//! In-process cross-encoder reranker via ONNX Runtime.
//!
//! Feature-gated (`onnx`). Gives mnem a fully self-hosted reranker
//! option so the hybrid retrieval stack runs without any SaaS key:
//!
//!     sparse (onnx) + dense (ollama) + graph-expand + rerank (onnx)
//!
//! Models (Apache-2.0, all BERT-family sequence-classification heads):
//!
//! - `cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2` (via Xenova's ONNX export).
//!   22M params, 384 hidden dim, MS-MARCO fine-tuned. The default
//!   because it is the smallest cross-encoder that still materially
//!   beats bi-encoder RRF on BEIR and runs on laptop CPU at ~5ms/pair.
//! - `BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3`. 568M params, XLM-R base, multilingual.
//!   Strongest public BEIR numbers in the Apache-2.0 lineup; use when
//!   quality matters more than footprint.
//! - `BAAI/bge-reranker-base`. 278M params, English-only, faster than
//!   v2-m3 with most of its English quality.
//!
//! Inspired by (but not importing) `fastembed-rs` and the sentence-
//! transformers cross-encoder inference pattern.
