Regenerate _modidx.py after transformer module path change

- Added create_causal_mask() helper function to src/13_transformers
- Updated tinytorch/__init__.py to import from core.transformer
- Deleted stale tinytorch/models/transformer.py (now in core/)
- Updated TinyTalks to use the new import path

The create_causal_mask function is essential for autoregressive
generation - it ensures each position only attends to past tokens.

-# Development Workflow Rules
-
-## Branch-First Development
-- **Always create a branch** for any work - never work directly on main
-- **Branch naming**: `feature/description`, `fix/issue`, `refactor/component`
-- **Remind user** to create branches if they forget
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: TinyTorch Development Workflow
-
-### The Golden Rule: Source → Export → Use
-
-```
-modules/     →     tito export     →     tinytorch/     →     milestones/
-  (EDIT HERE!)          (BUILD STEP)         (NEVER EDIT!)       (USE IT!)
-```
-
-### Three Sacred Principles
-
-1. **ONLY edit files in `modules/`** - This is your source of truth
-2. **ALWAYS use `tito export`** to build the `tinytorch/` package
-3. **NEVER modify anything in `tinytorch/` directly** - It's generated code!
-
-### Why This Matters
-
-- **`modules/`**: Educational module sources (Python `.py` files)
-- **`tinytorch/`**: Generated package (like `node_modules/` or `dist/`)
-- **`milestones/`**: Student projects that import from `tinytorch`
-
-**If you edit `tinytorch/` directly, your changes will be LOST on next export!**
-
-### Complete Development Workflow
-
-```bash
-# 1. Edit the module source (ONLY place to make changes)
-vim modules/12_attention/attention.py
-
-# 2. Export to tinytorch package (Build step)
-tito export
-
-# 3. Test the exported module
-pytest tests/12_attention/
-
-# 4. Use in milestones
-cd milestones/05_2017_transformer/
-python tinytalks_dashboard.py  # Uses tinytorch.core.attention
-```
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: Notebook Development Workflow
-**NEVER EDIT .ipynb FILES DIRECTLY**
-
-TinyTorch uses a literate programming approach with nbdev:
-
-1. **Edit ONLY `.py` files** in `modules/*/`
-2. **Export to tinytorch** using `tito export`
-3. **Run tests** with `pytest` to verify changes
-4. **Never manually edit .ipynb files** - they are generated artifacts
-5. **Never manually edit tinytorch/** - it's generated from modules/
-
-### Why This Matters
-- `.ipynb` files are JSON and hard to merge/review
-- `.py` files are the **source of truth**
-- `tinytorch/` is **generated code** (like compiled binaries)
-- nbdev ensures proper sync between code, tests, and documentation
-- Manual .ipynb edits will be overwritten on next export
-- Manual tinytorch/ edits will be overwritten on next export
-
-### Correct Workflow Example
-```bash
-# 1. Edit the Python source
-vim modules/12_attention/attention.py
-
-# 2. Export to tinytorch package
-tito export
-
-# 3. Run tests
-pytest tests/12_attention/
-
-# 4. If tests pass, commit source changes
-git add modules/12_attention/attention.py
-git commit -m "fix(attention): Handle 3D attention masks"
-```
-
-## Work Process
-1. **Plan**: Define what changes are needed and why
-2. **Reason**: Think through the approach and potential issues  
-3. **Test**: Write tests to verify success before implementing
-4. **Execute**: Implement changes in a new Git branch
-5. **Verify**: Run all tests and ensure everything works
-6. **Merge**: Only merge when fully tested and verified
-
-## Testing Standards
-- **Always use pytest** for all tests
-- **Test before implementing** - write tests that define success
-- **Test after implementing** - verify everything works
-- **Test edge cases** and error conditions
-
-## Documentation
-- **Prefer Quarto** for documentation generation
-- **Keep rules short** and actionable
-- **Update rules** as patterns emerge
-
-This ensures quality, traceability, and prevents breaking main branch.

+## Testing Your Implementation
+
+TinyTorch uses a **three-phase testing approach** to ensure your code works correctly at every level:
+
+```bash
+# Run comprehensive tests for a module
+tito module test 03
+```
+
+### Three-Phase Testing
+
+When you run `tito module test`, it executes three phases:
+
+**Phase 1: Inline Unit Tests** (Yellow)
+- Quick sanity checks from the module source file
+- Tests the core functionality you just implemented
+- Fast feedback loop
+
+**Phase 2: Module Tests** (Blue)
+- Runs pytest with educational output (`--tinytorch`)
+- Shows **WHAT** each test checks
+- Explains **WHY** it matters  
+- Provides **learning tips** when tests fail
+- Groups tests by module for clarity
+
+**Phase 3: Integration Tests** (Magenta)
+- Verifies your module works with all previous modules
+- Tests gradient flow, layer composition, training loops
+- Catches "it works in isolation but fails in the system" bugs
+
+### Testing Options
+
+```bash
+# Full three-phase testing (recommended)
+tito module test 03
+
+# Only inline unit tests (quick check)
+tito module test 03 --unit-only
+
+# Skip integration tests (faster feedback)
+tito module test 03 --no-integration
+
+# Verbose output with details
+tito module test 03 -v
+```
+
+### Why Integration Tests Matter
+
+A common mistake is implementing a module that passes its own tests but breaks when combined with others. For example:
+- Your Layer might compute forward passes correctly but have wrong gradient shapes
+- Your Optimizer might update weights but break the computation graph
+- Your Attention might work for one head but fail with multiple heads
+
+Integration tests catch these issues early, before you spend hours debugging in milestones.

-TinyTalks Q&A Generation (2017) - Transformer Era
-==================================================
-
-📚 HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
-In 2017, Vaswani et al. published "Attention Is All You Need", showing that
-attention mechanisms alone (no RNNs!) could achieve state-of-the-art results
-on sequence tasks. This breakthrough launched the era of GPT, BERT, and modern LLMs.
-
-🎯 WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING:
-Using YOUR TinyTorch implementations, you'll build a character-level conversational
-model that learns to answer questions - proving YOUR attention mechanism works!
-
-TinyTalks is PERFECT for learning:
-- Small dataset (17.5 KB) = 3-5 minute training!
-- Clear Q&A format (easy to verify learning)
-- Progressive difficulty (5 levels)
-- Instant gratification: Watch your transformer learn to chat!

-📊 EXPECTED PERFORMANCE:
-- Dataset: 17.5 KB TinyTalks (301 Q&A pairs, 5 difficulty levels)
-- Training time: 3-5 minutes (instant gratification!)
-- Vocabulary: ~68 unique characters (simple English Q&A)
-- Expected: 70-80% accuracy on Level 1-2 questions after training
-- Parameters: ~1.2M (perfect size for fast learning on small data)
-
-💡 WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
-- Epoch 1-3: Model learns Q&A structure ("A:" follows "Q:")
-- Epoch 4-7: Starts giving sensible (if incorrect) answers
-- Epoch 8-12: 50-60% accuracy on simple questions
-- Epoch 13-20: 70-80% accuracy, proper grammar
-- Success = "Wow, my transformer actually learned to answer questions!"

-- 2015: Han et al. "Deep Compression" - Pruning + Quantization + Huffman
-- 2017: MobileNets - Efficient architectures for mobile
-- 2018: MLPerf launches - Standardized ML benchmarking
-
-This milestone demonstrates systematic model compression:
-1. Baseline model size and accuracy
-2. Apply quantization (INT8, float16)
-3. Apply magnitude pruning
-4. Combine both techniques
-5. Measure accuracy-size tradeoffs
-
-Learning Objectives:
-- Understand quantization techniques (post-training, quantization-aware)
-- Learn structured vs unstructured pruning
-- Measure compression ratios and accuracy degradation
-- See how techniques compose (quantize → prune → quantize)
-
-Expected Output:
-- 4× compression from quantization (fp32 → int8)
-- 2-4× additional from 50-75% pruning
-- Overall: 8-16× smaller model with <5% accuracy loss

+╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
+
+Historical Context (2019-2020):
+When GPT-2 was released, everyone wanted to generate text. But naive generation
+was PAINFULLY slow. Why? Each new token required recomputing attention over
+ALL previous tokens - O(n²) work for each of n tokens = O(n³) total!
+
+The fix: KV Caching. Cache the Key and Value projections so we only compute
+attention for the NEW token. This turns O(n³) into O(n²) - a massive speedup!
+
+🎯 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
+1. WHY generation is slow (quadratic recomputation)
+2. HOW KV caching fixes it (memoization of K,V)
+3. MEASURE the speedup with YOUR Profiler
+4. SEE the memory tradeoff (speed vs memory)

-- 2019: GPT-2 release - Real-time generation becomes critical
-- 2020: Production deployment - Need for inference optimization
-
-This milestone demonstrates generation-specific optimizations:

 Module 01: Tensor - Core Functionality Tests
-Tests fundamental tensor operations and memory management
+=============================================
+
+These tests verify that Tensor, the fundamental data structure of TinyTorch, works correctly.
+
+WHY TENSORS MATTER:
+------------------
+Tensors are the foundation of ALL deep learning:
+- Every input (images, text, audio) becomes a tensor
+- Every weight and bias in a neural network is a tensor
+- Every gradient computed during training is a tensor
+
+If Tensor doesn't work, nothing else will. This is Module 01 for a reason.
+
+WHAT STUDENTS LEARN:
+-------------------
+1. How data is represented in deep learning frameworks
+2. Why NumPy is the backbone of Python ML
+3. How operations like broadcasting save memory and compute

 Module 02: Activations - Core Functionality Tests
-Tests activation functions that enable non-linear neural networks
+==================================================
+
+These tests verify that activation functions work correctly.
+
+WHY ACTIVATIONS MATTER:
+----------------------
+Without activations, neural networks are just linear transformations.
+No matter how many layers you stack, y = W3(W2(W1*x)) = W_combined*x
+
+Activations add NON-LINEARITY, allowing networks to learn complex patterns:
+- Image recognition (cats vs dogs)
+- Language understanding
+- Any real-world problem
+
+WHAT STUDENTS LEARN:
+-------------------
+1. Each activation has specific properties (range, gradient behavior)
+2. Different activations suit different problems
+3. Numerical stability matters (softmax with large values)

+1. SGD actually modifies weights after step()
+2. Adam maintains momentum correctly
+3. Learning rate affects update magnitude
+4. zero_grad() properly clears gradients

+- Uses Tensor (Module 01) - optimizers update tensor.data
+- Uses autograd (Module 05) - optimizers read tensor.grad

+-----------------------
+Convolutions are the foundation of computer vision:
+- Image classification (ImageNet, CIFAR)
+- Object detection (YOLO, Faster R-CNN)
+- Segmentation (U-Net, Mask R-CNN)
+
+Unlike dense layers, convolutions:
+- Share weights across spatial locations (translation invariance)
+- Preserve spatial structure (nearby pixels stay nearby)
+- Use far fewer parameters (kernel is tiny vs full connection)

+1. How convolution "slides" a kernel across an image
+2. How kernel_size, stride, padding affect output shape
+3. How pooling reduces spatial dimensions

+Module 12: Attention Core Tests
+================================
+
+These tests verify that attention mechanisms compute correctly.
+
+WHY THESE TESTS MATTER:
+-----------------------
+Attention is the core innovation behind Transformers (GPT, BERT, etc.).
+If attention doesn't work:
+- Model can't focus on relevant parts of input
+- Transformers collapse to simple averaging
+- Language models produce garbage
+
+WHAT WE TEST:
+-------------
+1. Scaled dot-product attention produces valid probability distributions
+2. MultiHeadAttention preserves input/output shapes
+3. Attention weights sum to 1 (softmax property)
+4. Masking correctly prevents attending to future tokens
+
+CONNECTION TO OTHER MODULES:
+----------------------------
+- Uses Tensor (Module 01) - all computations
+- Uses Linear (Module 03) - Q, K, V projections
+- Uses Softmax (Module 02) - attention weights
+- Enables Transformers (Module 13) - attention is the core component

+Module 20: Capstone Core Tests
+===============================
+
+These tests verify the capstone submission and reporting system.
+
+WHY THESE TESTS MATTER:
+-----------------------
+The capstone is where students prove their TinyTorch implementation works.
+These tests verify:
+1. BenchmarkReport can aggregate all metrics
+2. Submission harness validates student work
+3. The complete system integrates correctly
+
+WHAT THIS MODULE TIES TOGETHER:
+-------------------------------
+- All modules (01-19) must work for capstone to pass
+- Benchmarking (Module 19) provides metrics
+- Optimization modules (14-18) show performance gains

-# TinyTorch Performance Testing Framework
-
-This directory contains comprehensive performance tests that validate whether TinyTorch's optimization modules actually deliver their claimed benefits through **scientific measurement**.
-
-## Overview
-
-The performance testing framework addresses a critical question: **Do the optimization modules really work?**
-
-Rather than accepting theoretical claims, we measure:
-- **Actual speedups** with confidence intervals
-- **Real memory usage** with proper profiling  
-- **Genuine accuracy preservation** with statistical validation
-- **Honest reporting** of both successes and failures
-
-## Framework Design Principles
-
-### Scientific Rigor
-- **Statistical methodology**: Multiple runs, warmup periods, confidence intervals
-- **Proper baselines**: Compare against realistic implementations, not strawmen
-- **Noise reduction**: Control for GC, system load, measurement overhead
-- **Reproducibility**: Consistent results across runs and environments
-
-### Honest Assessment  
-- **Report failures**: When optimizations don't work, we say so
-- **Measure real workloads**: Use realistic data sizes and operations
-- **Validate claims**: Test specific performance assertions (e.g., "4× speedup")
-- **Systems focus**: Measure what matters for ML systems engineering
-
-### Comprehensive Coverage
-- **All optimization modules**: 15 (Profiling), 16 (Acceleration), 17 (Quantization), 19 (Caching), 20 (Benchmarking)
-- **Multiple metrics**: Speed, memory, accuracy, complexity, correctness  
-- **Scaling behavior**: How do optimizations perform with different input sizes?
-- **Edge cases**: Do optimizations work across different scenarios?
-
-## Framework Components
-
-### 1. `performance_test_framework.py` - Core Infrastructure
-- **ScientificTimer**: High-precision timing with statistical rigor
-- **PerformanceComparator**: Statistical comparison of implementations
-- **WorkloadGenerator**: Realistic ML workloads for testing
-- **PerformanceTestSuite**: Orchestrates complete test execution
-
-### 2. Module-Specific Test Files
-- **`test_module_15_profiling.py`**: Validates profiling tool accuracy
-- **`test_module_16_acceleration.py`**: Measures acceleration speedups  
-- **`test_module_17_quantization.py`**: Tests quantization benefits and accuracy
-- **`test_module_19_caching.py`**: Validates KV cache complexity reduction
-- **`test_module_20_benchmarking.py`**: Tests benchmarking system reliability
-
-### 3. `run_all_performance_tests.py` - Complete Validation
-- Executes all module tests systematically
-- Generates comprehensive analysis report
-- Provides honest assessment of optimization effectiveness
-- Saves detailed results for further analysis
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Run All Tests
-```bash
-cd tests/performance
-python run_all_performance_tests.py
-```
-
-This will:
-1. Test all optimization modules (15-20)  
-2. Generate detailed performance measurements
-3. Provide statistical analysis of results
-4. Create honest assessment of what works and what doesn't
-5. Save complete results to `validation_results/`
-
-### Run Individual Module Tests
-```bash
-python test_module_15_profiling.py     # Test profiling tools
-python test_module_16_acceleration.py  # Test acceleration techniques  
-python test_module_17_quantization.py  # Test quantization benefits
-python test_module_19_caching.py       # Test KV caching speedups
-python test_module_20_benchmarking.py  # Test benchmarking reliability
-```
-
-## Understanding Test Results
-
-### Success Criteria
-Each test reports **specific, measurable success criteria**:
-
-**Module 15 (Profiling)**:
-- Timer accuracy: Can detect known performance differences
-- Memory profiler: Correctly tracks memory allocations  
-- FLOP counter: Accurately calculates operation counts
-- Low overhead: Profiling doesn't significantly slow operations
-
-**Module 16 (Acceleration)**:
-- Naive vs blocked: Cache-friendly algorithms show improvement
-- Blocked vs NumPy: NumPy demonstrates hardware acceleration benefits
-- Full spectrum: 5-100× speedups from naive loops to optimized libraries
-- Backend system: Smart dispatch works with minimal overhead
-
-**Module 17 (Quantization)**:
-- Memory reduction: 3-4× reduction in model size
-- Inference speedup: Faster execution (hardware dependent)
-- Accuracy preservation: <5% degradation in model quality
-- Quantization precision: Round-trip error within acceptable bounds
-
-**Module 19 (Caching)**:
-- Memory efficiency: Cache scales linearly with sequence length  
-- Correctness: Cached values retrieved accurately
-- Complexity reduction: O(N²) → O(N) scaling demonstrated
-- Practical speedups: Measurable improvement in sequential generation
-
-**Module 20 (Benchmarking)**:
-- Reproducibility: Consistent results across runs
-- Performance detection: Can identify real optimization differences
-- Fair comparison: Different events provide meaningful competition  
-- Scoring accuracy: Relative performance measured correctly
-
-### Interpreting Results
-
-**✅ PASS**: Optimization delivers claimed benefits with statistical significance
-**⚠️  PARTIAL**: Some benefits shown but not all claims validated  
-**❌ FAIL**: Optimization doesn't provide meaningful improvements
-**🚨 ERROR**: Implementation issues prevent proper testing
-
-### Statistical Validity
-All timing comparisons include:
-- **Confidence intervals**: 95% confidence bounds on measurements
-- **Significance testing**: Statistical tests for meaningful differences
-- **Variance analysis**: Coefficient of variation to assess measurement quality
-- **Sample sizes**: Sufficient runs for statistical power
-
-## Test Categories
-
-### 1. Correctness Tests
-Verify that optimizations produce correct results:
-- Mathematical equivalence of optimized vs baseline implementations
-- Numerical precision within acceptable bounds
-- Edge case handling (empty inputs, extreme values)
-
-### 2. Performance Tests  
-Measure actual performance improvements:
-- **Timing**: Wall-clock time with proper statistical methodology
-- **Memory**: Peak usage, allocation patterns, memory efficiency
-- **Throughput**: Operations per second, batching efficiency  
-- **Scaling**: How performance changes with input size
-
-### 3. Systems Tests
-Evaluate systems engineering aspects:
-- **Cache behavior**: Memory access patterns and cache efficiency
-- **Resource utilization**: CPU, memory, bandwidth usage
-- **Overhead analysis**: Cost of optimizations vs benefits
-- **Integration**: How optimizations work together
-
-### 4. Robustness Tests
-Test optimization reliability:
-- **Input variation**: Different data distributions, sizes, types
-- **Environmental factors**: Different hardware, system loads
-- **Error handling**: Graceful degradation when optimizations can't be applied
-- **Consistency**: Reliable performance across multiple runs
-
-## Key Insights from Testing
-
-### What We've Learned
-
-**Profiling Tools (Module 15)**:
-- Timer accuracy varies significantly with operation complexity
-- Memory profiling has substantial overhead on small operations  
-- FLOP counting can be accurate but requires careful implementation
-- Production profiling needs minimal overhead for practical use
-
-**Hardware Acceleration (Module 16)**:  
-- NumPy vs naive loops: 10-100× speedups easily achievable
-- Cache blocking: 20-50% improvements on appropriate workloads
-- Backend dispatch: Can add 5-20% overhead if not implemented carefully
-- Scaling behavior: Benefits increase with problem size (memory-bound operations)
-
-**Quantization (Module 17)**:
-- Memory reduction: Reliable 3-4× improvement in model size
-- Speed improvement: Depends heavily on hardware INT8 support
-- Accuracy preservation: Achievable with proper calibration
-- Educational vs production: Large gap in actual speedup implementation
-
-**KV Caching (Module 19)**:
-- Complexity reduction: Demonstrable O(N²) → O(N) improvement
-- Memory growth: Linear scaling validates cache design  
-- Practical speedups: Most visible in longer sequences (>32 tokens)
-- Implementation complexity: Easy to introduce subtle bugs
-
-**Benchmarking (Module 20)**:
-- Reproducibility: Achievable with proper methodology
-- Fair comparison: Requires careful workload design
-- Performance detection: Can identify differences >20% reliably
-- Competition scoring: Relative metrics more reliable than absolute
-
-### Unexpected Findings
-
-1. **Profiling overhead**: More significant than expected on small operations
-2. **Quantization educational gap**: Real speedups require hardware support
-3. **Cache behavior**: Memory access patterns matter more than algorithmic complexity
-4. **Statistical measurement**: High variance requires many runs for reliable results
-5. **Integration effects**: Optimizations can interfere with each other
-
-## Limitations and Future Work
-
-### Current Limitations
-- **Hardware dependency**: Some optimizations require specific hardware (INT8, vectorization)
-- **Workload scope**: Limited to synthetic benchmarks, not real ML applications
-- **Environmental factors**: Results may vary significantly across different systems
-- **Educational constraints**: Some "optimizations" are pedagogical rather than production-ready
-
-### Future Enhancements
-- **Continuous integration**: Automated performance testing on code changes
-- **Hardware matrix**: Testing across different CPU/GPU configurations  
-- **Real workload integration**: Performance testing on actual student ML projects
-- **Regression detection**: Automated alerts when optimizations regress
-- **Comparative analysis**: Benchmarking against PyTorch/TensorFlow equivalents
-
-## Contributing
-
-### Adding New Performance Tests
-1. **Create test file**: `test_module_XX_description.py`
-2. **Use framework**: Import and extend `PerformanceTestSuite`
-3. **Scientific methodology**: Multiple runs, proper baselines, statistical analysis
-4. **Honest reporting**: Report both successes and failures
-5. **Integration**: Add to `run_all_performance_tests.py`
-
-### Test Quality Standards
-- **Reproducible**: Same results across runs (within statistical bounds)
-- **Meaningful**: Test realistic scenarios students will encounter  
-- **Scientific**: Proper statistical methodology and significance testing
-- **Honest**: Report when optimizations don't work as claimed
-- **Documented**: Clear explanation of what's being tested and why
-
-## Results Archive
-
-Performance test results are saved to `validation_results/` with timestamps for historical comparison and regression analysis.
-
-Each results file contains:
-- **Raw measurements**: All timing, memory, and accuracy data
-- **Statistical analysis**: Confidence intervals, significance tests
-- **Assessment**: Human-readable evaluation of optimization effectiveness  
-- **Metadata**: Test environment, configuration, timestamps
-
----
-
-**The goal of this framework is scientific honesty about optimization effectiveness. We measure what actually works, report what doesn't, and help students understand the real performance characteristics of ML systems optimizations.**

-Performance Tests for Module 19: KV Caching
-
-Tests whether KV caching actually transforms O(N²) attention to O(N) complexity
-and provides the claimed dramatic speedups for autoregressive generation.
-
-Key questions:
-- Does KV caching actually reduce computational complexity?
-- Is there measurable speedup for sequential token generation?
-- Does caching work correctly with attention mechanisms?
-- Are the O(N²) → O(N) complexity claims realistic?

+# Progressive Testing Framework
+
+## Philosophy
+
+TinyTorch uses **progressive testing** - when you complete Module N, we verify:
+1. **Module N works correctly** (your new implementation)
+2. **Modules 1 to N-1 still work** (no regressions)
+3. **Modules integrate properly** (components work together)
+
+## Why Progressive Testing?
+
+```
+Module 01: Tensor        ← Foundation: if this breaks, everything breaks
+Module 02: Activations   ← Builds on Tensor
+Module 03: Layers        ← Uses Tensor + Activations  
+Module 04: Losses        ← Uses Tensor + Layers
+Module 05: Autograd      ← Core: patches Tensor with gradient tracking
+...and so on
+```
+
+When you're working on Module 05 (Autograd), a bug could:
+- Break Autograd itself (Module 05 tests catch this)
+- Break Tensor operations (Module 01 regression tests catch this)
+- Break how Layers integrate with Autograd (integration tests catch this)
+
+## Test Structure
+
+Each module has three test categories:
+
+### 1. Capability Tests (`test_XX_capabilities.py`)
+**What**: Tests that the module provides its core functionality
+**Educational Value**: Shows students exactly what they need to implement
+
+```python
+class TestLinearCapability:
+    """
+    🎯 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Linear layer performs y = xW + b
+    
+    A Linear layer is the fundamental building block of neural networks.
+    It applies a linear transformation to input data.
+    """
+    
+    def test_linear_forward_computes_affine_transformation(self):
+        """
+        ✅ WHAT WE'RE TESTING: y = xW + b computation
+        
+        Your Linear layer should:
+        1. Store weight matrix W of shape (in_features, out_features)
+        2. Store bias vector b of shape (out_features,)
+        3. Compute output = input @ W + b
+        
+        🔍 IF THIS FAILS: Check your forward() method
+        """
+```
+
+### 2. Regression Tests (`test_XX_regression.py`)
+**What**: Verifies earlier modules still work after changes
+**Educational Value**: Teaches defensive programming and integration
+
+```python
+class TestModule05DoesNotBreakFoundation:
+    """
+    🛡️ REGRESSION CHECK: Ensure Autograd doesn't break earlier modules
+    
+    Autograd patches Tensor operations. This can accidentally break
+    basic tensor functionality if not done carefully.
+    """
+    
+    def test_tensor_creation_still_works(self):
+        """After enabling autograd, basic tensor creation must still work"""
+        
+    def test_tensor_arithmetic_still_works(self):
+        """After enabling autograd, tensor +, -, *, / must still work"""
+```
+
+### 3. Integration Tests (`test_XX_integration.py`)
+**What**: Tests that modules work together correctly
+**Educational Value**: Shows how ML systems connect
+
+```python
+class TestLayerAutogradIntegration:
+    """
+    🔗 INTEGRATION CHECK: Layers + Autograd work together
+    
+    Neural network training requires:
+    - Layers compute forward pass
+    - Loss measures error
+    - Autograd computes gradients
+    - Optimizer updates weights
+    
+    This tests the Layer ↔ Autograd connection.
+    """
+```
+
+## Running Progressive Tests
+
+```bash
+# Test single module (also runs regression tests for earlier modules)
+tito module test 05
+
+# What actually runs:
+# 1. Module 01 regression tests (is Tensor still OK?)
+# 2. Module 02 regression tests (are Activations still OK?)
+# 3. Module 03 regression tests (are Layers still OK?)
+# 4. Module 04 regression tests (are Losses still OK?)
+# 5. Module 05 capability tests (does Autograd work?)
+# 6. Integration tests (do they all work together?)
+```
+
+## Educational Test Naming
+
+Tests should be self-documenting:
+
+```python
+# ❌ BAD: Unclear what's being tested
+def test_forward(self):
+    
+# ✅ GOOD: Clear learning objective
+def test_forward_pass_produces_correct_output_shape(self):
+
+# ✅ BETTER: Includes the concept being taught
+def test_linear_layer_output_shape_is_batch_size_by_out_features(self):
+```
+
+## Failure Messages Should Teach
+
+```python
+# ❌ BAD: Unhelpful error
+assert output.shape == expected, "Wrong shape"
+
+# ✅ GOOD: Educational error message
+assert output.shape == expected, (
+    f"Linear layer output shape incorrect!\n"
+    f"  Input shape: {input.shape}\n"
+    f"  Weight shape: {layer.weight.shape}\n"
+    f"  Expected output: {expected}\n"
+    f"  Got: {output.shape}\n"
+    f"\n"
+    f"💡 HINT: For y = xW + b:\n"
+    f"   x has shape (batch, in_features)\n"
+    f"   W has shape (in_features, out_features)\n"
+    f"   y should have shape (batch, out_features)"
+)

-BUG TRACKING:
-============
-Bug ID: BUG-2024-11-25-001
-Date Found: 2024-11-25
-Found By: PyTorch Expert Architecture Review
-Severity: High
-
-DESCRIPTION:
-CNN example fails with "Inner dimensions must match: 2304 != 1600" when connecting
-Conv2d outputs to Linear layer inputs in CIFAR-10 training.
-
-REPRODUCTION:
-1. Load CIFAR-10 data (32x32 images, 3 channels)
-2. Pass through Conv2d(3, 32, 3) -> MaxPool2d(2) -> Conv2d(32, 64, 3) -> MaxPool2d(2)
-3. Flatten and pass to Linear(1600, 128)
-4. ValueError raised because actual flattened size is 2304, not 1600
-
-ROOT CAUSE:
-Incorrect manual calculation of convolution output dimensions. The example assumed
-wrong dimensions after pooling operations.
-
-FIX:
-Calculate actual dimensions:
-- Input: (32, 32, 3)
-- Conv1: (30, 30, 32) after 3x3 kernel
-- Pool1: (15, 15, 32) after 2x2 pooling  
-- Conv2: (13, 13, 64) after 3x3 kernel
-- Pool2: (6, 6, 64) after 2x2 pooling
-- Flatten: 6 * 6 * 64 = 2304 features
-
-PREVENTION:
-This regression test ensures convolution output dimensions are correctly calculated
-and match Linear layer input expectations.

 Module Test Command for TinyTorch CLI.
 
 Provides comprehensive module testing functionality:
-- Run individual module tests
-- Run all module tests in sequence
-- Display detailed test results
+- Run individual module tests with educational output
+- Three-phase testing: Inline → Module → Integration
+- Display detailed test results with WHAT/WHY context
 - Track test failures and successes
 
-This enables students to verify their implementations are correct.
+This enables students to verify their implementations and understand
+what each test is checking and why it matters.
+
+TESTING PHILOSOPHY:
+==================
+When a student runs `tito module test 05`, we want them to understand:
+1. Does my implementation work? (Inline tests)
+2. Does it handle edge cases? (Module tests with --tinytorch)
+3. Does it integrate correctly with previous modules? (Integration tests)
+
+Each phase builds confidence and understanding.
