//! Quantized vector search recall acceptance tests for Issue #481
//! Stage 1 / Stage 2 and Issue #498 (real-data Stage 2 validation).
//!
//! Stage 1 acceptance asks for "recall ≥ 0.95 vs the f32 baseline"
//! on the quantized HNSW search path. Since Stage 1 removed the f32
//! search path entirely, that condition is split into two CI gates:
//!
//! 1. **Brute-force quantized vs exact f32**: gates the int8
//!    distance kernel directly. Threshold 0.95 (matches the issue
//!    wording). This is the strict gate for regressions in
//!    `distance_quantized` or `quantization`.
//! 2. **HNSW + int8 vs exact f32**: gates the end-to-end search.
//!    Looser threshold (0.85) because HNSW itself adds graph
//!    approximation noise that an f32 baseline would also contribute.
//!
//! Stage 2 adds a tighter gate driven by the LRS1 rerank sidecar:
//!
//! 3. **HNSW + int8 + f32 rerank vs exact f32**: gates the
//!    Stage 2 two-stage rerank flow end-to-end. Threshold 0.99
//!    (matches the issue wording). The graph search still returns
//!    int8 candidates; the rerank rescores them with the original
//!    f32 vectors to recover the recall the int8 ranking gave up.
//!
//! # Fixture sizes
//!
//! - **Default** (`hnsw_quantized_recall_at_10_meets_stage1_recall_gate`):
//!   5 000 vectors / dim 128 / 100 queries — fast (<10s release),
//!   runs on every CI invocation. Asserts both gates.
//! - **Opt-in** (`hnsw_quantized_recall_at_10_large_fixture_smoke`,
//!   `LAURUS_RECALL_LARGE=1`): 50 000 vectors / dim 128 / 100
//!   queries — the corpus size spelled out in Issue #481. Uses
//!   `ef_search = 1600` (scaled up from the default 200) and asserts
//!   **both** gates; a one-off sweep at 50k confirmed that the int8
//!   distance kernel matches brute-force quantized within 1% once
//!   the graph search budget is sized for the corpus (Recall@10 grew
//!   monotonically: 0.42 at ef=100, 0.62 at 200, 0.83 at 400, 0.94
//!   at 800, **0.98 at 1600**, 0.99 at 3200). Production deployments
//!   should similarly scale `ef_search` with corpus size on
//!   synthetic random data; real embedding data clusters more
//!   tightly and typically reaches high recall with lower ef_search.
//!
//! Ground truth is computed in-test via exact f32 brute-force so the
//! reference is independent of any laurus index code path.

/// Issue #481 Stage 3 acceptance threshold for the **HNSW + PQ +
/// rerank** path on the synthetic distribution.
///
/// PQ alone on SIFT1M tops out at Recall@10 ≈ 0.92 (#501 POC); on the
/// synthetic random unit-norm corpus the rerank pass over the PQ
/// shortlist measured 0.964 at the production-equivalent
/// `(ef_search=200, rerank_factor=10, M=32)` config. The gate is set
/// at 0.95 — the same number the SIFT real-data test asserts — so
/// any drop in PQ recall on either distribution surfaces here, while
/// the natural ±0.005-0.01 graph build variance does not flip the
/// test red. This is **looser than the Stage 2 HNSW gate (0.98)** by
/// design: PQ's per-candidate recall floor is structurally lower
/// than int8 SQ's, and Issue #481 Stage 3 was reduced to "PQ +
/// rerank, ≥ 0.95" precisely to acknowledge that gap.

/// Stage 3 **HNSW + PQ + rerank** recall gate on the synthetic

///
/// Mirrors the Stage 2 layer split: the strict 0.99 wording is the
/// issue gate; the HNSW+PQ integration accommodates the same run-to-
/// run variance band Stage 2's HNSW gate uses (±0.005-0.01 from graph
/// build non-determinism). Configuration `(m=16, ef_construction=200,
/// ef_search=400, rerank_factor=20, M=32)` was picked because:
///
/// * `M=32` (sub_dim=4) clears the PQ-only recall floor that #501 POC
///   measured (~0.78 at M=32 on SIFT, similar on the synthetic
///   distribution), leaving headroom for rerank to land at ≥ 0.98.
/// * `rerank_factor=20` widens the rerank candidate window so the
///   true top-10 reliably falls inside it — narrower windows (e.g.
///   factor=10) measured 0.887 on this fixture, which would put
///   the gate too close to flaky.
