//! Control-flow higher-order primitives: [`cond`] and [`scan`].
//!
//! These are the `torch.cond` and `torch.scan` equivalents, providing
//! differentiable conditional execution and sequential scanning with
//! autograd support.
//!
//! # `cond`
//!
//! Executes one of two branches based on a boolean predicate. Both
//! branches must return tensors of the same shape and dtype. The
//! backward pass re-evaluates the chosen branch.
//!
//! Note: branch output shape/dtype validation is not performed
//! automatically. Call [`validate_cond_branches`] separately if you
//! need this check.
//!
//! # `scan`
//!
//! Applies a step function sequentially over a sequence of tensors,
//! threading a carry state through each step (like a fold that also
//! collects intermediate outputs). The backward pass reverses through
//! each step using saved intermediates.
