//! RaBitQ-style binary quantization (Gao & Long, SIGMOD 2024).
//!
//! Improves on naive sign-bit binary quantization with:
//!
//! 1. **Centroid centering** — vectors are encoded relative to a single
//!    global centroid, so codes capture the residual geometry instead of
//!    the (often uninformative) absolute signs.
//! 2. **Deterministic pseudo-random rotation** — a seeded randomized
//!    Hadamard transform (sign flips + fast Walsh–Hadamard, repeated for
//!    [`DEFAULT_ROUNDS`] rounds, dims padded to a power of two) spreads
//!    energy uniformly across dimensions so 1 bit per dimension carries
//!    near-optimal information. The rotation is orthonormal and fully
//!    reproducible from the stored seed.
//! 3. **Per-vector correction scalars** — the residual norm and the
//!    dot-correction `<o_unit, s_unit>` from the RaBitQ estimator, which
//!    turn Hamming-style codes into an unbiased inner-product estimator.
//! 4. **Asymmetric distance estimation** — full-precision queries are
//!    compared against binary codes via the correction scalars, giving a
//!    far better candidate ranking than symmetric Hamming distance.
//!
//! Intended use is a two-stage search: scan codes with the estimator to
//! collect `oversample * k` candidates, then rescore those candidates with
//! exact f32 distances.
