## Summary
Lifts 10 host-toolchain / CLI / process / utility modules from
`python/tvm/contrib/` to a new `python/tvm/support/` package, and
deletes two dead contrib shims.
`tvm.support` is the home for Python helpers that integrate TVM with
external CLIs and host-side tools — compilers, archivers, subprocess
pools, and build-info queries. These are load-bearing internal pieces
that TVM's compile/link/run paths depend on. `tvm.contrib` is reserved
for optional vendor SDK integrations and experimental features. The
distinction is documented in the `tvm.support` package docstring.
Moved (one commit each):
- `tvm.contrib.cc` → `tvm.support.cc`
- `tvm.contrib.nvcc` → `tvm.support.nvcc`
- `tvm.contrib.rocm` → `tvm.support.rocm`
- `tvm.contrib.ndk` → `tvm.support.ndk`
- `tvm.contrib.xcode` → `tvm.support.xcode`
- `tvm.contrib.clang` → `tvm.support.clang`
- `tvm.contrib.emcc` → `tvm.support.emcc`
- `tvm.contrib.popen_pool` → `tvm.support.popen_pool`
- `tvm.contrib.utils` → `tvm.support.utils`
- `tvm.contrib.tar` → `tvm.support.tar`
Deleted:
- `tvm.contrib.spirv` — single `optimize()` wrapping `spirv-opt`; zero
importers.
- `tvm.contrib.rpc` — self-deprecation shim with "removed in 0.5"
banner; honoring it.
Package conversion:
- `python/tvm/support.py` → `python/tvm/support/__init__.py` with
inclusion-rule docstring.
- `libinfo()` extracted into `python/tvm/support/libinfo.py`.
- `FrontendTestModule` dropped (audit confirmed zero callers outside its
own definition).
## Compatibility
Hard break — no `tvm.contrib.<mod>` re-export shims. All callers updated
in this PR.
C++-side FFI registry keys (`tvm.contrib.nvcc.*`, etc.) are unchanged —
only the Python module path moves. Renaming the FFI keys is a separate
follow-up.
This PR removes legacy runtime contrib backends that have no existing
compiler backend,
no active development. They can always be brought back in future in case
we find there is a need
* [REFACTOR] Phase out te.schedule python components
This PR phases out te.schedule python components.
te.compute is kept around for future usages.
tir.Schedule is a more modern version of the scheduling that we can use onwards.
Doing so also helps us to cleanup the testcases that relies on
explicit full build and execution. As we move future unit testcases
towards structural equality based unit tests.
* Simplify CI to focus on UT
The main rationale is that we should only have very few target
dependent UT in tests/python/codegen and possible
a new category in future for op-level integration if needed.
* Re-enable wasm
* fix lint
* remove hybrid,sparse autodoc and remove tests

* RelayViz interface and terminal ast-dump.
This PR follows https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/8668, with splitting
out interfaces class and terminal ast-dump implementation.
This visualizer is aimed for quick look-then-fix, so the interface is
simple. Despite that, customization is still possbile through
implementing interfaces defined in `interface.py` or overriding existent
implementations inside a renderer module, like `terminal.py`.
A tutorial is also provided in this PR.
A graphviz renderer will also be contributed after this PR.

* Documentation Refactor - Stage 1
RFC: https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/0027-formalize-documentation-organization.md
Tracking Issue: https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/8987
Stage 1 of the documentation refactor reorganizes the docs structure,
moving files (without content changes) and adding new scaffolding to
generate the proper document tree.
It does not address naming, style, content, links, or other existing
content in documents that were moved. State 2 will address fixing these
issues with existing content.
Major changes include but are not limited to:
* Dividing the existing tutorials into two sections:
* Tutorials
* How Tos
* Moving all of the existing tutorials out of the `/tutorial`
directory and into the more general `/gallery` directory.
* Breaking up how-tos into individual sections for more
flexibility and more consistent rendering.
* Moving content into new classifications:
* `/docs/arch` for architecture guides
* `/docs/reference` for API guides and other reference material
* `/docs/topic` for topic specific guides such as microTVM and VTA
* Restructuring `/docs/dev`
* Adding a table of contents to the doc index
* Adding instructions on how to install using third-party tlcpack
* Documentation Refactor - Stage 2
RFC: https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/0027-formalize-documentation-organization.md
Tracking Issue: https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/8987
Stage 2 of the documentation refactor fixes naming and links
in the documentation to be consistent with the overall structure.
Major changes include:
* an update to how to contribute to docs.
* several updated index pages with title changes to match
the organization style and bring consistency to the sections
* expanded descriptions of some page collections
* fixed links
* Documentation Refactor - Stage 3
RFC: https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/0027-formalize-documentation-organization.md
Tracking Issue: https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/8987
Stage 3 of the documentation refactor adjusts CI for the new structure.
The CI build script takes into account the new gallery format. It
also prevents deleting existing documents, and takes advantage of the
`_staging` and `_build` directories to clean out previous builds.
