2. Flatten Function: Made polymorphic to return same type as input tensor
3. Type Signatures: Updated method signatures to be flexible (remove Tensor type annotations)
✅ Impact: 05_cnn external tests now pass 35/35 (was 31/35)
🔧 Technical Changes:
- Conv2D.forward(): return type(x)(result) instead of Tensor(result)
- flatten(): return type(x)(result) instead of Tensor(result)

This resolves the MockTensor vs Tensor compatibility issues, making CNN components work with external testing frameworks.
🎯 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.
🔧 Issues Fixed:
1. MockTensor compatibility: Activations now return same type as input (polymorphic)
2. Empty input handling: Softmax gracefully handles zero-size arrays
✅ Impact: 02_activations external tests now pass 34/34 (was 32/34)
🎯 Technical Changes:
- Changed activation signatures from Tensor -> Tensor to flexible types
- Use type(x)(result) instead of hardcoded Tensor(result)
- Added empty input guard in Softmax: if x.data.size == 0: return type(x)(x.data.copy())
- Applied consistent pattern across ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh, Softmax
This makes activations more robust and testable without tight coupling to Tensor implementation.
