Resolution coercion

Forcing all inputs to a single target resolution (e.g. always coercing to r8) before comparison discards the finer detail of higher-resolution sources and introduces spurious precision on coarser ones.

Detection

Pipeline hardcodes a resolution constant rather than deriving target resolution from source precision or use case.

Mitigation

01
Choose target resolution from the coarsest reliable input, not an arbitrary default
02
Document precision loss/gain per coercion step
