Description

Description

If we only have on instance of the same OpFromGraph Op we should move constant inputs inside, to allow a simpler internal graph at compilation time.

We shoud also remove any unused inputs/outputs. This was already noted as a todo in the the docstrings: https://github.com/pymc-devs/pytensor/blob/30b760f26366eda7ea26edb1993e521b9d6d55c8/pytensor/compile/builders.py#L173

Research direction

Read pytensor/compile/builders.py around the referenced docstring and the OpFromGraph implementation. Trace how constants and unused inputs or outputs are represented, then add tests showing the intended simplification for a single OpFromGraph instance and confirming that the resulting graph remains correct.
