search.rs

//! Unified monomorphized search kernel.
//!
//! Tests: `tests/solver.rs` (general solve correctness),
//! `tests/solution_set_invariance.rs` (solution-set property test).
//!
//! One tree-search skeleton — [`search`] — parameterized by a zero-sized
//! [`SearchPolicy`]. The policy decides the four things that actually differ
//! between the crate's search modes:
//!
//! | axis            | [`Feasibility`]        | [`BranchBound`]              |
//! |-----------------|------------------------|------------------------------|
//! | leaf action     | record, stop at `max`  | score, keep best, never stop |
//! | node prune      | none                   | optimistic-bound cutoff      |
//! | value order     | raw domain order       | cost-sorted                  |
//!
//! Every hook is `#[inline]` and every implementor is (near) zero-sized, so
//! monomorphization inlines the whole policy — no dispatch cost, the same
//! devirtualization the crate already applies to `ConstraintEnum`.
//!
//! This kernel replaces the three near-verbatim recursive DFS functions that
//! preceded it (`backtrack_recurse`, `backjump_recurse`, `bb_recurse`) whose
//! propagate `match`, validity-check loop, and restore sweep were byte-identical.
//! Undo now runs off the shared [`Trail`] (touched-variable list) rather than an
//! O(num_vars) per-node sweep, and read-only state (`weights`, `var_cids`,
//! `adjacency`) is borrowed rather than deep-cloned per solve.
