 # glm53-compile-05-workspace-acquisition-opaque.patch — the indexer's workspace
 # acquisition must not be traced.

-# STATUS: WIP — fifth of the "compile the GLM trunk" changelist. This is the current

+# STATUS: WIP — fifth of the "compile the GLM trunk" changelist. This is a break worth
+# removing, but NOT part of the confirmed blocker and NOT required for the
+# break-tolerant route: `torch.compiler.disable` is itself a graph break, so this patch
+# helps only a hypothetical fullgraph=True route, where the workspace acquisition would
+# be better RESTRUCTURED out of the forward (allocate at init/profile time) than made
+# opaque. Kept because the discovery is real and the wrapper is a no-op when nothing is
+# compiling.
