+"""Equivalence proofs: cumsum attention vs einsum reference.
+
+Open-heart rule: any production-path change must be PROVEN mathematically
+equivalent to the reference before it may wrap a live checkpoint.
+
+Covered here (opt 1, 2026-08-22):
+  - forward outputs match (with and without state carry)
+  - gradients wrt q, k, v match
+  - carried final states (S_final, z_final) match
+  - both match the scalar looped reference (_linear_attention_causal_one_head)
