////

Summary#

Many correctness bugs come from letting malformed shapes, padded regions, mixed-type payloads, or non-native encodings reach code that assumes normalized input. Normalize or reject at the boundary, then keep downstream code simple and consistent with actual invariants.

Problem#

Unchecked ranks, invalid channels, mixed-type JSON/index inputs, sign-extended narrow integers, and non-native byte order led to crashes, wrong outputs, or values outside the expected range.

Solution#

Add explicit precondition checks and masking/normalization steps at input boundaries: validate rank and shape early, zero or skip padded regions, constrain bit operations to the real bit width, and canonicalize serialized data before writing. Prefer a clean user-facing error or deterministic normalization over letting internal assumptions fail later.

Failure Modes#

  • Fatal CHECK or internal exception from impossible downstream assumptions
  • Incorrect results that only appear on edge cases such as padding, endianness, or narrow signed types
  • Low-value feature combinations exposing unsupported heterogeneous data paths
