+    Pre-compensate a voxel-space affine for the scalings applied again downstream when
+    ``align_corners=True`` and the compiled ``Resample`` path is used.
+
+    ``xform`` is already expressed in voxel space. However, ``Affine`` passes it through ``AffineGrid``,
+    which applies a ``d_out / (d_out - 1)`` scaling per spatial dimension, and the compiled ``Resample``
+    applies a ``(d_in - 1) / d_in`` scaling before ``grid_pull``. This function returns
+    ``T @ S_inv @ xform @ D_inv``, where ``S_inv`` and ``D_inv`` cancel those two scalings and ``T`` is a
+    translation by -0.5 voxel that re-centres the result, so that ``grid_pull`` receives the original
+    ``xform`` unchanged.
+
+    Dimensions are clamped to a minimum of 2 to avoid division by zero for singleton axes.
