Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how O1 mixed-precision mode handles convolutions and determine how selected operations could remain float32. Done means users can identify and configure specific convolutions to stay float32 in O1 mode, with behavior covered by tests.
