//! SMO solver for the SVM dual problem.
//!
//! Implements the Fan et al. (JMLR 2005) algorithm with WSS3 working-set
//! selection, shrinking heuristic, and both Standard and Nu variants.
//!
//! This is a faithful translation of `Solver` and `Solver_NU` from
//! LIBSVM's `svm.cpp` (lines 362–1265).
