Root cause

PR #129652 (merged June 22) changed trigTolerance from null to 1e-5f/1e-14 for float/double when FMA is supported, and removed the [ActiveIssue] that was skipping the test on Apple Mobile CoreCLR. However, the test still fails — 16 hits in the past 7 days, 31 in the past month, all after the fix was merged.

The issue is that Tan = Sin/Cos amplifies range-reduction rounding errors. For large radian inputs (the test sweeps -100 to 100), the vectorized range reduction on ARM64 differs from scalar, and these differences compound through the division. While 1e-5f for float is sufficient for Sin and Cos individually, it is too tight for Tan.

Failing log line (build 1449088):

Assert.All() Failure: 153 out of 201 items in the collection did not pass.
Expected: 0.4103213
Actual: 0.4103199

Fix

Give Tan its own wider tolerance instead of sharing trigTolerance with Sin/Cos:

  • Float: 1e-4f (was 1e-5f) — matches the non-FMA trig tolerance and SinPi's float tolerance
  • Double: 1e-10 (was 1e-14) — matches the non-FMA trig tolerance

This follows the existing pattern where functions with known wider precision divergence have their own inline tolerance (e.g., SinPi at line 508, Cbrt at line 474).

What is unverified / help needed

  • Build not validated: Environment lacks .NET 11 SDK. Could not run dotnet build or tests.
  • Tolerance magnitude: The 1e-4f float tolerance is the same as the non-FMA case. It may be more generous than strictly needed, but it is safe (it only relaxes the check). If on-device testing shows tighter bounds work, the tolerance can be reduced.
  • Double tolerance: The 1e-10 double tolerance is also the non-FMA value. The actual required tolerance for double Tan on ARM64 may be tighter, but we don't have the actual double diff values from the KBE.
  • Other platforms: This tolerance change applies to all platforms, not just iOS ARM64. On platforms where vectorized Tan is more precise, the looser tolerance is still safe.

Holistic Review

Motivation: Justified. The test TensorPrimitives.Tan fails repeatedly on ARM64 iOS simulator (16 hits/7d, 31/month) after PR #129652's trigTolerance change proved insufficient, because Tan = Sin/Cos compounds vectorized range-reduction rounding error more than Sin/Cos individually. This is a real, recurring CI failure tied to KBE #129045.

Approach: Reasonable and consistent with existing conventions. Giving Tan its own inline tolerance (1e-4f/1e-10) rather than sharing trigTolerance mirrors the established pattern for functions with wider divergence (e.g. SinPi, Cbrt). The chosen values match the existing non-FMA trig tolerance, so they are a safe, bounded relaxation and only affect a test.

Summary: ⚠️ Needs Human Review. The change is low-risk (test-only, well-documented, follows existing patterns) and will very likely quiet the flaky failure. However, widening tolerance treats the symptom rather than the root cause: it applies globally to all platforms, so on platforms where vectorized Tan is precise it now permits ~1e-4 float error that would previously have been caught. A human familiar with the ARM64 vectorized Tan/range-reduction path (@tannergooding) should confirm the relaxation is acceptable and that no underlying accuracy regression is being masked. The author also notes the fix was not built or tested locally.

Detailed Findings

⚠️Correctness / Approach — The wider tolerance is applied unconditionally to every platform and to both float and double, not just the affected iOS ARM64 case. This is safe (it only relaxes an assertion) but reduces the test's ability to catch genuine precision regressions elsewhere. Since the FMA branch (trigTolerance) already distinguishes platform capability, consider whether Tan could reuse a similarly conditioned tolerance rather than a flat non-FMA value, so precise platforms keep tighter bounds. Non-blocking; noting for reviewer judgment.

💡 Testing — Author states the change was not compiled or run (no .NET 11 SDK). Existing CI on this PR should exercise the affected test project; a reviewer should confirm the relevant System.Numerics.Tensors test legs are green before merge.

Holistic Review

Motivation: Justified. The test TensorPrimitives.Tan fails repeatedly on ARM64 iOS simulator (16 hits/7d, 31/month) after PR #129652's trigTolerance change proved insufficient, because Tan = Sin/Cos compounds vectorized range-reduction rounding error more than Sin/Cos individually. This is a real, recurring CI failure tied to KBE #129045.

Approach: Reasonable and consistent with existing conventions. Giving Tan its own inline tolerance (1e-4f/1e-10) rather than sharing trigTolerance mirrors the established pattern for functions with wider divergence (e.g. SinPi, Cbrt). The chosen values match the existing non-FMA trig tolerance, so they are a safe, bounded relaxation and only affect a test.

Summary: ⚠️ Needs Human Review. The change is low-risk (test-only, well-documented, follows existing patterns) and will very likely quiet the flaky failure. However, widening tolerance treats the symptom rather than the root cause: it applies globally to all platforms, so on platforms where vectorized Tan is precise it now permits ~1e-4 float error that would previously have been caught. A human familiar with the ARM64 vectorized Tan/range-reduction path (@tannergooding) should confirm the relaxation is acceptable and that no underlying accuracy regression is being masked. The author also notes the fix was not built or tested locally.

Detailed Findings

⚠️Correctness / Approach — The wider tolerance is applied unconditionally to every platform and to both float and double, not just the affected iOS ARM64 case. This is safe (it only relaxes an assertion) but reduces the test's ability to catch genuine precision regressions elsewhere. Since the FMA branch (trigTolerance) already distinguishes platform capability, consider whether Tan could reuse a similarly conditioned tolerance rather than a flat non-FMA value, so precise platforms keep tighter bounds. Non-blocking; noting for reviewer judgment.

💡 Testing — Author states the change was not compiled or run (no .NET 11 SDK). Existing CI on this PR should exercise the affected test project; a reviewer should confirm the relevant System.Numerics.Tensors test legs are green before merge.

Root cause

PR #129652 (merged June 22) changed trigTolerance from null to 1e-5f/1e-14 for float/double when FMA is supported, and removed the [ActiveIssue] that was skipping the test on Apple Mobile CoreCLR. However, the test still fails — 16 hits in the past 7 days, 31 in the past month, all after the fix was merged.

The issue is that Tan = Sin/Cos amplifies range-reduction rounding errors. For large radian inputs (the test sweeps -100 to 100), the vectorized range reduction on ARM64 differs from scalar, and these differences compound through the division. While 1e-5f for float is sufficient for Sin and Cos individually, it is too tight for Tan.

Failing log line (build 1449088):

Assert.All() Failure: 153 out of 201 items in the collection did not pass.
Expected: 0.4103213
Actual: 0.4103199

Fix

Give Tan its own wider tolerance instead of sharing trigTolerance with Sin/Cos:

  • Float: 1e-4f (was 1e-5f) — matches the non-FMA trig tolerance and SinPi's float tolerance
  • Double: 1e-10 (was 1e-14) — matches the non-FMA trig tolerance

This follows the existing pattern where functions with known wider precision divergence have their own inline tolerance (e.g., SinPi at line 508, Cbrt at line 474).

What is unverified / help needed

  • Build not validated: Environment lacks .NET 11 SDK. Could not run dotnet build or tests.
  • Tolerance magnitude: The 1e-4f float tolerance is the same as the non-FMA case. It may be more generous than strictly needed, but it is safe (it only relaxes the check). If on-device testing shows tighter bounds work, the tolerance can be reduced.
  • Double tolerance: The 1e-10 double tolerance is also the non-FMA value. The actual required tolerance for double Tan on ARM64 may be tighter, but we don't have the actual double diff values from the KBE.
  • Other platforms: This tolerance change applies to all platforms, not just iOS ARM64. On platforms where vectorized Tan is more precise, the looser tolerance is still safe.

Root cause

PR #129652 (merged June 22) changed trigTolerance from null to 1e-5f/1e-14 for float/double when FMA is supported, and removed the [ActiveIssue] that was skipping the test on Apple Mobile CoreCLR. However, the test still fails — 16 hits in the past 7 days, 31 in the past month, all after the fix was merged.

The issue is that Tan = Sin/Cos amplifies range-reduction rounding errors. For large radian inputs (the test sweeps -100 to 100), the vectorized range reduction on ARM64 differs from scalar, and these differences compound through the division. While 1e-5f for float is sufficient for Sin and Cos individually, it is too tight for Tan.

Failing log line (build 1449088):

Assert.All() Failure: 153 out of 201 items in the collection did not pass.
Expected: 0.4103213
Actual: 0.4103199

Fix

Give Tan its own wider tolerance instead of sharing trigTolerance with Sin/Cos:

  • Float: 1e-4f (was 1e-5f) — matches the non-FMA trig tolerance and SinPi's float tolerance
  • Double: 1e-10 (was 1e-14) — matches the non-FMA trig tolerance

This follows the existing pattern where functions with known wider precision divergence have their own inline tolerance (e.g., SinPi at line 508, Cbrt at line 474).

What is unverified / help needed

  • Build not validated: Environment lacks .NET 11 SDK. Could not run dotnet build or tests.
  • Tolerance magnitude: The 1e-4f float tolerance is the same as the non-FMA case. It may be more generous than strictly needed, but it is safe (it only relaxes the check). If on-device testing shows tighter bounds work, the tolerance can be reduced.
  • Double tolerance: The 1e-10 double tolerance is also the non-FMA value. The actual required tolerance for double Tan on ARM64 may be tighter, but we don't have the actual double diff values from the KBE.
  • Other platforms: This tolerance change applies to all platforms, not just iOS ARM64. On platforms where vectorized Tan is more precise, the looser tolerance is still safe.

Holistic Review

Motivation: Justified. The test TensorPrimitives.Tan fails repeatedly on ARM64 iOS simulator (16 hits/7d, 31/month) after PR #129652's trigTolerance change proved insufficient, because Tan = Sin/Cos compounds vectorized range-reduction rounding error more than Sin/Cos individually. This is a real, recurring CI failure tied to KBE #129045.

Approach: Reasonable and consistent with existing conventions. Giving Tan its own inline tolerance (1e-4f/1e-10) rather than sharing trigTolerance mirrors the established pattern for functions with wider divergence (e.g. SinPi, Cbrt). The chosen values match the existing non-FMA trig tolerance, so they are a safe, bounded relaxation and only affect a test.

Summary: ⚠️ Needs Human Review. The change is low-risk (test-only, well-documented, follows existing patterns) and will very likely quiet the flaky failure. However, widening tolerance treats the symptom rather than the root cause: it applies globally to all platforms, so on platforms where vectorized Tan is precise it now permits ~1e-4 float error that would previously have been caught. A human familiar with the ARM64 vectorized Tan/range-reduction path (@tannergooding) should confirm the relaxation is acceptable and that no underlying accuracy regression is being masked. The author also notes the fix was not built or tested locally.

Detailed Findings

⚠️Correctness / Approach — The wider tolerance is applied unconditionally to every platform and to both float and double, not just the affected iOS ARM64 case. This is safe (it only relaxes an assertion) but reduces the test's ability to catch genuine precision regressions elsewhere. Since the FMA branch (trigTolerance) already distinguishes platform capability, consider whether Tan could reuse a similarly conditioned tolerance rather than a flat non-FMA value, so precise platforms keep tighter bounds. Non-blocking; noting for reviewer judgment.

💡 Testing — Author states the change was not compiled or run (no .NET 11 SDK). Existing CI on this PR should exercise the affected test project; a reviewer should confirm the relevant System.Numerics.Tensors test legs are green before merge.

  • Replace Tan’s shared trigTolerance usage with a dedicated tolerance (float: 1e-4f, double: 1e-10).
  • Add an explanatory comment near the Tan test case entry.

// Tan = Sin/Cos amplifies range-reduction rounding for large radian inputs,
// so it needs wider tolerance than individual trig functions (matches non-FMA tolerance).

Holistic Review

Motivation: Justified. The test TensorPrimitives.Tan fails repeatedly on ARM64 iOS simulator (16 hits/7d, 31/month) after PR #129652's trigTolerance change proved insufficient, because Tan = Sin/Cos compounds vectorized range-reduction rounding error more than Sin/Cos individually. This is a real, recurring CI failure tied to KBE #129045.

Approach: Reasonable and consistent with existing conventions. Giving Tan its own inline tolerance (1e-4f/1e-10) rather than sharing trigTolerance mirrors the established pattern for functions with wider divergence (e.g. SinPi, Cbrt). The chosen values match the existing non-FMA trig tolerance, so they are a safe, bounded relaxation and only affect a test.

Summary: ⚠️ Needs Human Review. The change is low-risk (test-only, well-documented, follows existing patterns) and will very likely quiet the flaky failure. However, widening tolerance treats the symptom rather than the root cause: it applies globally to all platforms, so on platforms where vectorized Tan is precise it now permits ~1e-4 float error that would previously have been caught. A human familiar with the ARM64 vectorized Tan/range-reduction path (@tannergooding) should confirm the relaxation is acceptable and that no underlying accuracy regression is being masked. The author also notes the fix was not built or tested locally.

Detailed Findings

⚠️Correctness / Approach — The wider tolerance is applied unconditionally to every platform and to both float and double, not just the affected iOS ARM64 case. This is safe (it only relaxes an assertion) but reduces the test's ability to catch genuine precision regressions elsewhere. Since the FMA branch (trigTolerance) already distinguishes platform capability, consider whether Tan could reuse a similarly conditioned tolerance rather than a flat non-FMA value, so precise platforms keep tighter bounds. Non-blocking; noting for reviewer judgment.

💡 Testing — Author states the change was not compiled or run (no .NET 11 SDK). Existing CI on this PR should exercise the affected test project; a reviewer should confirm the relevant System.Numerics.Tensors test legs are green before merge.
