//! Automatic Jacobian sparsity-pattern detection for stiff ODE solvers.
//!
//! # Algorithm
//!
//! Detection evaluates the dense Jacobian via autograd at the initial state
//! (and, optionally, at a perturbed state) then extracts the structural nonzero
//! pattern by thresholding absolute values.  A two-point probe guards against
//! accidental cancellation at a single evaluation point:
//!
//! 1. Compute `J₀ = ∂f/∂y` at `(t₀, y₀)`.
//! 2. Compute `J₁ = ∂f/∂y` at `(t₀, y₀ + ε · |y₀| + ε)`.
//! 3. Entry `(i, j)` is structurally nonzero iff `|J₀[i,j]| > τ` **or**
//!    `|J₁[i,j]| > τ`, where `τ = 1e-14` (near machine epsilon).
//! 4. The merged boolean mask is transferred to the host *once* to build the
//!    CSR index arrays, then immediately moved back to the device as a
//!    `CsrData<R>` with unit values (so the pattern can be reused across Newton
//!    steps without any further transfers).
//!
//! # Cost
//!
//! Two full Jacobian evaluations — identical cost to the first two Jacobian
//! updates the solver would perform anyway — plus one host transfer of an `n×n`
//! boolean mask.  This is acceptable as a one-time setup step.
//!
//! # GPU↔CPU Transfer Policy
//!
//! The *only* host transfer in this module is reading the merged `n×n` float
//! mask **once** to build the CSR index arrays.  All per-Newton-step operations
//! remain on device.

/// * `client`  – Runtime client (owns device, tensor ops, autograd).

/// * `t0`      – Initial time as a device-resident scalar tensor of shape `[1]`.
/// * `y0`      – Initial state as a device-resident 1-D tensor of length `n`.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// A `CsrData<R>` of shape `[n, n]` encoding the sparsity pattern.
///
/// # Errors
///
/// Returns an error if Jacobian evaluation fails or the resulting pattern
/// is empty (which would indicate the ODE is trivially zero everywhere).
