+description: Debug AOTInductor (AOTI) errors including device mismatches, CUDA illegal memory access, segfaults, and wrong outputs when deploying compiled PyTorch models. Use when encountering errors with aoti_compile_and_package, aoti_load_package, or the deprecated aot_compile/aot_load APIs.

+# AOTInductor Debugging
+
+Debug errors when compiling and deploying PyTorch models with AOTInductor.
+
+## First Step: Always Check Device and Shape Matching
+
+**For ANY AOTI error (segfault, exception, crash, wrong output), check these first:**
+
+1. **Compile device == Load device**: The model must be loaded on the same device type it was compiled on
+2. **Input devices match**: Runtime inputs must be on the same device as the compiled model
+3. **Input shapes match**: Runtime input shapes must match compilation shapes (or satisfy dynamic shape constraints)
+
+```python
+# Compilation -- note the device and shapes
+model = MyModel().eval().cuda()
+inp = torch.randn(2, 10, device="cuda")
+pkg = torch._inductor.aoti_compile_and_package(model, (inp,))
+
+# Loading -- device type MUST match compilation
+loaded = torch._inductor.aoti_load_package(pkg)  # auto-detects device from package
+
+# Inference -- device and shapes MUST match
+out = loaded(torch.randn(2, 10, device="cuda"))  # same device, same shape
+```
+
+**AOTI requires compile and load to use the same device type.** Cross-device loading (compile on GPU, load on CPU) is NOT supported. Device index can differ (cuda:0 vs cuda:1).
+
+## Current vs Deprecated API
+
+### Current API (use this)
+```python
+torch._inductor.aoti_compile_and_package()  # compile
+torch._inductor.aoti_load_package()          # load (auto-detects device)
+```
+
+### Deprecated API (migrate away)
+```python
+torch._export.aot_compile()  # deprecated
+torch._export.aot_load()     # deprecated
+```
+
+The new API stores device metadata in the package, so `aoti_load_package()` automatically uses the correct device type.
+
+## Common Error Patterns
+
+### Device Mismatch Segfault
+
+**Symptom**: Segfault, exception, or crash during load or execution.
+
+**Example errors**:
+- `The specified pointer resides on host memory and is not registered with any CUDA device`
+- Crash during constant loading
+- `Expected out tensor to have device cuda:0, but got cpu instead`
+
+**Solution**: Ensure compile and load use the same device type.
+
+### Input Device Mismatch at Runtime
+
+**Symptom**: RuntimeError during model execution.
+
+**Better debugging**: Run with `AOTI_RUNTIME_CHECK_INPUTS=1` for clear errors:
+```bash
+AOTI_RUNTIME_CHECK_INPUTS=1 python script.py
+```
+
+Produces actionable messages like:
+```
+Error: input_handles[0]: unmatched device type, expected: 0(cpu), but got: 1(cuda)
+```
+
+## Debugging CUDA Illegal Memory Access (IMA)
+
+### Step 1: Sanity Checks
+
+```bash
+AOTI_RUNTIME_CHECK_INPUTS=1 python script.py          # validate inputs match compilation guards
+TORCHINDUCTOR_NAN_ASSERTS=1 python script.py           # check for NaN before/after each kernel
+```
+
+Both flags take effect at **compile time** (codegen time).
+
+### Step 2: Make IMA Deterministic
+
+```bash
+PYTORCH_NO_CUDA_MEMORY_CACHING=1 CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 python script.py
+```
+
+- `PYTORCH_NO_CUDA_MEMORY_CACHING=1` -- disables caching allocator (which allocates bigger buffers, masking IMA)
+- `CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1` -- forces synchronous kernel launches (pinpoints which kernel crashed)
+
+Both take effect at **runtime**.
+
+### Step 3: Identify the Problematic Kernel
+
+```bash
+AOT_INDUCTOR_DEBUG_INTERMEDIATE_VALUE_PRINTER=3 python script.py
+```
+
+Prints kernels one by one at runtime. Combined with Step 2 flags, shows which kernel launched right before the error.
+
+To inspect inputs to specific kernels:
+```bash
+AOT_INDUCTOR_FILTERED_KERNELS_TO_PRINT="kernel_name_1,kernel_name_2" \
+AOT_INDUCTOR_DEBUG_INTERMEDIATE_VALUE_PRINTER=2 python script.py
+```
+
+If inputs to a kernel are unexpected, trace back to the kernel that produced the bad input.
+
+## Environment Variables Reference
+
+| Variable | When | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `AOTI_RUNTIME_CHECK_INPUTS=1` | Compile time | Validate inputs match compilation guards |
+| `TORCHINDUCTOR_NAN_ASSERTS=1` | Compile time | Check for NaN before/after kernels |
+| `PYTORCH_NO_CUDA_MEMORY_CACHING=1` | Runtime | Make IMA errors deterministic |
+| `CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1` | Runtime | Force synchronous kernel launches |
+| `AOT_INDUCTOR_DEBUG_INTERMEDIATE_VALUE_PRINTER=3` | Compile time | Print kernels at runtime |
+| `AOT_INDUCTOR_FILTERED_KERNELS_TO_PRINT="..."` | Compile time | Filter which kernels to print |
+| `TORCH_LOGS="+inductor,output_code"` | Runtime | See PT2 internal logs |
+| `TORCH_SHOW_CPP_STACKTRACES=1` | Runtime | Show C++ stack traces |
+
+## Common Sources of Issues
+
+- **Dynamic shapes**: Historically a common source of IMA errors. Pay special attention when using dynamic shape constraints.
+- **Custom ops**: Especially C++ custom ops with dynamic shapes. The meta function may need to handle SymInt properly.

+---
+
+# PyTorch 2 Compile Debugging
+
+Debug `torch.compile`, Dynamo, Inductor, and AOTAutograd failures when using PyTorch as a library.
+
+## Diagnostic Environment Variables
+
+Pick the right diagnostic based on the error:
+
+| Command | When to use |
+|---|---|
+| `TORCH_LOGS="+dynamo,graph_breaks,recompiles" python script.py` | Quick overview of what's going wrong |
+| `TORCH_COMPILE_DEBUG=1 python script.py` | Full debug artifacts (FX graphs, Inductor IR, generated code) in `torch_compile_debug/` |
+| `TORCH_LOGS="output_code" python script.py` | See the generated Triton/C++ kernel code |
+| `TORCH_TRACE=/path/to/trace python script.py` | Structured trace (parse with `tlparse`) |
+| `TORCHINDUCTOR_COMPILE_THREADS=1 python script.py` | Single-threaded compilation for pdb debugging |
+
+## Error Triage
+
+Classify the failure and jump to the right section:
+
+| Error Pattern | Category |
+|---|---|
+| `Unsupported: ...` or `graph break` in logs | [Graph Breaks](#graph-breaks) |
+| `BackendCompilerFailed` | [Backend Failures](#backend-compiler-failures) |
+| `RecompileError` or `cache_size_limit` | [Recompilation](#recompilation-issues) |
+| Accuracy mismatch / wrong numerical output | [Accuracy](#accuracy-issues) |
+| `InternalTorchDynamoError` | [Internal Errors](#internal-dynamo-errors) |
+| Segfault or CUDA IMA | [Runtime Crashes](#runtime-crashes) |
+| Triton assertion / index out of bounds | [Triton Failures](#triton-kernel-failures) |
+
+## Graph Breaks
+
+Graph breaks split the compiled graph into smaller subgraphs, causing performance regressions.
+
+**Diagnose:**
+```bash
+TORCH_LOGS="graph_breaks" python script.py
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+- Data-dependent control flow
+- Unsupported Python builtins
+- In-place ops on inputs, unsupported dtypes
+- Calls to non-traceable functions
+
+**Fix approaches:**
+1. Read the graph break message to identify the unsupported operation
+2. Check for a decomposition or supported alternative
+3. Consider `torch._dynamo.allow_in_graph` or restructure user code
+
+## Backend Compiler Failures
+
+`BackendCompilerFailed` means Inductor crashed during compilation.
+
+**Diagnose with the minifier:**
+```bash
+# Generate minifier launcher
+TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_AFTER=aot TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_LEVEL=2 python script.py
+
+# Run the minifier to get minimal failing graph
+python minifier_launcher.py minify
+
+# Run the minimized reproduction
+python minifier_launcher.py run
+```
+
+**Then inspect:**
+```bash
+TORCH_COMPILE_DEBUG=1 python script.py  # FX graphs in torch_compile_debug/
+```
+
+## Recompilation Issues
+
+Excessive recompilation from guards that are too specific, causing cache misses.
+
+**Diagnose:**
+```bash
+TORCH_LOGS="recompiles,recompiles_verbose,guards" python script.py
+```
+
+**Key config:**
+```python
+torch._dynamo.config.recompile_limit  # default: 8
+torch._dynamo.config.fail_on_recompile_limit_hit = True  # hard error on limit
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+- Changing tensor shapes without marking them dynamic
+- Python scalar values that change between calls
+- Global state mutations between calls
+
+**Fix:** Read the recompilation reason from logs, identify the failing guard, then either:
+- Mark dimensions as dynamic: `torch._dynamo.mark_dynamic(tensor, dim)`
+- Fix the source of guard instability
+
+## Accuracy Issues
+
+Compiled model produces different numerical results than eager mode.
+
+**Diagnose:**
+```bash
+# Compares compiled vs eager with fp64 reference, dumps repro on failure
+TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_AFTER=aot TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_LEVEL=4 python script.py
+```
+
+**Fix approach:**
+1. Get minimal failing graph from the minifier
+2. Compare eager vs compiled output at fp64 precision
+3. Binary search through ops to find the diverging operation
+4. Check for known issues: reduction order, fused kernels, dtype promotions
+
+## Internal Dynamo Errors
+
+`InternalTorchDynamoError` indicates a bug in Dynamo.
+
+**Diagnose:**
+```bash
+TORCHDYNAMO_VERBOSE=1 python script.py
+# or equivalently:
+TORCH_LOGS="+dynamo" python script.py
+```
+
+**Debug interactively:**
+```bash
+TORCHINDUCTOR_COMPILE_THREADS=1 python script.py  # then attach pdb
+```
+
+## Runtime Crashes
+
+Segfaults and CUDA illegal memory access during execution of compiled code.
+
+**Make crash deterministic:**
+```bash
+PYTORCH_NO_CUDA_MEMORY_CACHING=1 CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 python script.py
+```
+
+**Add NaN checks to find the first bad kernel:**
+```bash
+TORCHINDUCTOR_NAN_ASSERTS=1 python script.py
+```
+
+**Inductor sync debugging:**
+```python
+torch._inductor.config.triton.debug_sync_kernel = True  # sync after every kernel
+torch._inductor.config.triton.debug_sync_graph = True   # sync before/after graph
+```
+
+**Fix approach:**
+1. Make deterministic with `PYTORCH_NO_CUDA_MEMORY_CACHING=1 CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1`
+2. Check input shapes, devices, dtypes
+3. Inspect generated kernel code with `TORCH_LOGS="output_code"`
+4. Use `TORCHINDUCTOR_NAN_ASSERTS=1` to find the first kernel producing bad values
+5. Dynamic shapes are historically a common source of IMA
+
+## Triton Kernel Failures
+
+Triton assertion failures or index-out-of-bounds in generated kernels.
+
+**Diagnose:**
+```bash
+TORCH_LOGS="output_code,schedule" python script.py
+```
+
+**Fix approach:**
+1. Get the generated Triton kernel from `output_code` logs
+2. Check index computations for off-by-one or wrong stride calculations
+3. Check IR with `TORCH_COMPILE_DEBUG=1` to trace back to the FX op
+4. Check if fusion decisions created invalid index combinations
+
+## Distinguish Trace-Time vs Runtime
+
+Many bugs come from confusing these:
+- **Trace-time**: Inside Dynamo's symbolic interpreter. Function calls may be constant-folded.
+- **Runtime**: Real tensors, real Python calls.
+
+When debugging, add `print()` directly in source files rather than monkey-patching -- dispatch chains make monkey-patching unreliable.
+
+## Using the Minifier
+
+The minifier reduces a failing graph to the smallest reproduction:
+
+```bash
+# For compilation failures (level 2)
+TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_AFTER=aot TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_LEVEL=2 python script.py
+python minifier_launcher.py minify
+python minifier_launcher.py run
+
+# For accuracy failures (level 4)
+TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_AFTER=aot TORCHDYNAMO_REPRO_LEVEL=4 python script.py
+```

+---
+
+# ruff
+
+Ruff is an extremely fast Python linter and code formatter. It replaces Flake8,
+isort, Black, pyupgrade, autoflake, and dozens of other tools.
+
+## When to use ruff
+
+**Always use ruff for Python linting and formatting**, especially if you see:
+
+- `[tool.ruff]` section in `pyproject.toml`
+- A `ruff.toml` or `.ruff.toml` configuration file
+
+However, avoid making unnecessary changes:
+
+- **Don't format unformatted code** - If `ruff format --diff` shows changes
+  throughout an entire file, the project likely isn't using ruff for formatting.
+  Skip formatting to avoid obscuring actual changes.
+- **Scope fixes to code being edited** - Use `ruff check --diff` to see fixes
+  relevant to the code you're changing. Only apply fixes to files you're
+  modifying unless the user explicitly asks for broader fixes.
+
+## How to invoke ruff
+
+- `uv run ruff ...` - Use when ruff is in the project's dependencies to ensure
+  you use the pinned version
+- `uvx ruff ...` - Use when ruff is not a project dependency, or for quick
+  one-off checks
+- `ruff ...` - Use if ruff is installed globally
+
+## Commands
+
+### Linting
+
+```bash
+ruff check .                  # Check all files in current directory
+ruff check path/to/file.py    # Check specific file
+ruff check --fix .            # Auto-fix fixable violations
+ruff check --fix --unsafe-fixes .  # Include unsafe fixes (review changes!)
+ruff check --watch .          # Watch for changes and re-lint
+ruff check --select E,F .     # Only check specific rules
+ruff check --ignore E501 .    # Ignore specific rules
+ruff rule E501                # Explain a specific rule
+ruff linter                   # List available linters
+```
+
+### Formatting
+
+```bash
+ruff format .                 # Format all files
+ruff format path/to/file.py   # Format specific file
+ruff format --check .         # Check if files are formatted (no changes)
+ruff format --diff .          # Show formatting diff without applying
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Ruff is configured in `pyproject.toml` or `ruff.toml`:
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml
+[tool.ruff.lint]
+select = ["E", "F", "I", "UP"]  # Enable specific rule sets
+ignore = ["E501"]               # Ignore specific rules
+
+[tool.ruff.lint.isort]
+known-first-party = ["myproject"]
+```
+
+## Migrating from other tools
+
+### Black → ruff format
+
+```bash
+black .                       → ruff format .
+black --check .               → ruff format --check .
+black --diff .                → ruff format --diff .
+```
+
+### Flake8 → ruff check
+
+```bash
+flake8 .                      → ruff check .
+flake8 --select E,F .         → ruff check --select E,F .
+flake8 --ignore E501 .        → ruff check --ignore E501 .
+```
+
+### isort → ruff check
+
+```bash
+isort .                       → ruff check --select I --fix .
+isort --check .               → ruff check --select I .
+isort --diff .                → ruff check --select I --diff .
+```
+
+## Common patterns
+
+### Apply lint fixes before formatting
+
+Run `ruff check --fix` before `ruff format`. Lint fixes can change code
+structure (e.g., reordering imports), which formatting then cleans up.
+
+```bash
+ruff check --fix .
+ruff format .
+```
+
+### Applying and reviewing unsafe fixes
+
+Ruff categorizes some auto-fixes as "unsafe" because they may change code
+behavior, not just style. For example, removing unused imports could break code
+that relies on side effects.
+
+```bash
+ruff check --fix --unsafe-fixes --diff .  # Preview changes first
+ruff check --fix --unsafe-fixes .         # Apply changes
+```
+
+**Always review changes before applying `--unsafe-fixes`:**
+
+- Use `ruff rule <CODE>` to understand why the fix is considered unsafe
+- Verify the fix doesn't violate those assumptions in your code

+---
+
+# ty
+
+ty is an extremely fast Python type checker and language server. It replaces
+mypy, Pyright, and other type checkers.
+
+## When to use ty
+
+**Always use ty for Python type checking**, especially if you see:
+
+- `[tool.ty]` section in `pyproject.toml`
+- A `ty.toml` configuration file
+
+## How to invoke ty
+
+- `uv run ty ...` - Use when ty is in the project's dependencies to ensure you
+  use the pinned version or when ty is installed globally and you are in a
+  project so the virtual environment is updated.
+- `uvx ty ...` - Use when ty is not a project dependency, or for quick one-off
+  checks
+
+## Commands
+
+### Type checking
+
+```bash
+ty check                      # Check all files in current directory
+ty check path/to/file.py      # Check specific file
+ty check src/                 # Check specific directory
+```
+
+### Rule configuration
+
+```bash
+ty check --error possibly-unresolved-reference   # Treat as error
+ty check --warn division-by-zero                 # Treat as warning
+ty check --ignore unresolved-import              # Disable rule
+```
+
+### Python version targeting
+
+```bash
+ty check --python-version 3.12     # Check against Python 3.12
+ty check --python-platform linux   # Target Linux platform
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+ty is configured in `pyproject.toml` or `ty.toml`:
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml
+[tool.ty.environment]
+python-version = "3.12"
+
+[tool.ty.rules]
+possibly-unresolved-reference = "warn"
+division-by-zero = "error"
+
+[tool.ty.src]
+include = ["src/**/*.py"]
+exclude = ["**/migrations/**"]
+
+[tool.ty.terminal]
+output-format = "full"
+error-on-warning = false
+```
+
+### Per-file overrides
+
+Use overrides to apply different rules to specific files, such as relaxing rules
+for tests or scripts that have different typing requirements than production
+code:
+
+```toml
+[[tool.ty.overrides]]
+include = ["tests/**", "**/test_*.py"]
+
+[tool.ty.overrides.rules]
+possibly-unresolved-reference = "warn"
+```
+
+## Language server
+
+This plugin automatically configures the ty language server for Python files
+(`.py` and `.pyi`).
+
+## Migrating from other tools
+
+### mypy → ty
+
+```bash
+mypy .                        → ty check
+mypy --strict .               → ty check --error-on-warning
+mypy path/to/file.py          → ty check path/to/file.py
+```
+
+### Pyright → ty
+
+```bash
+pyright .                     → ty check
+pyright path/to/file.py       → ty check path/to/file.py
+```
+
+## Common patterns
+
+### Don't add ignore comments
+
+Fix type errors instead of suppressing them. Only add ignore comments when
+explicitly requested by the user. Use `ty: ignore`, not `type: ignore`, and
+prefer rule-specific ignores:
+
+```python
+# Good: rule-specific ignore
+x = undefined_var  # ty: ignore[possibly-unresolved-reference]
+
+# Bad: blanket ty ignore
+x = undefined_var  # ty: ignore
+
+# Bad: tool agnostic blanket ignore
+x = undefined_var  # type: ignore
+```

+description:
+  Guide for using uv, the Python package and project manager. Use this when
+  working with Python projects, scripts, packages, or tools.
+---
+
+# uv
+
+uv is an extremely fast Python package and project manager. It replaces pip,
+pip-tools, pipx, pyenv, virtualenv, poetry, etc.
+
+## When to use uv
+
+**Always use uv for Python work**, especially if you see:
+
+- The `uv.lock` file
+- uv headers in `requirements*` files, e.g., "This file was autogenerated by uv"
+
+Don't use uv in projects managed by other tools:
+
+- Poetry projects (identifiable by `poetry.lock` file)
+- PDM projects (identifiable by `pdm.lock` file)
+
+## Choosing the right workflow
+
+### Scripts
+
+**Use when:** Running single Python files and standalone scripts.
+
+**Key commands:**
+
+```bash
+uv run script.py                      # Run a script
+uv run --with requests script.py      # Run with additional packages
+uv add --script script.py requests    # Add dependencies inline to the script
+```
+
+### Projects
+
+**Use when:** There is a `pyproject.toml` or `uv.lock`
+
+**Key commands:**
+
+```bash
+uv init                   # Create new project
+uv add requests           # Add dependency
+uv remove requests        # Remove dependency
+uv sync                   # Install from lockfile
+uv run <command>          # Run commands in environment
+uv run python -c ""       # Run Python in project environment
+uv run -p 3.12 <command>  # Run with specific Python version
+```
+
+### Tools
+
+**Use when:** Running command-line tools (e.g., ruff, ty, pytest) without
+installation.
+
+**Key commands:**
+
+```bash
+uvx <tool> <args>            # Run a tool without installation
+uvx <tool>@<version> <args>  # Run a specific version of a tool
+```
+
+**Important:**
+
+- `uvx` runs tools from PyPI by package name. This can be unsafe - only run
+  well-known tools.
+- Only use `uv tool install` only when specifically requested by the user.
+
+### Pip interface
+
+**Use when:** Legacy workflows with `requirements.txt` or manual environment
+management, no `uv.lock` present.
+
+**Key commands:**
+
+```bash
+uv venv
+uv pip install -r requirements.txt
+uv pip compile requirements.in -o requirements.txt
+uv pip sync requirements.txt
+
+# Platform independent resolution
+uv pip compile --universal requirements.in -o requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Important:**
+
+- Don't use the pip interface unless clearly needed.
+- Don't introduce new `requirements.txt` files.
+- Prefer `uv init` for new projects.
+
+## Migrating from other tools
+
+### pyenv → uv python
+
+```bash
+pyenv install 3.12       → uv python install 3.12
+pyenv versions           → uv python list --only-installed
+pyenv local 3.12         → uv python pin 3.12
+pyenv global 3.12        → uv python install 3.12 --default
+```
+
+### pipx → uvx
+
+```bash
+pipx run ruff            → uvx ruff
+pipx install ruff        → uv tool install ruff
+pipx upgrade ruff        → uv tool upgrade ruff
+pipx list                → uv tool list
+```
+
+### pip and pip-tools → uv pip
+
+```bash
+pip install package      → uv pip install package
+pip install -r req.txt   → uv pip install -r req.txt
+pip freeze               → uv pip freeze
+pip-compile req.in       → uv pip compile req.in
+pip-sync req.txt         → uv pip sync req.txt
+virtualenv .venv         → uv venv
+```
+
+## Common patterns
+
+### Don't use pip in uv projects
+
+```bash
+# Bad
+pip install requests
+
+# Good
+uv add requests
+```
+
+### Don't run python directly
+
+```bash
+# Bad
+python script.py
+
+# Good
+uv run script.py
+```
+
+```bash
+# Bad
+python -c "..."
+
+# Good
+uv run python -c "..."
+```
+
+```bash
+# Bad
+python3.12 -c "..."
+
+# Good
+uvx python@3.12 -c "..."
+```
+
+### Don't manually manage environments in uv projects
+
+```bash
+# Bad
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Good
+uv run <command>
+```

 ## Structure
 Luminal is a core-and-plugin design, where the core crate `.` contains everything core to Luminal including the graph and the GraphTensor api, the shapetracker, and the primitive ops.
 
-All other functionality is split into crates in the `crates/` directory. For instance, the Cuda compiler is in `luminal_cuda` and the autograd engine is in `luminal_training`. `luminal_nn` has common nn modules.

 ## Testing Instructions
 - Find the CI plan in the .github/workflows folder.
-- Currently running `cargo test` in luminal_metal and luminal_cuda require access to an Apple and Nvidia GPU respectively.
+- Currently running `cargo test` in luminal_metal and luminal_cuda_lite require access to an Apple and Nvidia GPU respectively.

+# Luminal
+
+## Package Management
+
+- Use `uv add`, `uv add --dev`, `uv remove` for Python dependencies (pyproject.toml is in `crates/luminal_python/`)
+- Use `uv sync` to sync the Python environment
+- Never use pip, pip-tools, poetry, or conda
+- Never manually create or activate virtual environments — uv manages `.venv/` automatically
+- Never generate requirements.txt
+
+## Code Execution
+
+- Always use `uv run` to execute Python tools: `uv run pytest`, `uv run pre-commit`, `uv run python`
+- Use `cargo` directly for Rust: `cargo build`, `cargo test`, `cargo check`, `cargo clippy`
+- Python project root is `crates/luminal_python/` — run `uv run` commands from there
+
+## Building the Python Package (Maturin)
+
+- After modifying `.rs` files that affect the Python bridge, rebuild with: `maturin develop --release`
+- Maturin config is in `crates/luminal_python/pyproject.toml` under `[tool.maturin]`
+
+## Pre-commit
+
+- Run with: `uv run pre-commit run --all-files`
+- Hooks configured: ruff-check, ruff-format (Python), cargo-fmt, cargo-clippy (Rust)
+- Manual-stage hooks (cargo-clippy-metal, cargo-clippy-cuda-lite) run with `--hook-stage manual`
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Rust tests**: `cargo test -p <crate_name>`
+- **Python tests**: `cd crates/luminal_python && uv run pytest`
+  - `./run_test.sh` — native backend
+  - `./run_tests_cuda.sh` — CUDA backend
+- See `crates/luminal_python/CLAUDE.md` for Python test patterns and conventions

 ### Architecture
 
-`luminal_cuda` can model a joint search space that smoothly searches through various mixed configurations of these ops. At compile time, a waterfall process takes place to iteratively raise each op to the level above, resulting in all host-level ops in the final runtime graph. For instance, block ops get combined into megakernels, implemented as kernel ops. Kernel ops get combined into cuda graphs, implemented as host ops.

+; GLUMoE: Match the expert computation subgraph of a Gated MoE (SwiGLU variant).
+;
+; This matches the pattern produced by QwenMoE::forward() starting from the
+; expert gathers through to the final weighted sum, and replaces it with a
+; fused GLUMoE HostOp.
+;
+; Inputs extracted:
+;   ?x            - input activations [s, H] F32
+;   ?topk_idx     - top-k expert indices [s, k] Int (from argsort+slice)
+;   ?topk_vals    - top-k routing values [s, k] F32 (from gather on softmax)
+;   ?gate_up_w    - stacked gate+up expert weights [E, intermediate*2, H] BF16
+;   ?down_w       - stacked down expert weights [E, H, intermediate] BF16
+;
+; The pattern captures:
+;   1. Gate-up expert gather (Iota, Mul, Cast, Iota, Cast, Add, Cast, Gather)
+;   2. Cast BF16→F32 of gathered gate-up weights
+;   3. Gate-up batched matmul (Mul + SumReduce)
+;   4. Gate/Up split via Iota+Gather (slice semantics)
+;   5. SwiGLU: silu(gate) * up
+;   6. Down expert gather (same pattern as gate-up)
+;   7. Cast BF16→F32 of gathered down weights
+;   8. Down batched matmul (Mul + SumReduce)
+;   9. Weighted sum: (down_out * topk_values) summed over k
+;
+; Variables with ? prefix are egglog pattern variables.
+; We use wildcards (?_xxx) for shapes/strides we don't extract.

+- Always use `uv run` to execute Python tools (pytest, pre-commit, python) — never bare `pytest` or `python`
+- Use `uv add` / `uv add --dev` / `uv remove` for dependencies — never hand-edit pyproject.toml deps
+- After modifying Rust source files, rebuild before running Python tests: `maturin develop --release`

+## Lessons Learned
+
+At the end of any session that involved a hard or non-obvious bug, append an entry to
+`LessonsLearned.md` in this directory. A "hard bug" means any bug that required significant
+investigation — intermittent failures, wrong output without a crash, egglog/optimizer issues,
+or anything that took more than a few minutes to locate.
+
+Each entry should cover:
+1. **What the symptom was** (test failure, wrong output, panic, etc.)
+2. **What the actual root cause was** (the specific code/logic that was wrong)
+3. **Why it was hard to find** (what made it non-obvious or intermittent)
+4. **The fix** (what changed and why it works)
+5. **A general principle** extracted from the bug — something that helps avoid the same
+   class of mistake in future code
+
+The goal is to build a living record of codebase-specific pitfalls that future sessions can
+consult before writing new egglog rules, CUDA kernels, or optimizer passes.
+1. If you want to run tests:
+   - `./run_test.sh` - runs tests with the native backend
+   - `./run_tests_cuda.sh` - runs tests with the CUDA backend
+
+## Testing Best Practices
+
+### Overview
+The luminal_python crate provides a bridge between PyTorch models and the luminal library via ONNX. Tests should verify this integration end-to-end by testing the actual user workflow: PyTorch model → torch.compile → luminal backend.
+
+### Test Pattern (CORRECT)
+
+All tests should follow this standard pattern:
+
+```python
+def test_operation():
+    """Brief description of what operation is being tested."""
+    # 1. Instantiate PyTorch model
+    model: torch.nn.Module = OperationTestModel()
+
+    # 2. Compile with luminal backend
+    model_compiled: Callable = torch.compile(model, backend=luminal_backend)
+
+    # 3. Create test input
+    x: torch.Tensor = torch.tensor([...])  # or torch.rand(...)
+
+    # 4. Run both original and compiled versions
+    original: torch.Tensor = model(x)
+    output: torch.Tensor = model_compiled(x)
+
+    # 5. Verify outputs match
+    assert torch.allclose(output, original)
+```
+
+### Test Models
+
+- Define test model classes in `tests/test_models.py`
+- Each model should be a simple `torch.nn.Module` that demonstrates one operation or pattern
+- Use clear, descriptive class names (e.g., `AddTestModel`, `TransposeTestModel`)
+- Include docstrings explaining what the model tests
+
+Example:
+```python
+class AddTestModel(torch.nn.Module):
+    """Tests element-wise addition."""
+    def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
+        return x + x
+```
+
+### What NOT to Do
+
+**❌ DO NOT create ONNX files directly in tests:**
+```python
+# WRONG - bypasses the PyTorch integration
+model_path = create_onnx_model(...)
+graph_result = luminal.process_onnx(model_path, backend='native')
+```
+
+**✓ DO create PyTorch models and use torch.compile:**
+```python
+# CORRECT - tests actual user workflow
+model: torch.nn.Module = MyTestModel()
+model_compiled = torch.compile(model, backend=luminal_backend)
+```
+
+### Rationale
+
+- **End-to-end testing**: Tests verify the complete PyTorch → ONNX → luminal pipeline
+- **User-facing API**: Tests use the same API that users will use (torch.compile)
+- **Correctness**: Comparing compiled vs original PyTorch output ensures correctness
+- **Maintainability**: Consistent pattern across all tests makes the codebase easier to understand
+- **Simplicity**: No manual ONNX file creation, no tempfile cleanup, no numpy comparisons
+
+### Special Cases
+
+**Testing constants:**
+Use inline tensor literals in the forward method - PyTorch exports these as ONNX Constant nodes:
+```python
+def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
+    constant = torch.tensor([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
+    return x + constant
+```
+
+**Testing type casts:**
+Use `.to(dtype)` method - PyTorch exports these as ONNX Cast nodes:
+```python
+def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
+    return x.to(torch.float32)
+```
+
+**Testing complex operations:**
+Chain operations naturally in PyTorch - ONNX export handles the conversion:
+```python
+def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
+    transposed = x.transpose(0, 1)
+    scaled = transposed * 2.0
+    return scaled + 1.0
+```

+
+## 2026-02-24 — Intermittent CUDA Backend Failures: Embed False Match + Batched Matmul Dimension Drop
+
+### Background: Why the Failures Were Intermittent
+
+Both bugs only appeared on roughly 50% of test runs. The source of non-determinism is
+`FxHashMap` (a fixed-seed hash map). The egglog optimizer's `SerializedEGraph::new` builds
+`Vec<NodeId>` orderings for each e-class by iterating a `FxHashMap`, producing non-deterministic
+node orderings. `random_initial_choice()` in `src/egglog_utils/mod.rs` then randomly picks one
+e-node per e-class as the starting representation for the profiling phase. The combination means
+some runs pick a correct kernel and some pick a broken one from the same e-class.
+
+**Lesson**: When a test fails intermittently at a roughly 50% rate, suspect the egglog extractor
+choosing between two e-nodes in the same e-class — one correct, one broken. The fix is always in
+the broken e-node's rewrite rule.
+
+---
+
+### Bug 1: `test_gather_elements` — KernelEmbed and RowEmbed False Match
+
+**Files changed**:
+- `crates/luminal_cuda/src/kernel/hlir.rs` (KernelEmbed, 4 rules)
+- `crates/luminal_cuda/src/block/ops.rs` (RowEmbed, 4 rules)
+
+#### What happened
+
+`gather_elements` (axis-aware gather) decomposes into a flat gather by computing:
+
+```
+flat_idx = Add(
+    Mul(indices, stride[axis]),
+    Mul(Expand(Iota(dim_size)), stride[non_axis])
+)
+```
+
+`KernelEmbed` and `RowEmbed` are optimized embedding lookup kernels. A genuine embedding
+lookup produces:
+
+```
+flat_idx = Add(
+    Mul(Cast(token_ids), embed_dim),
+    Iota(embed_dim)              ← bare Iota, the position within an embedding row
+)
+```
+
+The egglog rewrite rules for both ops matched `Add(?mul_result, ?iota_result)` where
+`?iota_result` was **unconstrained** — it could bind to anything, including
+`Mul(Expand(Iota(n)), stride)` from `gather_elements`. This created a `KernelEmbed`/`RowEmbed`
+node in the same e-class as the `Gather` node. When the extractor picked it, `build_payload`
+called `flatten_mul_strides(range, token_stride)` which asserted `range.len() == token_stride.len()`:
+- `range` came from `RemoveNthFromEnd(idx_shape, 0)` → length 1
+- `token_stride` came from the indices strides → length 2
+- Assertion failed → panic.
+
+#### The fix
+
+Add `(= ?iota_result (Iota ?iota_expr ?iota_range))` to all 8 rules, requiring the positional
+component to be a bare `Iota` node:
+
+```egglog
+(= ?indices (Add ?add_shape ?mul_result ?mul_stride ?iota_result ?iota_stride ?add_out_stride))
+(= ?iota_result (Iota ?iota_expr ?iota_range))   ← added
+(= ?mul_result (Mul ...))
+```
+
+#### Investigation note
+
+The initial plan correctly identified `KernelEmbed` as faulty, but missed `RowEmbed`. The two
+ops are structurally identical but live in different parts of the codebase (`kernel/` vs
+`block/`). The second bug was only discovered when the backtrace pointed to
+`RowEmbed::build_payload` instead of `KernelEmbed::compile`. Always search for sibling
+implementations when fixing a pattern-matching bug in one op.
+

+
+### Bug 2: `test_matmul_batched` — CuBlasLt Drops Batch Dimension
+
+**Files changed**:
+- `crates/luminal_cuda/src/host/cublaslt/cublaslt_RmRm_rewrite.egg`
+- `crates/luminal_cuda/src/host/cublaslt/cublaslt_RmCm_rewrite.egg`
+- `crates/luminal_cuda/src/host/cublaslt/cublaslt_CmRm_rewrite.egg`
+- `crates/luminal_cuda/src/host/cublaslt/cublaslt_CmCm_rewrite.egg`
+
+#### What happened
+
+The luminal frontend decomposes `(2,3,4) @ (2,4,5)` into:
+
+```rust
+let w = rhs.permute((0, 2, 1));       // (2,4,5) → (2,5,4)
+let mul = self.expand_dim(2, d)        // (2,3,4) → (2,3,5,4)
+        * w.expand_dim(1, b);          // (2,5,4) → (2,3,5,4)
+mul.sum(3)                             // → (2,3,5), correct out_shape
+```
+
+All four cublaslt rewrite rules extracted `m` and `n` from the output shape using
+`nth_from_end`, which succeeds for any rank:
+
+```egglog
+(= ?m (nth_from_end ?out_shape 1))
+(= ?n (nth_from_end ?out_shape 0))
+```
+
+For `out_shape = [2, 3, 5]`: `?m = 3`, `?n = 5`. The batch dim `2` is never extracted or
+stored. The rules also validated stride patterns using `nth_from_end` on the stride arrays —
+but for this batched case, **all stride checks coincidentally passed** because the last three
+strides of the 4D expanded tensors happened to satisfy the 2D row/column-major patterns.
+
+The resulting `CuBlasLt` node had `output_size() = m * n = 15`. The batch dimension was
+silently discarded. The runtime allocated a 15-element output buffer, cuBLAS wrote a 3×5
+result, and the test got back 15 values instead of 30.
+
+#### The fix
+
+Add `(= (len ?out_shape) 2)` to all 4 rules:
+
+```egglog
+(= (len ?out_shape) 2)    ← added: cuBLAS is 2D only
+(= ?m (nth_from_end ?out_shape 1))
+(= ?n (nth_from_end ?out_shape 0))
+```
+
+`len` counts elements in the `ECons`-list shape. With this constraint, any `Sum` node with a
+3D+ output shape (batched matmul) is not matched by cuBLAS rules and falls through to
+`KernelSumReduce + KernelMul` (or the tiling block ops), which correctly use
+`out_shape.iter().product()` for their output sizes.
+
+Note: `TileMatmulSplitK` and `TileMatmulFullSplit` do NOT need this fix — their `output_size()`
+already returns `untiled_range.iter().product()` which includes all dimensions.
+
+---
+
+### General Principle: Always Constrain Shape Rank in Egglog Rules
+
+Both bugs share the same structural cause: **egglog rewrite rules that used `nth_from_end` to
+extract dimensions from a shape list without constraining the list's length.** Since
+`nth_from_end` silently succeeds for any list with enough trailing elements, rules written for
+2D tensors accidentally matched higher-rank tensors.
+
+**Rule for writing egglog rewrite rules in this codebase**:
+
+> If a rule is designed for a specific tensor rank, always add an explicit
+> `(= (len ?shape) N)` constraint. If a rule is designed to handle arbitrary ranks but an
+> op's output only covers a subset of dimensions (like cuBLAS covering only the last 2),
+> that is a correctness bug — either implement strided batched cuBLAS or add the rank
+> constraint and fall back to a kernel that handles all dimensions.
+
+---
+
+### Debugging Intermittent CUDA Failures: Effective Approach
+
+The investigation used extensive `eprintln!` debug logging to trace which kernels were compiled
+vs. skipped. Key observations:
+
+1. **In the passing case**: `KernelSumReduce::compile()` was called, kernels were allocated.
+2. **In the failing case**: `KernelSumReduce::compile()` was never called, yet output was produced.
+
+This asymmetry pointed to a `HostOp` path (cuBLAS) executing instead of the `KernelOp` path,
+which narrowed the search to cublaslt rewrite rules. The HLIR-level `SumReduce::to_egglog` log
+confirmed the correct HLIR node existed — the bug was in the e-graph optimization choosing
+a different (broken) e-node from the same e-class.
+
+**Effective debug strategy for egglog non-determinism bugs**:
+1. Add logging at compile time for each kernel type (`KernelFoo::compile`, `HostFoo::execute`)
+2. Compare passing vs. failing runs to see which kernels are/aren't invoked
+3. The missing kernel's e-class contains a broken alternative — find it via the egglog rewrite rules
+4. Check the op that *is* executing — its `output_size()` reveals what's wrong with the false match

+
+## 2026-02-25 — OneHot Test Panic: Cast(Int→F32) Produces Int Output
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_onehot` panicked at `src/hlir.rs:1625` in `get_f32()`: the output buffer was
+`NativeData::Int` instead of the expected `NativeData::F32`.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+The Cast parser's `* 1.0` workaround for `Int → F32` casts used `input * one_expanded`
+(Int GraphTensor on the left, F32 constant on the right). However, `Mul for GraphTensor`
+always uses `self.dtype` (the **left** operand's dtype) for the result, and the native
+runtime's `Mul::execute` dispatches on the **first** input's `NativeData` variant. So
+`Int * F32` produced `DType::Int` / `NativeData::Int` — the exact opposite of the intended
+F32 output.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **The OneHot parser was a red herring**: The initial plan assumed the OneHot ONNX node
+   was being parsed, but `torch.onnx.export` decomposes `one_hot` into
+   `Unsqueeze → Equal → Cast(Bool→Int) → Cast(Int→F32)`. The OneHot parser was never called.
+2. **The `* 1.0` workaround looked correct**: It was used successfully in many other parsers,
+   but those all had F32 inputs (where `F32 * F32 = F32`). The Int→F32 case was the only
+   path where the left operand was Int.
+3. **Operand order matters silently**: Nothing warns about mixed-dtype Mul — it just takes
+   the left operand's dtype.
+
+### The fix
+
+In `ops_parse/unary.rs` `parse_cast_node`, split the combined condition into two cases:
+- **No-op cast** (`cast_result.id == input.id`): `input * one_expanded` — preserves dtype
+- **Int source** (`input.dtype == DType::Int`): `one_expanded * input` — F32 on the left
+  ensures F32 output
+
+### General principle
+
+**In luminal, binary op dtype is always the LEFT operand's dtype.** When constructing
+`GraphTensor * constant_float(1.0)` for type materialization, always put the operand
+whose dtype you want to preserve on the LEFT side. When converting Int→F32, the F32
+constant must be the left operand.
+

+
+## 2026-02-26 — ScatterND Fails on CUDA: "does not produce an egraph"
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_scatter_nd` passed on native backend but failed on CUDA with "does not produce an
+egraph". The CUDA compilation could not extract a valid program from the e-graph.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+`scatter_nd` in `movement.rs` does `indices * 1` (line 353) to materialize the tensor for
+reshaping. The `* 1` dispatches to `Mul<S: Into<Expression>>`, which creates a `constant(1)`
+→ `Iota(1,1)` → `DType::Int`. But the ONNX parser creates all tensors as `DType::F32`
+(via `named_tensor()` in `compiled_graph.rs:70`), so indices arrive as F32. This produces
+`Mul(F32, Int)` — mixed dtypes.
+
+The HLIR Mul dtype rule (`hlir.rs:886-888`) uses `(= ?dty (dtype ?lhs))` and
+`(= ?dty (dtype ?rhs))` with the same `?dty` variable, requiring both inputs to have
+matching dtypes. `F32 != Int` → the rule never fires → the Mul node gets **no dtype**.
+
+Every downstream op checks `(= ?dty (dtype ?upstream))`. Without dtype on the Mul, no
+CUDA kernel rewrite rules fire for any downstream op (KernelMul, KernelAdd, KernelLessThan,
+etc.). When `cleanup_hlir` runs (enabled for CUDA, disabled for native), it deletes all
+unrewritten HLIR ops, leaving empty e-classes → egraph extraction fails.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **Works on native**: `cleanup_hlir = false` for NativeRuntime, so unrewritten HLIR ops
+   are never deleted. NativeOp dispatches on actual runtime data, not egglog dtype.
+2. **Cascading failure**: The root cause (missing dtype on one Mul) silently propagated
+   through every downstream op, making it look like a systemic CUDA issue rather than a
+   single dtype mismatch.
+3. **`scatter_elements` works fine**: The sibling op already cast indices via
+   `(idx_f32 + (is_neg * adj)).cast(DType::Int)`, so only `scatter_nd` had this bug.
+
+### The fix
+
+Added `let indices = indices.cast(DType::Int);` at the top of `scatter_nd` in
+`movement.rs`, before any arithmetic on indices. `GraphTensor::cast()` short-circuits
+when `self.dtype == dtype`, so this is safe for callers already passing Int indices.
+Also added the same cast in `parse_scatter_nd_node` for explicitness.
+
+### General principle
+
+**Always cast index tensors to `DType::Int` before arithmetic in graph-building code.**
+ONNX tensors arrive as F32 from the Python bridge. Any `indices * stride` or
+`indices * 1` will produce `Mul(F32, Int)` which breaks HLIR dtype propagation on CUDA.
+The pattern `let indices = indices.cast(DType::Int);` at the top of any index-consuming
+function is defensive and free (no-op when already Int).

+
+## 2026-03-04 — Dynamic Shapes: Empty Buffer for BOOL Scalar Initializer
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_hf_llama_decode_loop_dynamic` panicked at `bin_fn: a index 0 out of bounds (a.len=0), shape=[1, 1, 4, 4], strides=[0, 0, 0, 0]`. An Input node labeled `"new_ones"` had an empty buffer at runtime.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+Two issues combined:
+
+1. **`load_tensor_floats` didn't handle ONNX data_type=9 (BOOL)**. The `new_ones` initializer was a BOOL scalar (1 byte in `raw_data`). `load_tensor_floats` fell through to the fallback case, which tried `chunks_exact(4)` on 1 byte → produced 0 chunks → returned empty vec `[]`. The buffer was set with empty data.
+
+2. **Scalar initializers with empty `dims` created 0-dimensional tensors**. ONNX represents scalars with `dims=[]`. The initializer loop computed `shape = init.dims.iter().map(|&d| d as usize).collect()` → empty vec `[]`, then called `named_tensor(name, [])` which created a tensor with 0 dimensions instead of the intended scalar `[1]`.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **Misdiagnosed as ConstantOfShape issue**: The original plan targeted `ConstantOfShape` with dynamic shapes. The shape `[1,1,4,4]` with strides `[0,0,0,0]` looked like a broadcast from a constant fill. But `parse_constant_of_shape` was never called — the `new_ones` tensor came from an ONNX initializer, not a computation node.
+
+2. **The BOOL data type is unusual**: Most ONNX tensors are FLOAT, INT32, or INT64. BOOL initializers only appear in specific patterns (like `torch.ones()` in attention mask computation). `load_initializer_as_f32` already handled BOOL, but its sibling `load_tensor_floats` didn't.
+
+3. **Empty vec is valid data**: `set_data(node_id, [])` doesn't panic — it silently sets an empty buffer. The error only manifests later when a downstream op tries to read index 0.
+
+### The fix
+
+1. Added `data_type=9` (BOOL) handling to `load_tensor_floats` in `util.rs` — same logic as `load_initializer_as_f32`: 1 byte per element, non-zero → 1.0, zero → 0.0.
+
+2. In `compiled_graph.rs`, initializer tensor creation: if `shape.is_empty()`, set `shape = vec![1]` (scalar representation in luminal).
+
+### General principle
+
+**Keep data loading functions in sync.** `load_tensor_floats` and `load_initializer_as_f32` serve the same purpose (loading ONNX TensorProto data as f32) but had different data type coverage. When adding a new data type to one, check and update the other. Better yet, refactor them into a single function.
+
+**ONNX scalars have `dims=[]`, luminal scalars have shape `[1]`.** Always convert empty dims to `[1]` when creating luminal tensors from ONNX data.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-03-04 — Where Node Missing Broadcast: KernelMul flatten_strides Panic on CUDA
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_hf_llama3_1b_decode_loop_dynamic` panicked at `flatten_strides` with `left: 4, right: 1` during
+CUDA `KernelMul::compile`. The `KernelMul` had `out_shape=[1, 1, a, a]` but `b_stride=[z]` (1D).
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+`parse_where_node` called `x.cond(condition, y)` without broadcasting the inputs to matching ranks.
+The ONNX Where op for the attention mask had condition=[1,1,a,a] (4D), x=[1] (scalar), y=[1] (scalar).
+Luminal's `cond` doesn't auto-broadcast — it passes the shape trackers directly to the HLIR node.
+The resulting Mul had input A with 4D strides and input B with 1D strides.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **Only triggered by 1B model**: The tiny model's Where inputs all had matching ranks (no scalars).
+2. **CUDA-only**: The native runtime's `bin_fn` uses `StridedIterator` which handles mismatched
+   strides more gracefully. CUDA's `KernelMul::compile` calls `flatten_strides` which asserts
+   `range.len() == strides.len()`.
+3. **Delayed crash**: The mismatch was created during ONNX parsing but only manifested during
+   CUDA kernel compilation (graph search phase).
+
+### The fix
+
+Added numpy-style broadcasting to `parse_where_node`: compute the broadcast shape across all 3
+inputs, then `broadcast_to_expr` each to the common shape before calling `cond`.
+
+### General principle
+
+**ONNX binary/ternary ops all use numpy broadcasting.** When parsing ONNX ops that take multiple
+tensor inputs (Where, Add, Mul, etc.), always broadcast all inputs to a common shape BEFORE
+calling the luminal graph operation. Luminal graph ops do NOT auto-broadcast — they expect inputs
+with matching shape tracker dimensions.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-03-05 — TopK Values Wrong on CUDA (gather_elements with sliced non-contiguous indices)
+
+1. **Symptom**: `test_topk_values` failed on CUDA — rows 0-1 were correct but rows 2+ returned
+   the value at column 0 of each row (all three top-k positions got the same value).
+   Native backend was fine.
+
+2. **Root cause**: `gather_elements` was called with a non-contiguous index tensor produced by
+   `argsort(axis=1) → slice_along(..k, axis=1)`. The slice creates a ShapeTracker view of the
+   [4,8] argsort buffer with dims [4,3] and strides [8,1]. When this flowed through the
+   gather_elements Int arithmetic chain (cast, multiply, add) and into the final Gather CUDA
+   kernel, the non-contiguous strides caused incorrect index reads for later rows.
+
+3. **Why it was hard to find**: `test_topk_indices` passed (it only tests argsort+slice, not
+   the downstream gather_elements). A standalone `test_gather_elements` with constant indices
+   also passed because constant indices are contiguous. The bug only manifested when runtime-
+   computed non-contiguous indices were used with data of a different size along the gather axis.
+
+4. **Fix**: In `parse_topk_node`, compute `gather_elements(x, full_argsort, axis)` with the
+   full [4,8] argsort result (same size as data), then slice the gathered values to [4,3].
+   This ensures gather_elements always operates on same-sized contiguous tensors.
+
+5. **General principle**: When building graph operations that chain shape-tracker views
+   (slice, transpose, etc.) into downstream HLIR ops on CUDA, prefer operating on full
+   contiguous tensors first and slicing the result afterward. Non-contiguous views flowing
+   through multiple CUDA kernels can trigger stride-related bugs in the egglog-compiled code.

+
+## 2026-03-07 — Non-deterministic CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS: Multiple Missing Rank Constraints
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_hf_llama_tiny` on CUDA failed ~70% of runs with `CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS`. Failures
+were non-deterministic due to egglog's `FxHashMap` iteration order in `random_initial_choice()`.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+**Multiple** matmul egglog rules lacked `(= (len ?out_shape) 2)` constraints:
+
+1. `TileMatmulSplitK` in `block/ops.rs` (disabled via comment but rule still registered)
+2. `TileMatmulFullSplit` in `block/ops.rs`
+3. All 4 `sgemm_v2_*.egg` rules in `host/cublas/`
+
+The `cublaslt_*.egg` rules already had the constraint. When egglog picked TileMatmul or sgemm
+for a 3D+ batched matmul, the generated CUDA kernels accessed out-of-bounds memory.
+
+Additionally, `KernelEmbed` in `kernel/hlir.rs` had an output indexing bug:
+`out[out_offset * embed_dim + embed_idx]` should be `out[out_offset + embed_idx]` because
+`out_offset` already includes the embed_dim factor from `flatten_strides`.
+
+**Most critically**, the KernelEmbed and RowEmbed "with cast" egglog rules passed the
+**pre-cast** float token_ids (`?token_ids`) to the embed kernel instead of the **post-cast**
+int token_ids (`?token_ids_cast`). The CUDA kernel reads token_ids as `const int*`, so float
+data gets reinterpreted as enormous garbage integers, causing out-of-bounds embed table access.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **Multiple independent bug sources**: The ~70% failure rate was caused by three separate bugs
+   (matmul rank, embed output indexing, embed pre-cast input). Each fix only reduced the rate
+   partially, making it seem like each fix was insufficient.
+2. **CudaGraph wrapping**: The crash occurred inside `CudaGraphOp::execute_internal` which
+   batches multiple kernels via CUDA graphs. The error just said "CudaGraph" — it
+   didn't identify which kernel crashed. Adding per-kernel debug launches was essential.
+3. **Cascading failures**: When the Megakernel (containing RowEmbed with the pre-cast bug)
+   corrupted the embed output, the NEXT CudaGraph group's kernels crashed reading the garbage.
+   This made the Megakernel appear to be the victim, not the source.
+4. **The pre-cast bug only crashes SOMETIMES**: Egglog's random choice determines whether
+   KernelEmbed/RowEmbed is selected (crash) or the generic Gather path is used (works).
+   Float token_id 1.0 (= 0x3F800000 = 1065353216 as int) produces an astronomically large
+   embed table index, causing ILLEGAL_ADDRESS.
+
+### The fix
+
+- Added `(= (len ?out_shape) 2)` to TileMatmulSplitK, TileMatmulFullSplit, and all 4 sgemm_v2 rules
+- Fixed KernelEmbed output indexing: `out[out_offset + embed_idx]`
+- **Fixed KernelEmbed/RowEmbed "with cast" rules**: Changed input from `?token_ids` to
+  `?token_ids_cast` — using the post-Cast int tensor instead of the pre-Cast float tensor
+
+### Results
+
+Failure rate: ~70% → 0% (20/20 passing). All three bugs needed to be fixed together.
+
+### General principle
+
+**When an egglog rule matches a sub-expression chain (like Cast→Mul→Add), be precise about
+which intermediate result becomes each input.** The "with cast" embed rules matched
+`Cast(?token_ids, ...)` to verify the Cast existed, but then passed `?token_ids` (the Cast
+INPUT) instead of `?token_ids_cast` (the Cast OUTPUT) to the embed kernel. The kernel expects
+int data, so the pre-cast float data was reinterpreted as garbage ints.
+
+**Always search for sibling implementations**: KernelEmbed (in `kernel/hlir.rs`) and RowEmbed
+(in `block/ops.rs`) had the SAME bug in their "with cast" rules. Fixing one without the other
+only reduces the failure rate — both must be fixed.

+
+## 2026-03-09 — TileMatmulFullSplit Matches Element-wise Square+Sum from LayerNorm
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_qwen_image_transformer_tiny` on CUDA produced NaN in specific output rows. The failure
+was non-deterministic (~85% failure rate) due to egglog's random e-class extraction picking
+TileMatmulFullSplit for some operations.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+The `TileMatmulFullSplit` rewrite rule in `block/ops.rs` matched any `Mul + Sum` pattern with
+a 2D output, contiguous K-strides, and F32 inputs. This correctly matched real matmuls, but
+ALSO matched the element-wise `x * x + Sum(last_dim)` pattern from LayerNorm/RMSNorm
+(Pow(x, 2) → ReduceMean).
+
+For a [1, 4, 64] activation tensor `x`:
+- `Mul(x, x)` shape: [1, 4, 64], strides: [256z, 64z, z] for both inputs
+- `Sum(dim=2)` output: [1, 4], len=2 ✓
+
+TileMatmulFullSplit interpreted this as a [1, 64] × [64, 4] → [1, 4] matmul with:
+- A = row 0 of x (64 elements), B = same buffer at column offsets
+
+The kernel computed `C[j] = sum_k x[k] * x[j*64+k]` (cross-products) instead of the correct
+`C[j] = sum_k x[j*64+k]^2` (squared sums). This produced subtly wrong values for j > 0
+(correct for j=0 since cross-product with self = squared sum). These wrong values propagated
+through LayerNorm → downstream operations → softmax → NaN.
+
+Key diagnostic: adding `printf` to the kernel showed `a_ptr == b_ptr` (same buffer for both
+inputs), confirming the kernel was operating on `x * x` not a real matmul.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **Individual op tests passed**: Simple Gemm tests, attention tests, and all other bisection
+   tests passed because they didn't have the specific `x*x → Sum` pattern.
+2. **Non-deterministic**: The bug only manifested when egglog selected TileMatmulFullSplit
+   over the kernel fallback for the square+sum operation.
+3. **No NaN from TileMatmulFullSplit itself**: The kernel produced wrong-but-finite values.
+   NaN only appeared downstream through softmax (exp(large) → ∞ → ∞/∞ = NaN).
+4. **Systematic elimination needed**: Had to disable all block ops, then enable one at a time,
+   to narrow down TileMatmulFullSplit as the culprit.
+
+### The fix
+
+Added matmul broadcast constraints to both `TileMatmulFullSplit` and `TileMatmulSplitK` rules:
+
+```egglog
+; Assert proper matmul broadcast pattern:
+; A is broadcast over N (a_n_stride = 0), B is broadcast over M (b_m_stride = 0)
+(= ?a_n_stride (MNum 0))
+(= ?b_m_stride (MNum 0))
+```
+
+In a real matmul `[M, K] × [K, N]`, the Mul is created by expanding dims:
+- A is broadcast over N → a_n_stride = 0
+- B is broadcast over M → b_m_stride = 0
+
+In element-wise `x * x`, both strides are identical (non-zero for all dims), so the
+constraints correctly reject it. The cuBLAS `.egg` rules already had these constraints.
+
+### General principle
+
+**Matmul Mul+Sum patterns have specific broadcast structure: one input is broadcast over M
+and the other over N.** When writing egglog rules that match `Mul + Sum` patterns for matmul
+optimization, always verify the broadcast pattern (`a_n_stride = 0` and `b_m_stride = 0`).
+This prevents matching element-wise operations like `x*x → sum` that happen to have a 2D
+output and contiguous strides.

+
+## 2026-03-09 — Conv3D Permute Axis Mismatch in ONNX Conv Parser
+
+### Symptom
+
+`test_qwen_image_vae_decoder_tiny` panicked with:
+> Permute axes (5) doesn't match shape axes (6)
+
+at `src/shape/tracker.rs:153`, during `parse_conv_node`.
+
+### Root cause
+
+The Conv parser's unfold → matmul algorithm used two consecutive permutes with incorrect
+index calculations. After unfold produces a 2N-dimensional tensor
+`[win_0..win_{N-1}, k_0..k_{N-1}]`, the first permute swapped kernel dims to the front.
+But the second permute's index math still assumed the original (pre-first-permute) ordering,
+confusing kernel dimensions with window dimensions. Additionally:
+
+1. `output_spatial_dims` was captured from wrong indices (kernel dims instead of window
+   spatial dims)
+2. The `split_dims` loop iterated `spatial` times instead of `spatial-1`, creating a
+   spurious size-1 dimension
+3. The final permute array had `1+spatial` elements for a tensor with `2+spatial` dims
+
+For Conv2D (spatial=2) this was never caught because the xfail'd VAE decoder test was the
+only test exercising the Conv parser — the transformer tests don't use Conv ONNX nodes.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+The Conv parser was written and the VAE test immediately xfail'd due to a *different* bug
+(`merge_dims` being `todo!()`). Once `merge_dims` was implemented, the Conv parser's own
+bugs surfaced for the first time.
+
+### Fix
+
+Rewrote the unfold → matmul section with a single correct permute:
+
+1. **One permute** to `[N, win_spatial..., C_in, k_batch, k_chan, k_spatial...]`
+   — groups batch | output spatial | channel+kernel
+2. **Capture** `output_spatial_dims` from correct indices `[1..1+spatial]`
+3. **Merge** all channel+kernel dims from the end into one
+4. **Merge** spatial dims into one → `[N, spatial_product, C_in*kernel_product]`
+5. **Matmul** → `[N, spatial_product, C_out]`
+6. **Split** spatial back with `spatial-1` splits (not `spatial`)
+7. **Permute** C_out to position 1 with correct `2+spatial` element array
+
+### General principle
+
+**When chaining permutes on high-dimensional tensors, prefer a single combined permute.**
+Multiple permutes with hand-computed index arrays are error-prone because each permute
+redefines what indices mean. A single permute from the original layout to the target layout
+is easier to verify and less likely to confuse source/destination ordering. Also, ensure
+`split_dims` loop counts match: splitting N dims out of a product requires N-1 splits
+(the outermost dim is the quotient, not split out separately).

+
+## 2026-03-18 — CUDA Search Rejects All Candidates: Zero Dummy Data Causes NaN for Div/Pow/Mod/Erf
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+6 CUDA tests (`test_pow`, `test_pow_broadcast`, `test_div`, `test_mod`, `test_mod_broadcast`,
+`test_erf`) consistently failed with `Failed to find a viable initial genome for group 0 after
+100 attempts`. All 6 passed on native backend.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+The CUDA two-phase initialization in `build_cuda_backend` set ALL input tensor buffers to
+`0.0f32` as dummy data for profiling. When `torch.compile` decomposes a model, it passes
+model weights as additional ONNX graph inputs (not initializers). Since there were no ONNX
+initializers to overwrite the zeros, weight buffers stayed all-zero during search.
+
+Operations with zero inputs produced NaN:
+- `fmod(0, 0) = NaN` (Mod test)
+- `weight * recip(0) = weight * inf` → with any zero weight → `0 * inf = NaN` (Div test)
+- `abs(0).log() = log(0) = -inf` → downstream NaN (Pow test)
+- `sign(0)` chain → operations on zero inputs (Erf test)
+
+The `has_nan_outputs` check rejected every candidate genome, exhausting all 100 attempts.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **No panic, no crash — silent NaN rejection**: The error message said "Failed to find a
+   viable initial genome" which suggested an egglog rewrite issue, not a data issue.
+2. **Works on native**: `NativeRuntime::has_nan_outputs()` returns `false` by default (no NaN
+   check), so zero inputs never caused problems on native.
+3. **torch.compile vs direct export difference**: Directly exporting a model via
+   `torch.onnx.export(model, ...)` produces initializers. But `torch.compile`'s backend
+   receives a `GraphModule` where weights are graph inputs, not initializers. The ONNX file
+   from `torch.compile` has 0 initializers.
+4. **CudaRuntime's own `allocate_dummy_input` already uses 1.0**: The runtime knew zeros
+   were problematic (comment: "Zero inputs often hide numerical issues"), but the
+   `compiled_graph.rs` code used `0.0f32` independently.
+
+### The fix
+
+Changed dummy data from `vec![0.0f32; n_elements]` to `vec![1.0f32; n_elements]` in
+`build_cuda_backend`. Using 1.0 is numerically safe: `fmod(1,1)=0`, `recip(1)=1`,
+`log(1)=0`, `exp(1)≈2.7` — no NaN or inf. Profiling timing is unaffected (same number
+of FLOPs and memory accesses).
+
+### General principle
+
+**Use small non-zero values (1.0) for dummy profiling data, never zeros.** Zero is a
+singularity for many floating-point operations (division, log, fmod with zero divisor).
+The CUDA runtime's `allocate_dummy_input` already followed this principle — the ONNX
+pipeline's `build_cuda_backend` was inconsistent. When creating dummy data for GPU
+profiling, always match the runtime's safer default.

+
+## 2026-03-18 — Dynamic Decode Loop Fails: HLIR Weight Buffers Consumed After First Execute
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_hf_llama3_1b_decode_loop_dynamic` passed step 0 (seq_len=6) but panicked on step 1
+(seq_len=7) with `no entry found for key` at `cublaslt/mod.rs:294` — the CuBlasLt op couldn't
+find its weight input buffer.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+**Two bugs:**
+
+1. **Missing `)` in egglog rule** (`luminal_cuda_lite/src/kernel/hlir.rs:3042`): The fourth
+   KernelEmbed rule ("kernel embed with mul reversed") had 3 closing parens after `INil` instead
+   of 4. The missing `)` failed to close the `(= ?mul_result ...)` form. This caused an egglog
+   parse error during search, caught by `catch_unwind`. The rule was dead code — it never fired,
+   but the parse error consumed a search iteration.
+
+2. **HLIR buffer consumption killed weight buffers** (`luminal_cuda_lite/src/runtime.rs:1010-1057`):
+   After each `execute()`, the runtime removed all HLIR buffers (weights, constants) except those
+   directly connected to Output nodes. This was intended to free one-shot input data, but it also
+   deleted all 168 weight buffers. On the next `graph.run()`, CuBlasLt couldn't find any of its
+   weight inputs — `hlir_buffers` had 1 entry (the just-set `input_ids`) instead of 169.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+1. **Misdirection by the egglog syntax error**: The plan identified the missing `)` as THE cause.
+   Fixing it allowed the rule to parse correctly, but the real runtime failure was independent.
+2. **Step 0 always succeeds**: The weight consumption happens AFTER a successful execution. So
+   the first `graph.run()` works perfectly — all 169 HLIR buffers exist. The panic only occurs
+   on the second call, after consumption has cleared 168 of them.
+3. **The consumption code was deliberately designed**: Comments said "weight tensors must have
+   `.persist()` to survive." The ONNX pipeline didn't call `.persist()` on weights, but this
+   had never been a problem before because single-shot inference only calls `execute()` once.
+4. **Search phase panics masked by `catch_unwind`**: The same "no entry found for key" error
+   occurred during profiling of search candidates, but was silently caught. This made it look
+   like only certain LLIR variants had the issue, not all of them.
+5. **Debug output needed 4 iterations to find**: The first debug showed which NodeIndex was
+   missing, the second showed it was an Input node, the third showed the HLIR mapping, and
+   the fourth revealed `hlir_buffers_count` dropping from 169 to 1 between steps.
+
+### The fix
+
+1. Added missing `)` to the KernelEmbed egglog rule at `hlir.rs:3042`.
+2. In `compiled_graph.rs`, added `.persist()` calls on all weight/constant tensors (anything
+   not in `input_names`) after `process_onnx_nodes` completes. `.persist()` creates an Output
+   node connected to the Input, which the consumption code recognizes as "do not consume."
+   User inputs (like `input_ids`) are intentionally NOT persisted — they are consumed after
+   each `execute()` and re-set via `set_input()` before the next call.
+
+### General principle
+
+**Mark weight/constant tensors as persistent in the graph-building pipeline.** The runtime's
+`execute()` consumes all HLIR buffers not connected to Output nodes. This is correct behavior
+for one-shot user inputs, but weights must survive across calls. Always call `.persist()` on
+tensors that should outlive a single execution. In the ONNX pipeline, the distinction is clear:
+`input_names` (user-provided data per step) vs everything else (weights/constants loaded once).
+

+
+## 2026-03-20 — PT2 CUDA Search Rejects All Candidates: Integer Buffers Misinterpreted as Float NaN
+
+### What the symptom was
+
+`test_hf_llama_tiny` on CUDA via PT2 failed with:
+`pyo3_runtime.PanicException: Failed to find a viable initial genome for group 0 after 100 attempts`
+
+The search tried 100 different egglog rewrites and ALL were rejected by the `has_nan_outputs` check.
+
+### What the actual root cause was
+
+**Two issues, both required to fix:**
+
+1. **Integer buffers misinterpreted as float in NaN check.** `has_nan_outputs` in
+   `luminal_cuda_lite/src/runtime.rs` checks ALL `self.buffers` by reinterpreting raw bytes
+   as `f32` and calling `is_nan()`. The PT2-translated graph has integer intermediate
+   buffers (from `arange`, `cast(Int)`, integer arithmetic for embedding index computation).
+   Certain valid `i32` bit patterns (e.g., large integers from `token_id * hidden_dim`)
+   have exponent=0xFF and non-zero mantissa when reinterpreted as f32 — matching the
+   IEEE 754 NaN pattern. This caused false NaN rejections for EVERY candidate genome.
+
+2. **Real weights/constants loaded before search contain -inf.** The PT2 path loaded real
+   safetensors weights and model constants (including the causal attention mask with `-inf`
+   values) BEFORE the search. While the ONNX path also loads real initializer data before
+   search, the PT2 graph's different structure (more explicit integer operations) made the
+   integer NaN false-positive the blocking issue.
+
+### Why it was hard to find
+
+- The original plan diagnosed this as the same zero-dummy-data bug fixed on 2026-03-18.
+  Changing `0.0` to `1.0` was insufficient because the root cause was different.
+- `has_nan_outputs` checking ALL intermediate buffers (not just outputs) masked the real
+  issue — the NaN was in integer index-computation buffers, not in the model's float outputs.
+- The ONNX-translated graph didn't have this problem because it doesn't produce as many
+  integer intermediate buffers (ONNX embedding uses different ops).
+- The NaN pattern was identical across all 100 search attempts, which was the key clue:
+  it was deterministic and independent of egglog rewrite choices, pointing to input data
+  or buffer interpretation rather than graph optimization issues.
+
+### The fix
+
+Four changes:
+
+1. **`luminal_cuda_lite/src/kernel/mod.rs`** (`KernelOp` trait): Added `output_dtype()`
+   method with default `DType::F32`. Each kernel now reports its actual output dtype.
+
+2. **`luminal_cuda_lite/src/kernel/hlir.rs`** and **`other_ops.rs`**: Overrode
+   `output_dtype()` in all kernels with a `dtype` field (returns `self.dtype`), plus
+   special cases: `KernelIota` → `DType::Int`, `KernelLessThan` → `DType::Bool`,
+   `KernelCast` → `self.out_dtype`.
+
+3. **`luminal_cuda_lite/src/runtime.rs`** (`has_nan_outputs`): Replaced fragile
+   `format!("{:?}").contains("dtype: Int")` string matching with proper
+   `op.to_dialect::<dyn KernelOp>().output_dtype()` check. Only F32 buffers are
+   checked for NaN; integer and bool buffers are skipped.
+
+4. **`rust/src/pt2_compiled_model.rs`** (`init_cuda_runtime`): Set ALL input nodes
+   (weights, constants, user inputs) to `vec![1.0f32; n_elements]` before search via
+   new `set_all_inputs_dummy_cuda` function, then reload real data after search.
+   This prevents any -inf values from the causal mask from polluting intermediate
+   float computations during profiling.
+
+### General principle
+
+**Never reinterpret integer buffer bytes as float for NaN checking.** When a graph has
+mixed-dtype operations (float model computation + integer index computation), raw byte
+buffers from integer kernels contain valid i32 values that look like NaN when cast to f32.
+The search's `has_nan_outputs` must be dtype-aware — use the kernel's `output_dtype()`
+method rather than string-matching on Debug output. Additionally, when diagnosing "all
+candidates rejected" during search, check whether the rejection is from actual float NaN
+or from dtype misinterpretation — the key diagnostic is whether the NaN pattern is
+identical across all attempts (dtype issue) vs varying (actual numerical issue).
+
+## 2026-03-25 — KernelExp/KernelSigmoid: Fused CUDA Kernels for Precision
+
+1. **Symptom**: `test_hf_llama3_full` (16-layer Llama-3.2-1B) had ~1e-4 max diff vs PyTorch.
+2. **Root cause**: `exp(x)` was computed as `exp2(x * 1.442695)` — the constant truncated by `{:.6}` format + extra multiply adds rounding. Sigmoid was 5 separate kernels. SumReduce had naive accumulation.
+3. **Why hard**: Per-operation error was ~1e-7 but compounded over 16 layers × ~25 extra materializations. The egglog `Exp` rewrite depends on exact constant format matching.
+4. **Fix**: Added `KernelExp` (uses `expf()`), `KernelSigmoid` (uses `1/(1+expf(-x))`), and Kahan summation in SumReduce. Each uses both `kernel_rewrite` and a direct egglog pattern match with range checks (e.g., `(> ?val 1.44) (< ?val 1.45)`) to bypass constant format dependency.
+5. **Principle**: When decomposed CUDA kernel chains cause precision loss, add fused kernels via `kernel_rewrite`. For robustness, add BOTH the logical-op rewrite path AND a direct HLIR pattern match — the constant format in egglog can be fragile.
