57-57: Add memory warning forretain_graph=True.Using
retain_graph=Truecan cause memory leaks if backward is called multiple times without clearing the graph. Consider adding a note about this risk or emphasizing "restructure forward pass" as the preferred solution.

Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed. In `@agents/pytorch-build-resolver.md` at line 57, Update the table row that suggests "Add `retain_graph=True` or restructure forward pass" to include a succinct memory warning about `retain_graph=True` (e.g., that using `retain_graph=True` when calling `backward()` can lead to memory leaks if the computation graph is retained across multiple backward passes) and emphasize "restructure forward pass" as the preferred solution; reference the exact token `retain_graph=True` and the phrase "restructure forward pass" so readers see the recommended action and the risk.
87-87: Clarifygradient_checkpointing_enable()is transformers-specific.The
gradient_checkpointing_enable()method is specific to HuggingFace transformers models, not vanilla PyTorch. For custom PyTorch models, users should usetorch.utils.checkpoint.checkpoint()to wrap forward pass segments. Consider clarifying this or providing the general PyTorch alternative.🔧 Suggested clarification

53-53: Clarify "avoid in-place relu" guidance.The fix pattern mentions "avoid in-place relu", but PyTorch's
