# full ctest across every (host, ISA) combination that has its own
# code path. one matrix entry per surface that needs independent
# coverage:
# x86-avx2: ubuntu-latest with ISA dispatch — auto-picks AVX-512
# if the runner CPU supports it, else AVX2; full SIMD
# + JIT path
# x86-scalar: ubuntu-latest with -mno-* + AX_OPENMP=OFF — exercises
# the generic scalar fallback paths (catches accidental
# requirements on AVX/NEON without a scalar fallback)
# arm64-neon: ubuntu-24.04-arm — NEON intrinsics + 8x12 JIT kernel
# arm64-nojit: same hardware with AX_NO_JIT — regression guard for
# the AAPCS64 callee-save bug fixed in 70cdc04 (kernel
# clobbered v8..v15 without saving them, only the JIT
# path was affected)

# valgrind memcheck on a curated subset of tests. catches leaks and

# from heap blocks that ASan only spots on free). built with
# AX_OPENMP=OFF + AX_NO_AUTOTUNE=1 to keep the (~30x slowdown of
# memcheck) under the 600 s/test budget.
#
# subset rationale — tests are picked to exercise allocator + jit
# encoder + error-handling paths in a few seconds each. compute-
# heavy tests (test_compute, test_attention, test_grad_verify,
# test_optim, test_lr_sched) blow the budget, or report 'possibly
# lost' noise from process-lifetime per-thread pack buffers in
# cpu_opt.c (ensure_tl_pack_bufs) that would force suppressing
# axiom's own allocations — masking real future leaks. asan + the
# main test job already cover those code paths.
