//! F16 Safety Constants and Helpers
//!
//! Centralized location for f16 (half-precision float) safety handling.
//! Prevents GH-186 class bugs where NaN/Inf/subnormal f16 values propagate
//! through dequantization and corrupt model weights.
//!
//! # IEEE 754 Half-Precision (f16) Overview
//!
//! ```text
//! Normal range:      [6.1e-5, 65504]  (positive) or [-65504, -6.1e-5] (negative)
//! Subnormal range:   (0, 6.1e-5)      (positive) or (-6.1e-5, 0) (negative)
//! Special values:    ±0, ±Inf, NaN
//! ```
//!
//! The smallest positive NORMAL f16 is 2^-14 ≈ 6.103515625e-5.
//! Subnormals (denormalized numbers) are smaller but lose precision.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use aprender::format::f16_safety::{F16_MIN_NORMAL, safe_f16_scale};
//!
//! // Clamp a scale factor read from GGUF/APR quantized weights
//! let raw_scale = f16_to_f32(scale_bits);
//! let safe_scale = safe_f16_scale(raw_scale);
//! ```

/// Minimum positive normal f16 value: 2^(-14) ≈ 6.1e-5
///
/// Values below this threshold are either:
/// - Subnormal (lose precision, may underflow)
/// - Zero (safe, preserved)
///
/// Used to clamp scale factors in GGUF/APR quantization to prevent NaN propagation.
///
/// # IEEE 754 Reference
///
/// The exact value is 2^(-14) = 0.00006103515625, but we use 6.1e-5 as a
/// conservative threshold that accounts for floating-point representation errors.
///
/// # GH-186 Context
///
/// This constant was introduced to fix GH-186 where malformed f16 scale factors
/// in GGUF files caused NaN propagation through dequantization, corrupting
/// model weights on round-trip conversion.
pub const F16_MIN_NORMAL: f32 = 6.1e-5;

///
/// This is the IEEE 754 half-precision representation of 2^(-14).
/// Bit pattern: sign=0, exponent=00001 (biased 1), mantissa=0000000000
///
/// Used for boundary testing of f16 handling.

///
/// PMAT-238 FIX: Subnormal f16 values are now PRESERVED. They represent
/// valid scale factors for quantized blocks with very small weights.
/// The previous behavior (clamping subnormals to 0.0) caused Q6_K
/// dequantization to produce 99.7% zeros, triggering false positive
/// contract violations in `apr validate --quality`.

/// let scale_bits: u16 = read_u16_le(data);
/// let scale_raw = f16_to_f32(scale_bits);
/// let scale = safe_f16_scale(scale_raw);  // Safe to use in multiplication
