add "assert False, reason"

why contiguous is needed here?

This was present in the earlier implementation, I didn't touch it since my changes are only meant for en-dec attention. I agree this is redundant. I'll remove it.

There are other places using contiguous. please also check if they can be removed as well.

I just checked this. In all other places, its present after permute/transpose operations which is essential.
