Subject: [PATCH 03/17] refactor(deepeval): implement backend serialize via
 model.serialize

Switch DeepEval.serialize() to delegate to DeepEvalBackend.serialize(), and implement serialize() in each backend by calling the underlying model's serialize().

Also move Node import in dp show to module top-level.

Subject: [PATCH 04/17] fix(show): align backend serialize output contracts

Route JAX DeepEval serialization through the existing file-based serializer so .hlo and .savedmodel models follow the supported path instead of calling unimplemented model-level serialize() methods.

Also add the missing pt_version field to the PyTorch backend serializer and wrap pt_expt serialization in the backend-unified payload expected by dp show serialization-tree.

Add a targeted pt_expt serialization contract test.

Subject: [PATCH 06/17] refactor(show): decouple serialization tree from deep
 eval wrapper

Route dp show serialization-tree through backend file serialization hooks and pass only the serialized model payload into Node.deserialize(). This keeps Node focused on model structure instead of backend-specific envelope fields.

Add a focused unit test that locks the behavior at the entrypoint layer.

Subject: [PATCH 07/17] refactor(deepeval): serialize model tree only

Make DeepEval.serialize() return only the model serialization tree instead of a backend metadata envelope. This lets callers such as dp show serialization-tree consume model structure directly without caring about backend-specific data wrappers.

Keep full backend data serialization in backend serialize hooks for IO and backend conversion paths.

Subject: [PATCH 09/17] test(io): cover deep eval serialization in consistent
 io

Assert in the consistent IO deep-eval test that DeepEval.serialize() returns the same model tree as the backend serialize hook payload. This keeps the new serialize semantics covered in the shared cross-backend IO test.

Handle Paddle static models when serializing through DeepEval by falling back to self.dp when it is not a ModelWrapper. Also use numpy-aware equality in the consistent IO serialize check.
