/// Leaky ReLU (Leaky Rectified Linear Unit) activation layer
///
/// Applies `f(x) = x` for `x >= 0`, and `f(x) = negative_slope * x` below 0. The transform is
/// elementwise and keeps the original shape. Common inputs include 2D tensors for dense layers
/// and 4D tensors for convolutional layers
///
/// Unlike [`Activation::ReLU`], the negative side keeps a non-zero gradient. A unit whose
/// pre-activation stays negative for the whole batch still receives gradient, so it can
/// recover. This is the standard answer to the dead-unit failure mode of ReLU
///
/// [`Activation::LeakyReLU`] provides the activation math. This layer only adds boundary
/// validation and the caching needed for backpropagation
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// use rustyml::neural_network::sequential::Sequential;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::layers::activation::leaky_relu::LeakyReLU;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::optimizers::*;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::losses::MeanSquaredError;
/// use ndarray::Array2;
///
/// // Create a 2D input tensor
/// let x = Array2::from_shape_vec((2, 3), vec![-1.0, 2.0, -3.0, 4.0, -5.0, 6.0])
///     .unwrap()
///     .into_dyn();
///
/// // Build a model with Leaky ReLU activation
/// let mut model = Sequential::new();
/// model
///     .add(LeakyReLU::new(0.3).unwrap())
///     .compile(SGD::new(0.01, 0.0, false, 0.0).unwrap(), MeanSquaredError::new());
///
/// // Forward propagation
/// let output = model.predict(&x);
///
/// // Output will be: [[-0.3, 2.0, -0.9], [4.0, -1.5, 6.0]]
/// ```
