Research direction
Open python/nutpie/sample.py and trace init_mean through compile_stan and compile_pymc, starting at the parameter entry points. Confirm the intended use from the surrounding sampling flow; done means init_mean is no longer passed through unused and the relevant behavior is covered by the existing tests.
