//! Symmetric-matrix eigendecomposition via cyclic Jacobi rotations.
//!
//! Used internally by CMA-ES to maintain the covariance matrix's
//! eigendecomposition each generation. Hand-rolled to avoid pulling in a
//! linear-algebra dependency for one algorithm.

/// Symmetric eigendecomposition of an `n × n` matrix.
///
/// `matrix` must be square and symmetric (caller's responsibility — this is
/// `pub(crate)`). Returns `(eigenvalues, eigenvectors)` where:
///
/// - `eigenvalues[i]` is the i-th eigenvalue, in **descending** order.
/// - `eigenvectors[i]` is the corresponding unit eigenvector (row).
///
/// Iterates cyclic Jacobi rotations until the largest off-diagonal magnitude
/// is below `tol` or `max_sweeps` sweeps have completed. For typical CMA-ES
/// usage (small N, well-conditioned C) convergence is fast.
