Subject: [PATCH 2/7] Add ReactantExport module and pass pipeline failure
 handling

- Created ReactantExport.jl module for exporting functions to standalone scripts
- Added export_to_reactant_script() function similar to export_to_enzymejax()
- Implemented create_pass_failure_zip() to create debug archives on failure
- Updated NPZ extension to support ReactantExport
- Added try-catch wrapper in compile_mlir to intercept pass failures

+        function_name::String=string(f)
+    )
+
+Export a Julia function to a standalone Reactant script.
+
+This function:
+1. Compiles the function to StableHLO via `Reactant.@code_hlo`
+2. Saves the MLIR/StableHLO code to a `.mlir` file
+3. Saves all input arrays to a single compressed `.npz` file (transposed to account for
+   row-major vs column-major)
+4. Generates a Julia script that only depends on Reactant for loading and executing
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **NPZ.jl**: Must be loaded with `using NPZ` for compression support
+
+## Arguments
+
+  - `f`: The Julia function to export
+  - `args...`: The arguments to the function (used to infer types and shapes)
+
+## Keyword Arguments
+
+  - `output_dir::Union{String,Nothing}`: Directory where output files will be saved. If
+    `nothing`, uses a temporary directory and prints the path.
+  - `function_name::String`: Base name for generated files
+
+## Returns
+
+The path to the generated Julia script as a `String`.
+
+## Files Generated
+
+  - `{function_name}.mlir`: The StableHLO/MLIR module
+  - `{function_name}_{id}_inputs.npz`: Compressed NPZ file containing all input arrays
+  - `{function_name}.jl`: Julia script that loads and executes the exported function
+
+## Example
+
+```julia
+using Reactant, NPZ
+
+# Define a simple function
+function my_function(x::AbstractArray, y::AbstractArray)
+    return x .+ y
+end
+
+# Create some example inputs

+
+# Export to Reactant script
+julia_file_path = Reactant.Serialization.export_to_reactant_script(my_function, x, y)

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Add tests for ReactantExport functionality

- Created test/integration/reactant_export.jl with comprehensive tests
- Tests export functionality for simple functions, matrix operations, and complex cases

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Address code review feedback

- Fix scalar input handling in ReactantExport (check for 0-length shape)
- Fix exception type checking for pass pipeline failures (use string(e))
- Clean up complex string interpolation for better readability
- Fix shell expansion issue by using explicit file enumeration
- Update documentation to fix typos and clarify implementation

- Replace NPZ format with Julia's standard library Serialization
- Change file extension from .npz to .jls for serialized inputs
- Remove NPZ dependency from ReactantExport (still used for EnzymeJAX)
- Update tests to use Serialization instead of NPZ
- Update documentation to reflect no external dependencies needed
- Simplifies implementation and removes need for row/column-major conversion
