//! Backend-agnostic slice views over the parameter vector.
//!
//! L-BFGS-B's inner numerics (cauchy, subsm, formk, compact-form
//! helpers) all operate on `&[f64]` / `&mut [f64]`. To stay generic
//! over the user-chosen parameter backend (`Vec<f64>`, nalgebra
//! `DVector<f64>`, faer `Col<f64>`, ndarray `Array1<f64>`), the
//! top-level solver views each vector as a contiguous f64 slice at
//! iteration boundaries. The two
//! tiny traits below capture that view; impls are per-backend and
//! `pub(crate)` to keep them off the public API surface.
//!
//! This is the slice-extraction layer noted in the L-BFGS-B port plan
//! (Stage 6 in `~/.claude/plans/i-want-to-add-ticklish-breeze.md`).
//! It only matters at the solver / state boundary — once a slice has
//! been extracted, every cauchy / subsm / formk call already works on
//! `&[f64]`.

/// Read-only view of a parameter vector as a contiguous `&[f64]`.
