"""Structure-specific subtle-fault rules.
Motivation: on elementwise / index-output kernels our generic rules degenerate
to gross arithmetic mutations (a*b -> a+b), which any input kills. Those
kernels DO admit realistic subtle faults — they just live in different
syntax. Each rule below models a fault an LLM-written kernel plausibly makes,
and each is invisible under the benchmark's default inputs (aligned shapes,
torch.rand[0,1)) while being killable by a deliberately constructed input.
Fault families:
A. tie-breaking in max/min/argmax (ties have measure zero under continuous
random input; only duplicate-valued inputs expose them)
B. approximation-constant perturbation (relative error ~1e-3 hides under
atol=1e-2 at small magnitude, grows with |x|)
C. branch-cutoff shifts in piecewise activations (wrong only inside the
moved interval)
D. single-element tail loss in elementwise guards (needs misaligned or
spiked-tail input)
