Summary
Fix the JAX random backend so
random.randintdelegates tojax.random.randintinstead ofjax.random.uniform.This keeps the function name and backend contract aligned: JAX now returns integer samples for integer random draws, matching the behavior expected from the NumPy/autograd and PyTorch backends.
Root Cause
The JAX
_randinthelper split the PRNG key correctly, but then calledjax.random.uniform, so callers got floating-point samples fromrandom.randint.Tests
Added
tests/test_backend_random.pyto check thatrandom.randintreturns integer samples with the requested shape and bounds under each backend's existing call signature.Not run locally because this Codex workspace is read-only and the change was applied through the GitHub connector. The repository's PR CI should run the numpy, pytorch, and jax backend matrix.
