## Title

    [torch.onnx dynamo=True] TorchExportError "Failed to export the model with torch.export. This is step 1/3 of exporting the model to ONNX"

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Dynamo exporter first captures an ExportedProgram; failures there must be fixed in model code; fallback errors are only stored in the report.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior

    - of exporting the model to ONNX. Next steps:
