Description
We have a fairly solid idea of what it means to be a valid differnetials type.
Needs to support multipleation with a scalar
needs to support addition to self and to primal
It is rare to need to implement new once, but not inconceave-able.
Using ChainRulesTestUtils as a test time dependency of ChainRulesCore is not technically a circular dependency
though it is close, i think it is fine?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing ChainRulesTestUtils.jl test layout and how differential types are represented, then define coverage for scalar multiplication and addition to the differential type and primal. Done means the proposed differential-type test suite covers those operations and its ChainRulesCore test-time dependency is resolved.
