Vijay Janapa Reddi c602f97364 feat: integrate TinyTorch into MLSysBook repository
TinyTorch educational deep learning framework now lives at tinytorch/

Structure:
- tinytorch/src/         - Source modules (single source of truth)
- tinytorch/tito/        - CLI tool
- tinytorch/tests/       - Test suite
- tinytorch/site/        - Jupyter Book website
- tinytorch/milestones/  - Historical ML implementations
- tinytorch/datasets/    - Educational datasets (tinydigits, tinytalks)
- tinytorch/assignments/ - NBGrader assignments
- tinytorch/instructor/  - Teaching materials

Workflows (with tinytorch- prefix):
- tinytorch-ci.yml           - CI/CD pipeline
- tinytorch-publish-dev.yml  - Dev site deployment
- tinytorch-publish-live.yml - Live site deployment
- tinytorch-build-pdf.yml    - PDF generation
- tinytorch-release-check.yml - Release validation

Repository Variables added:
- TINYTORCH_ROOT  = tinytorch
- TINYTORCH_SRC   = tinytorch/src
- TINYTORCH_SITE  = tinytorch/site
- TINYTORCH_TESTS = tinytorch/tests

All workflows use \${{ vars.TINYTORCH_* }} for path configuration.

  • Code listings: 5 (syntax-highlighted Python examples)
  • References: 22 citations

Key Contributions

  1. Progressive disclosure via monkey-patching - Novel pedagogical pattern
  2. Systems-first curriculum design - Memory/FLOPs from Module 01
  3. Historical milestone validation - 70 years of ML as learning modules
  4. Constructionist framework building - Students build complete ML system

Framed as design contribution with empirical validation planned for Fall 2025.
