💡 What: The optimization implemented
Replaces let grad_out = grads[out.index].clone(); with Option::take() and updates accumulate_grad to take ownership of grad: Tensor.

🎯 Why: The performance problem it solves
Avoids redundant heap allocations for Tensor shape and stride metadata during the backward pass.

📊 Impact: Expected performance improvement
Eliminates one Tensor metadata clone per operation in the backprop graph, speeding up reverse-mode differentiation and reducing GC pressure.

🔬 Measurement: How to verify the improvement
Run cargo test -p aether-core to confirm autograd correctness. Performance can be measured in large-scale model training scenarios.
