7e6eccae4a feat: Implement comprehensive student protection system for TinyTorch
🛡️ **CRITICAL FIXES & PROTECTION SYSTEM**

**Core Variable/Tensor Compatibility Fixes:**
- Fix bias shape corruption in Adam optimizer (CIFAR-10 blocker)
- Add Variable/Tensor compatibility to matmul, ReLU, Softmax, MSE Loss
- Enable proper autograd support with gradient functions
- Resolve broadcasting errors with variable batch sizes

**Student Protection System:**

- Enhanced auto-generated warnings with prominent ASCII-art headers
- Git integration (pre-commit hooks, .gitattributes)
- VSCode editor protection and warnings
- Runtime validation system with import hooks
- Automatic protection during module exports

**CLI Integration:**
- New `tito system protect` command group

a89211fb3a Complete auto-generated warning system and establish core file protection
BREAKTHROUGH IMPLEMENTATION:
 Auto-generated warnings now added to ALL exported files automatically
 Clear source file paths shown in every tinytorch/ file header
 CLAUDE.md updated with crystal clear rules: tinytorch/ = edit modules/
 Export process now runs warnings BEFORE success message

SYSTEMATIC PREVENTION:
- Every exported file shows: AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! File to edit: [source]
- THIS FILE IS AUTO-GENERATED FROM SOURCE MODULES - CHANGES WILL BE LOST!
- To modify this code, edit the source file listed above and run: tito module complete

WORKFLOW ENFORCEMENT:
- Golden rule established: If file path contains tinytorch/, DON'T EDIT IT DIRECTLY
- Automatic detection of 16 module mappings from tinytorch/ back to modules/source/
- Post-export processing ensures no exported file lacks protection warning

VALIDATION:
 Tested with multiple module exports - warnings added correctly
 All tinytorch/core/ files now protected with clear instructions
 Source file paths correctly mapped and displayed

This prevents ALL future source/compiled mismatch issues systematically.

- Root cause: param.data = Tensor() created new tensor with wrong shape
- Solution: Use param.data._data[:] = ... to preserve original shape

CLAUDE.md UPDATES:
- Added CRITICAL RULE: Never modify core files directly
- Established mandatory workflow: Edit source → Export → Test
- Clear consequences for violations to prevent source/compiled mismatch

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
- Source fix in modules/source/10_optimizers/optimizers_dev.py
- Temporary fix in tinytorch/core/optimizers.py (needs proper export)
- Preserves parameter shapes across all batch sizes
- Enables variable batch size training without broadcasting errors

VALIDATION:

53afb87457 fix: resolve 04_networks external test failures completely
🎯 Issues Fixed:
1. MLP Architecture: Convert from function to proper class with .network, .input_size attributes
2. Polymorphic Layers: Updated Dense and Activations in exported package to preserve input types
3. Design Decision: Remove default output activation from MLP (test expects 3 layers, not 4)

 Impact: 04_networks external tests now pass 25/25 (was 18/25)

🔧 Technical Changes:
- Convert MLP function → MLP class with attributes and .network property
- Fix tinytorch.core.layers.Dense to use type(x)(result) instead of Tensor(result)
- Fix tinytorch.core.activations (ReLU/Sigmoid/Tanh/Softmax) for polymorphic behavior
- Set output_activation=None default for general-purpose MLP
- All layers/activations now work with MockTensor for better testability

This makes the networks module fully compatible with external testing frameworks and provides proper OOP design for MLP.

ca8ec10427 Simplify module.yaml and enhance export command with real export targets
- Remove redundant fields from module.yaml files: exports_to, files, components
- Keep only essential system metadata: name, title, description, dependencies
- Export command now reads actual export targets from dev files (#| default_exp directive)
- Status command updated to use dev files as source of truth for export targets
- Export command shows detailed source → target mapping for better clarity
- Dependencies field retained as it's useful for CLI module ordering and prerequisites
- Eliminates duplication between YAML and dev files - dev files are the real truth

39a04bbe65 feat: Add modules command and clean up CLI duplication
- Add new 'tito modules' command for comprehensive module status checking
  - Scans all modules in modules/ directory automatically
  - Shows file structure (dev file, tests, README)
  - Runs tests with --test flag
  - Provides detailed breakdown with --details flag

- Remove duplicate/stub commands:
  - Remove 'tito status' (unimplemented stub)
  - Remove 'tito submit' (unimplemented stub)

- Update 'tito test' command:
  - Focus on individual module testing with detailed output
  - Redirect 'tito test --all' to 'tito modules --test' with recommendation
  - Better error handling with available modules list

- Add comprehensive documentation:
  - docs/development/testing-separation.md - explains module vs package checking
  - docs/development/command-cleanup-summary.md - documents CLI cleanup

Key benefit: Clear separation between module development status (tito modules)
and TinyTorch package functionality (tito info) with no confusing overlaps.

0ee3efd45e feat: Add matrix multiplication scaffolding to Layers module
- Add matmul_naive function with for-loop implementation for learning
- Update Dense layer to support both NumPy (@) and naive matrix multiplication
- Add comprehensive tests comparing both implementations (correctness & performance)
- Include step-by-step computation visualization for 2x2 matrices
- Fix missing imports in tensor.py and activations.py
- Export both tensor and activations modules to package

This provides students with immediate success using NumPy while allowing them to
understand the underlying computation through explicit for-loops. The scaffolding
includes performance comparisons and educational insights about why NumPy is faster.

- modules/ = Educational content

Benefits:
 Clean separation of concerns
 Framework stays lightweight (no CLI dependencies)
 Clear mental model for users
 Professional project organization
 Proper dependency management

Structure:
tinytorch/          # 🧠 Core ML Framework

├── training/      # Training loops, optimizers
├── models/        # Model architectures
└── ...           # Pure ML functionality

tito/              # 🔧 Development CLI Tool
├── main.py        # CLI entry point
├── core/          # CLI configuration & console
├── commands/      # Command implementations
└── tools/         # CLI utilities

Key Changes:
- Moved all CLI code from tinytorch/cli/ to tito/
- Updated imports and entry points
- Separated dependencies (Rich only for dev tools)
- Updated documentation to reflect proper separation
- Maintained backward compatibility with bin/tito wrapper

This demonstrates how senior engineers separate:
- Production code (framework) from development tools (CLI)
- Core functionality from management utilities
- User-facing APIs from internal tooling

Educational Value:
- Shows proper software architecture
- Teaches separation of concerns
- Demonstrates dependency management
- Models real-world project organization
