It is related to this PR in the sense that we can’t create invalid IR: so if you make it illegal in the verifier then the canonicalizer can’t fold to this form and must check before doing so.
If we want to leave the canonicalizer folding, then the verifier should accept it instead.

Both options are correct, but they should be consistent. Not folding negative dimension seems like a straightforward thing I think?
