//! The analysis IR.
//!
//! Two layers, deliberately separated: a *structure* layer, which is what this milestone
//! builds, and a *dataflow* layer, which will hang off the same arenas later.
//!
//! Four splits keep the two compatible, and all four exist because collapsing them is
//! expensive to undo:
//!
//! * [`ModuleDef`] (a Rust type) vs [`ModuleInstance`] (that type built at one `VarBuilder`
//!   prefix). One `SelfAttention` def yields 28 instances in a 28-layer model.
//! * [`ParamSite`] (a `vb.get`/constructor call in source) vs [`Param`] (the tensor that call
//!   produces at one instance). One site under a loop yields many parameters.
//! * Struct containment vs prefix nesting. They usually agree and are not required to: a
//!   constructor may re-prefix with `vb.root()` or hand a sibling's builder down.
//! * A parameter's logical identity vs its storage identity. Tied weights make these differ.
//!
//! The dataflow layer will reference [`ParamId`] and [`ModuleInstanceId`] directly rather than
//! rediscovering parameters by string, which is why paths are never the primary key.
