Specification

Normative specifications — source of truth for trait signatures, op semantics, and backend contracts. Each fact has exactly one owner document. Other documents link here rather than re-stating.

Document Owns
primitive-catalog.md Tenferro IR op vocabulary, per-op semantics, StableHLO lowering rules
backend-contract.md Backend pipeline, Execution IR dispatch, backend trait signatures
ad-contract.md PrimitiveOp trait signature, linearize/transpose_rule requirements
optimizer-passes.md Optimization pass algorithms and ordering
tensor-semantics.md Tensor type semantics, stride model, contiguity rules
