Description
When I bumped AbstractDifferentiation compat to 0.6 on ImplicitDifferentiation, I got type inference errors in ChainRulesTestUtils that were not there before. Probably a regression due to the latest changes. Any idea what might have worsened inference @devmotion ?

Research direction
Start with the linked ImplicitDifferentiation.jl Actions run and the AbstractDifferentiation compat 0.6 change, then inspect the reported ChainRulesTestUtils type-inference errors. No source file or test path is named in the issue; done means identifying the regression and restoring the previously working inference behavior.
