Summary
Fix a subclass-erasure bug in
WrappedNormalDistributionanalogous to the subclass-preservation regressions already fixed for von Mises, vMF, Gaussian, SO(3), and grid distributions.from_moment,shift,convolve, and the VM-based multiplication path constructedWrappedNormalDistributiondirectly (or converted back through the base class), so calling these APIs through a subclass silently returned the base class and discarded subclass behavior/state.Changes

Before this patch, each of the following returned
