Adds aten.sigmoid.default to the WebGPU delegate: element-wise 1/(1+exp(-x)) over a flat fp32 buffer. On the Llama critical path (F.silu -> sigmoid + mul).

Composition (single dispatch):

• sigmoid/UnaryOp.cpp — binds input (storage, read-only) + output (storage) + a Params{num_elements} uniform, 1D-dispatches over num_elements with override wg_size (clamped to the device limit); mirrors the add op (uniform mapped-at-creation, released after the bind group).
• sigmoid/sigmoid.wgsl — guards idx >= num_elements and writes the logistic of each element.

Code Review: WebGPU sigmoid op

• Read PR diff
• Compare against sibling ops (add/mul)
• Review correctness, resource management, edge cases
• Post review

Clean, well-scoped op that faithfully mirrors the add/mul pattern. WGSL is correct (1/(1+exp(-x)) with the idx >= num_elements guard), the generated header's wgsl-sha256 matches sigmoid.wgsl, and resource lifetimes match the established convention (shader/bgl/pipeline-layout released after the bind group is built; uniform buffer dropped after the bind group takes a ref). Nice cleanup using the shared utils::make_uniform helper instead of inlining the mapped-at-creation dance like add does.

Main issue — op won't actually be delegated / no test

aten.sigmoid.default is registered in the runtime via WEBGPU_REGISTER_OP, but it is not added to WEBGPU_SUPPORTED_OPS in backends/webgpu/test/tester.py:21, and there's no test/ops/sigmoid/test_sigmoid.py. Every other op in the runtime (add, mul, view_copy, select_copy, rms_norm) is present in that allowlist and has a matching test. As-is, nothing exercises this code path.

If a follow-up PR in the ghstack adds the partitioner allowlist entry + test, this is fine — please confirm. Otherwise this op is dead code in this PR. Note also the allowlist gates the Vulkan partitioner (WebGPU consumes the VK00 serialization), so delegation also depends on the Vulkan partitioner lowering sigmoid into the subgraph.

Add sigmoid test + allowlist entry →

Minor

• Dtype guard is approximate. The nbytes % sizeof(float) != 0 check (UnaryOp.cpp:35) rejects misaligned buffers but doesn't truly verify fp32 — any 4-byte-divisible dtype (e.g. int32) slips through and gets logistic'd as float. add doesn't validate at all, so this is already stricter than the baseline; just flagging that the error message ("expected fp32") overstates what's checked. Fine to leave.
• Workgroup size differs from add (64 vs 256). Not wrong — clamp_workgroup_size handles device limits either way — but if there's a rationale for the smaller size on the unary path it'd be worth a one-line comment; otherwise consider matching add for consistency.
• SigmoidParams carries a single num_elements + _pad[3]. Correct for the 16-byte uniform alignment requirement and matches the WGSL Params struct. No change needed.

Nits

• UnaryOp.cpp uses the modern nested namespace executorch::backends::webgpu while add/BinaryOp.cpp still uses the old three-line form — your version is the better style, just inconsistent across the directory.
• Directory is sigmoid/ but the file is UnaryOp.cpp (generic). Reasonable if more unary ops will share this scaffold later; otherwise Sigmoid.cpp would match the select/Select.cpp convention.

No correctness or memory-management bugs found. The one thing to resolve before merge is whether the partitioner allowlist + test land here or later in the stack.
