**Header:** `ClikaRT/nn/generated/elementwise.h`  
**Inherits:** [`ClikaRT::nn::Module`](./Module.md)

Adds `other`, scaled by alpha, to `input` elementwise with broadcasting: input + alpha \* other, then the optional fused activation. The module form of [`ClikaRT::ops::add`](../ops/add.md#add), which documents the full contract (shapes, dtypes, errors); construct once, then call it like a function.
