Best-of-N image generation that selects the best candidate by measurable reward.
Documentation
//! Generation/selection configuration — the loop's knobs, and its boundary.
//!
//! The two fields that keep this project *bounded* are [`GenerateConfig::candidates`]
//! (how many to generate) and [`RerollPolicy`] (whether to retry the worst one,
//! once). There is deliberately no unbounded refinement loop.
