**Testing output match order** I’m considering whether it’s okay if cpp_sources has signature declarations. It seems like I might need to test this out. I'm wondering if I need an exact match for the output order. To clarify, I’m referencing the formula q, k, and v from the linear transformation applied to x, multiplying by the weight matrix W.T and adding b. There’s a lot to think about here as I try to ensure everything is aligned properly!
