//! # fast-ssim2
//!
//! Fast SIMD-accelerated implementation of [SSIMULACRA2](https://github.com/cloudinary/ssimulacra2),
//! a perceptual image quality metric.
//!
//! ## Quick Start
//!
//! The simplest way to compare two images:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use fast_ssim2::compute_ssimulacra2;
//! use imgref::ImgVec;
//!
//! // Load your images (8-bit sRGB)
//! let source: ImgVec<[u8; 3]> = load_image("source.png");
//! let distorted: ImgVec<[u8; 3]> = load_image("distorted.png");
//!
//! let score = compute_ssimulacra2(source.as_ref(), distorted.as_ref())?;
//! // score: 100 = identical, 90+ = imperceptible, <50 = significant degradation
//! ```
//!
//! ## Score Interpretation
//!
//! | Score | Quality |
//! |-------|---------|
//! | **100** | Identical (no difference) |
//! | **90+** | Imperceptible difference |
//! | **70-90** | Minor, subtle difference |
//! | **50-70** | Noticeable difference |
//! | **<50** | Significant degradation |
//!
//! ## Supported Input Formats
//!
//! ### With `imgref` feature (recommended for most users)
//!
//! | Type | Color Space | Notes |
//! |------|-------------|-------|
//! | `ImgRef<[u8; 3]>` | sRGB | Standard 8-bit RGB images |
//! | `ImgRef<[u16; 3]>` | sRGB | 16-bit RGB (high bit depth, SDR) |
//! | `ImgRef<[f32; 3]>` | **Linear RGB** | Already linearized data |
//! | `ImgRef<u8>` | sRGB grayscale | Expanded to R=G=B |
//! | `ImgRef<f32>` | Linear grayscale | Expanded to R=G=B |
//!
//! **Convention:** Integer types assume sRGB gamma encoding. Float types assume linear RGB.
//!
//! ### Without features (using `yuvxyb` types)
//!
//! ```
//! use fast_ssim2::compute_ssimulacra2;
//! use yuvxyb::{Rgb, TransferCharacteristic, ColorPrimaries};
//! use std::num::NonZeroUsize;
//!
//! let data: Vec<[f32; 3]> = vec![[0.5, 0.5, 0.5]; 64 * 64];
//! let w = NonZeroUsize::new(64).unwrap();
//! let h = NonZeroUsize::new(64).unwrap();
//! let source = Rgb::new(data.clone(), w, h,
//!     TransferCharacteristic::SRGB, ColorPrimaries::BT709)?;
//! let distorted = Rgb::new(data, w, h,
//!     TransferCharacteristic::SRGB, ColorPrimaries::BT709)?;
//!
//! let score = compute_ssimulacra2(source, distorted)?;
//! // compute_ssimulacra2 accepts yuvxyb::Rgb, yuvxyb::LinearRgb, and more
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Batch Comparisons (2x Faster)
//!
//! When comparing multiple images against the same reference (e.g., evaluating
//! different compression levels), precompute the reference data once:
//!
//! ```
//! use fast_ssim2::Ssimulacra2Reference;
//! use yuvxyb::{Rgb, TransferCharacteristic, ColorPrimaries};
//! use std::num::NonZeroUsize;
//!
//! // Create test data
//! let data: Vec<[f32; 3]> = vec![[0.5, 0.5, 0.5]; 64 * 64];
//! let w = NonZeroUsize::new(64).unwrap();
//! let h = NonZeroUsize::new(64).unwrap();
//! let source = Rgb::new(data.clone(), w, h,
//!     TransferCharacteristic::SRGB, ColorPrimaries::BT709)?;
//!
//! // Precompute reference data (~50% of the work)
//! let reference = Ssimulacra2Reference::new(source)?;
//!
//! // Compare multiple distorted versions efficiently
//! let distorted = Rgb::new(data, w, h,
//!     TransferCharacteristic::SRGB, ColorPrimaries::BT709)?;
//! let score = reference.compare(distorted)?;
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Custom Input Types
//!
//! Implement [`ToLinearRgb`] to support your own image types:
//!
//! ```

//!
//! ## SIMD Configuration
//!
//! SIMD is enabled by default via the `archmage` crate, providing cross-platform
//! acceleration on x86_64 (AVX2, AVX-512), AArch64 (NEON), and WASM (SIMD128).
//!
//! | Backend | Speed | Platforms |
//! |---------|-------|-----------|
//! | `Scalar` | 1.0× (baseline) | All |
//! | `Simd` (default) | 2-3× | x86_64, AArch64, WASM |
//!
//! To explicitly select a backend:
//!
//! ```
//! use fast_ssim2::{compute_ssimulacra2_with_config, Ssimulacra2Config};
//!
//! # let source = fast_ssim2::LinearRgbImage::new(vec![[0.0; 3]; 64], 8, 8);
//! # let distorted = fast_ssim2::LinearRgbImage::new(vec![[0.0; 3]; 64], 8, 8);
//! let score = compute_ssimulacra2_with_config(
//!     source,
//!     distorted,
//!     Ssimulacra2Config::scalar(), // or ::simd()
//! )?;
//! # Ok::<(), fast_ssim2::Ssimulacra2Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! | Feature | Default | Description |
//! |---------|---------|-------------|
//! | `imgref` | | Support for `imgref` image types |
//! | `rayon` | | Parallel computation |
//! | `hdr-pu` | | Experimental: HDR scoring via the PU21 (banding_glare) encoding; input is absolute-luminance linear RGB in cd/m² |
//!
//! ## Requirements
//!
//! - **Image size:** [`compute_ssimulacra2`] and [`Ssimulacra2Reference`]
//!   accept any size from 1×1 up to [`MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS`] pixels; inputs
//!   below the metric's 8×8 pyramid floor are reflect(mirror)-padded.
//!   The strip APIs ([`compute_ssimulacra2_strip`],
//!   [`Ssimulacra2Reference::compare_strip`]) target very large images and
//!   require at least 8×8.
//! - **MSRV:** 1.89.0
