//! Batch distance computation for HNSW neighbor selection.
//!
//! Instead of computing distances one-at-a-time in a loop, collects
//! candidate vectors and computes distances in bulk. This improves
//! cache utilization and enables SIMD-friendly memory access patterns.
//!
//! Used by `select_neighbors_heuristic` in build.rs to accelerate
//! the diversity check during HNSW graph construction.
