Separate Edge-Case Semantics From Reused Happy-Path Logic

Logic that is valid for the forward path, default tensor type, or common object shape often becomes wrong when reused in adjacent code paths. Handle derivatives, dynamic dimensions, low-precision dtypes, and alternate mask/object representations as first-class

////

Summary#

Logic that is valid for the forward path, default tensor type, or common object shape often becomes wrong when reused in adjacent code paths. Handle derivatives, dynamic dimensions, low-precision dtypes, and alternate mask/object representations as first-class cases with their own semantics and regression tests.

Problem#

Implementations reused assumptions like "zero input implies zero gradient", "all masks expose ndim", or "QR works for every dtype", causing silent math errors or crashes in less common but supported modes.

Solution#

Define behavior per semantic path instead of reusing the nearest existing guard, branch on capabilities rather than nominal type shape, and add targeted tests for dynamic shapes, alternate object types, and precision-specific behavior.

Failure Modes#

  • Patching only the reported case can leave other adjacent edge cases inconsistent.
  • Branching on concrete classes instead of capabilities creates another round of brittle special cases.
  • Missing regression tests lets future refactors reintroduce the same assumption leak.
