Description
"Square root BP" as defined in Eq. (25) of ^1 is introduced in #100, but without an early stopping criteria. Early stopping is a bit more subtle since in general there is an arbitrary unitary gauge degree of freedom of the "square root message tensors", which could be fixed in various ways, such as by squaring them, using a unique factorization like a positive QR or polar decomposition, using the singular values of the square root message tensors, etc. This is a reminder to implement that.

Research direction
Start by reading Eq. (25) in the linked paper and the square root BP implementation introduced in issue #100. The issue leaves the gauge handling and stopping criterion open, so first determine an invariant criterion and its expected behavior; done would mean early stopping is implemented for square root BP and validated against the relevant behavior.
