optimizer 1.0.0

# optimizer

Bayesian and population-based optimization library with an Optuna-like API
for hyperparameter tuning and black-box optimization. Supports 12 samplers,
8 pruners, multi-objective optimization, async parallelism, and persistent storage.

## Quick Start

```rust
use optimizer::prelude::*;

let study: Study<f64> = Study::new(Direction::Minimize);
let x = FloatParam::new(-10.0, 10.0).name("x");

study.optimize(50, |trial| {
    let val = x.suggest(trial)?;
    Ok::<_, Error>((val - 3.0).powi(2))
}).unwrap();

let best = study.best_trial().unwrap();
println!("Best x = {:.4}, f(x) = {:.4}", best.get(&x).unwrap(), best.value);
```

## Examples

```sh
cargo run --example basic_optimization                       # Minimize a quadratic — simplest possible usage
cargo run --example parameter_types --features derive        # All 5 param types + #[derive(Categorical)]
cargo run --example sampler_comparison                       # Compare Random, TPE, and Grid on the same problem
cargo run --example pruning                                  # Trial pruning with MedianPruner
cargo run --example early_stopping                           # Halt a study when a target is reached
cargo run --example async_parallel --features async          # Evaluate trials concurrently with tokio
cargo run --example journal_storage --features journal       # Persist trials to disk and resume later
cargo run --example ask_and_tell                             # Decouple sampling from evaluation
cargo run --example multi_objective                          # Optimize competing objectives + Pareto front
