Summary

  • Canonicalize generated InCore output contracts where the callee and caller are created together, instead of rewriting arbitrary callers later in NormalizeReturnOrder.
  • Trace all outlined outputs with one body index. Follow aliases, tensor loop carries, writeback calls, and tensor IfStmt merges; an IfStmt maps only when every branch reaches the same captured parameter.
  • Order return expressions, return types, output bindings, and caller projections together by the generated function parameter order filtered to Out/InOut.
  • Fall back to the original whole-contract order when any result is fresh, scalar, ambiguous, untraceable, or duplicates another returned parameter.
  • Remove an empty synthetic else after all dead phi yields are pruned, and document/test the boundary contract in English and Chinese.

Why

Issue #2392 has captured output parameters in b, a order, but ConvertToSSA deterministically emits the internal IfStmt phi values in lexical a, b order. The outliner previously let that internal definition order become the generated return ABI. Orchestration then projected those results back onto the loop carries positionally and produced a cross-wire such as a = b; b = a.

The output ABI now has one owner: ScopeOutliner, which creates both the outlined function and its call site. Internal SSA order may remain a, b; the generated boundary is synchronized once in captured Out/InOut parameter order.

Scope

The refactor reduces the PR from 17 changed files and 1,455 insertions to 9 changed files and 538 insertions. Most additions are focused regression tests. The broad whole-program caller permutation and its public pass/API documentation changes were removed.

Tests

  • cmake --build build --parallel 2
  • Directly affected transform/codegen suites: 201 passed
  • Full non-runtime unit suite on the rebased head: 9,934 passed, 8 skipped, 3 xfailed
  • Pre-commit hooks passed, including clang-format, cpplint, Ruff, Pyright, Markdown and EN/ZH parity checks
  • Complete GitHub CI and Docs matrices passed, including model, distributed, system, codegen, examples, unit, pre-commit, and clang-tidy jobs
  • Runtime-only local tests cannot import the machine-local stale _task_interface.so because it lacks MAILBOX_FRAME_SIZE; this existing Simpler ABI mismatch is unrelated to the patch and is already documented in KNOWN_ISSUES.md

Fixes #2392

Changes

Outlined tensor writeback flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Return lineage tracing
include/pypto/ir/transforms/utils/return_lineage_utils.h, src/ir/transforms/utils/return_lineage_utils.cpp
Adds batch parameter-index tracing and optional tensor IfStmt merge resolution.
InCore output canonicalization
src/ir/transforms/utils/scope_outline_utils.cpp, tests/ut/ir/transforms/test_outline_incore_scopes.py, docs/*/dev/passes/08-outline_incore_scopes.md
Reorders unambiguous Out and InOut returns by captured parameter order. Tests cover conflicting, fresh, multiple-store, and scratch outputs.
Synthetic else cleanup
src/ir/transforms/utils/dead_code_elimination.cpp, tests/ut/ir/transforms/test_simplify_pass.py
Removes empty synthesized else branches after dead phi values are pruned.
Loop-carried output validation
tests/ut/codegen/test_orchestration_tensor_rw.py
Checks that independent loop-carried tensor handles retain their types, ordering, and identity without cross-wiring.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fd9fc

The PR synchronizes generated output ordering to preserve loop-carried handle identity, reducing the risk of incorrect tensor writebacks. It is mergeable with owner follow-up for the remaining documentation gap: ReturnParamsExplicit should be added to both property catalogs; this does not create a runtime correctness or security risk.

Poem

A rabbit traced each tensor thread,
Through merged branches where paths spread.
Out parameters now line up right,
While loop-carried handles stay in flight.
Dead empty branches fade from sight.

610-640: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert program immutability in the remaining Step B safety tests.

test_tuple_alias_is_rejected_before_callee_permutation captures a snapshot and asserts Before is unchanged after the raise. The other three safety tests only assert the exception, yet their docstrings state that rejection happens "before reordering" and "before callee permutation". A partial rewrite that raises late would still pass those three tests.

Add the same snapshot assertion to test_incore_caller_is_rejected_with_actionable_hint, test_if_phi_tuple_flow_is_rejected_before_callee_permutation, and test_group_whole_tuple_forward_is_rejected_before_reorder.

♻️ Example for the Group forwarding case
+        snapshot = pl.parse_program(Before.as_python())
         with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="used as a whole tuple"):
             _run_normalize(Before)
+        ir.assert_structural_equal(Before, snapshot)
