Description
The fundamental theorem of calculus says that differential problems can also be expressed as Integral problems.
Certain functions like clamp, max, min lack a definition of derivatives at every point.
When you perform a finite difference approximation the result will certainly be in doubt around these points.
Integrals would be mostly immune against those defects.
Do you have any thoughts on idea?

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests and asks for feedback on testing derivatives through integrals. Start by reviewing the repository's existing custom AD primitive testing utilities and determine whether an integral-based approach can be specified; done would be a decided, actionable scope rather than an open-ended proposal.
