## Rationale `axes_separator` and `buffer_type` (auto-broadcast buffers) add representation and propagation complexity that is not needed for flat-buffer use cases. This change removes those surfaces and standardizes buffer handling on the default flat layout. Backward compatibility for compact JSON containing the removed fields is intentionally out of scope. ## Changes - Remove the reflected buffer fields and their C++, Python, packed-function, TVMScript, and printer surfaces. - Remove auto-broadcast binding and axis-separator propagation from TIR, S-TIR, Relax, and backend lowering. - Simplify buffer flattening and reconstruction for the supported flat-buffer contract. - Remove tests that only exercised the phased-out features while preserving default flat-buffer coverage. ## Validation - LLVM-enabled clean C++ build - Changed-file pre-commit checks - 375 focused TIR, TVMScript, S-TIR, and Relax tests passed (3 skipped, 1 existing xfail) - Repository-wide search for the removed APIs -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
