+Zero-allocation first-order upwind stencil for non-uniform grids using the Fornberg
+half-node formula. Builds the symbolic expression directly into the AST without
+allocating any weight or tap-point vector.

+Boundary fallback: at i == 1 the right-biased stencil is used; at i == n the
+left-biased stencil is used. In practice the PDE solver never evaluates interior
+upwind rules at the boundary nodes (those are handled by BC equations), so these
+branches are defensive only.
