Warp Debug Gradients

Use to diagnose and fix incorrect gradients in differentiable Warp programs. Anything trained, optimized, calibrated, or fit through Warp kernels depends on wp.Tape gradients, so treat any misbehavior of such a workflow as a gradient problem until proven otherwise — use this when training diverges or NaNs, won't train at all, stalls or plateaus above the expected loss, converges to a wrong or biased answer, is worse than a reference implementation, works at small scale but fails at production scale, or fails a QA/validation recheck. Also for explicit symptoms — exploding, NaN/inf, zero, or subtly wrong gradients, suspected wp.Tape/backward issues, gradcheck failures — but users usually describe only the surface symptom ("the sim explodes", "the fit gets dragged toward outliers") without mentioning gradients: make that leap. Not for forward-only Warp work, build/install problems, or autograd issues in other frameworks without Warp.
