+//! Targeted coverage of the deeper Clique-Picking sampler/counter branches via
+//! chordal graphs whose clique trees have several overlapping maximal cliques with
+//! separators of *different* sizes (k-trees, interval graphs, triangle/clique
+//! "books", and random chordal sweeps). Each graph is driven through both the
+//! counter (`mec_size`) and the uniform sampler (`sample_dag`), cross-checked
+//! against the exact enumeration oracle, with every sampled DAG asserted
+//! fully-directed and acyclic.
+//!
+//! These graphs exhaustively exercise the forbidden-prefix scan in `count.rs`
+//! (`count_traversal`) and `sample.rs` (`rec_count_init` / `rec_sample_ordering`),
+//! the `WeightedChoice` selector, the rejection-sampling permutation path
+//! (`draw_allowed_permutation` / `is_allowed`), and the `equal_to_vec` comparison
+//! in MCS clique-tree construction.
+//!
+//! Several adjacent lines are proven-unreachable defensive guards for valid
+//! chordal input and stay uncovered by design (each documented at its test):
+//! * the forbidden-prefix `size <= separator.len()` early-stop `break`
+//!   (`count.rs:170`, `sample.rs:237`, `sample.rs:399`) — within one flower, both
+//!   endpoints of an internal crossing edge in the flower force its separator
+//!   *strictly* larger than the subproblem separator (the tree gives a unique path,
+//!   and the flower only crosses differing separators), so `size > separator.len()`
+//!   always holds and the earlier flower-membership `break` fires for outside
+//!   edges;
+//! * `is_allowed`'s final post-loop `true` (`sample.rs:487`);
+//! * `WeightedChoice::sample`'s last-index fallthrough (`sample.rs:133`);
+//! * `equal_to_vec`'s "same length, different content" `false` (`index_set.rs:143`);
+//! * the post-orientation cycle guards in `sample_dag` (`sample.rs:564`) and
+//!   `representative_dag` (`sample.rs:614`) — a valid CPDAG (already passed
+//!   `validate_cpdag`) oriented by a topological order cannot produce a cycle.

+//! Coverage notes for the late dimension-mismatch guards in
+//! `kalman_filter_linear_kernel` (estimation.rs:170-174 and 187-191).
+//!
+//! These two guards are *defensive* and provably unreachable for any input
+//! that survives the earlier matmul chain:
+//!
+//! * Line 170-174 checks `x_pred.shape() != ky.shape()` where
+//!   `ky = K · y`. `K` has shape `[n, m]` (from `P[n,n]·Hᵀ[n,m]·S⁻¹[m,m]`) and
+//!   `y` matches the measurement column shape `[m, c]`, so `ky` is `[n, c]`.
+//!   For `hx = H·x_pred` to have succeeded, `x_pred` must be `[n, c]` — exactly
+//!   `ky`'s shape. The shapes therefore always agree once the matmuls succeed.
+//!
+//! * Line 187-191 checks `identity.shape() != kh.shape()` where
+//!   `kh = K[n,m] · H[m,n] = [n, n]` and `identity` is built from
+//!   `p_pred.shape()`, which `CausalTensor::identity` already required to be a
+//!   square `[n, n]`. The shapes therefore always agree.
+//!
+//! Any attempt to violate either guard makes one of the preceding `matmul`
+//! calls fail first (the tensor library rejects the inner-dimension mismatch),
+//! so control never reaches the guard. The test below exercises the full happy
+//! path (which flows *past* both guards via the non-error branch) and a
+//! representative early-mismatch case, documenting the unreachable guards.
