//! HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) Index
//!
//! Approximate nearest neighbor search with 250x speedup over brute force.
//! Based on the paper "Efficient and robust approximate nearest neighbor search using
//! Hierarchical Navigable Small World graphs" by Malkov and Yashunin (2016).
//!
//! ## Concurrency Model
//!
//! This implementation uses **fine-grained locking** (not lock-free):
//! - **Node storage**: DashMap (sharded RwLocks) for O(1) concurrent access
//! - **Neighbor lists**: Per-layer RwLocks with version counters for optimistic updates
//! - **Entry point/max_layer**: AtomicNavigationState (packed AtomicU64, wait-free reads)
//!
//! ### Concurrency Guarantees
//! - **Thread-safe**: All operations are safe to call from multiple threads
//! - **Deadlock-free**: Single lock ordering (one layer lock at a time)
//! - **TOCTOU-safe**: Version counters prevent lost updates in prune operations
//! - **NOT lock-free**: Threads may block waiting for locks
//!
//! ### Lock Ordering Discipline
//! To prevent deadlock, we never hold locks on multiple nodes simultaneously.
//! When modifying neighbor lists:
//! 1. Acquire single layer lock
//! 2. Modify or release before acquiring another lock
//! 3. Use optimistic concurrency (read version → compute → CAS) for prune
//!
//! **Gap #4 Fix**: Added optional memory-mapped vector storage support.
//! When `external_storage` is set, vectors are stored on disk via mmap instead of in-memory.
//! This enables 10M+ vectors on 16GB desktop machines.
//!
//! **Gap #4 Fix (Adaptive ef_search)**: Implements adaptive ef based on target recall.
//! Uses binary search to find the minimum ef that achieves target recall,
//! starting from a calibration phase and caching the optimal ef value.
//!
//! **Gap #5 Fix**: Provides search_exact() for brute-force exact k-NN and search_smart()
//! that automatically chooses between exact and approximate based on dataset size.
//!
//! **Note on Gap #6 (Lazy Backedge)**: HNSW uses immediate bidirectional links with
//! fine-grained per-layer locks. This approach is efficient for HNSW's hierarchical
//! structure. For lazy backedge population, see Vamana index (vamana.rs) which
//! implements CoreNN-style backedge deltas for its single-layer graph.
