Summary#
Multiple bug fixes came from code that selected a special path using a weak proxy such as cache presence, assumed feature-level counts, or a default attention mode. Reusable guidance is to gate fast paths on the complete semantic condition, then add targeted tests for boundary combinations where the proxy and the true invariant diverge.
Problem#
Optimized or specialized branches often infer correctness from one convenient flag even though the real precondition depends on several state variables.
Solution#
Define the true invariant explicitly, check it before entering the fast path, and cover edge cases like empty state, mixed signedness, extra synthesized levels, non-causal variants, and overflow/null semantics with regression tests.
Failure Modes#
- Cache existence is mistaken for single-step decode readiness
- Branch logic assumes counts or shapes that exceed available upstream outputs
- Default causal/non-causal assumptions leak into model variants
- Arithmetic or type edge cases behave differently at boundaries than in the common path
