WHAT'S WORKING:
✅ Variable class properly tracks gradients
✅ Autograd backward pass computes gradients
✅ Gradients flow back to Parameters (via _source_tensor)
✅ Optimizers can update parameters
WHAT NEEDS FIXING:
❌ Linear layer returns Tensor, not Variable (breaks chain)
❌ Activations may not preserve Variable type
❌ Operations between Tensor and Variable unclear
THE CORE ISSUE:
- Operations need to automatically promote to Variable when ANY input requires_grad
- This is the "PyTorch way" - automatic gradient tracking
SOLUTIONS:
1. SHORT TERM: Wrap operations in Variables in forward passes
2. LONG TERM: Make operations automatically handle gradient propagation
3. BEST: Unify Tensor/Variable with requires_grad flag (like modern PyTorch)

To make training work properly without hacks, we need to:
1. Make operations (matmul, add, etc.) return Variables when ANY input has requires_grad
2. Ensure all layer operations preserve the gradient chain
3. Make activations handle Variables properly
This follows the PyTorch design where gradient tracking propagates automatically.
