/// Verifies:
/// 1. Gradients are non-zero in both quadratic and linear regions
/// 2. Quadratic region: L(x) = 0.5 * x^2 for |x| <= delta
/// 3. Linear region: L(x) = delta * (|x| - 0.5*delta) for |x| > delta
/// 4. Gradient magnitude is bounded by delta
/// 5. No gradient vanishing (unlike clamp)
