// SC-NeuroCore — Rust N-step simulator for the Wong-Wang 2006 decision unit

//! Batch parity with `WongWangUnit.step` in
//! `src/sc_neurocore/neurons/models/wong_wang.py` (Wong & Wang 2006,
//! J. Neurosci. 26:1314–1328).
//!
//! Per step:
//!   1. `i_k = j_n * s_k - j_cross * s_(3-k) + i_0 + stim_k + sigma * xi`
//!   2. `r_k = phi(i_k)` where
//!      `phi(i) = (a*i - b) / (1 - exp(-d*(a*i - b)))`
//!      with singularity guard `|a*i - b| < 1e-6 -> 1/d`.
//!   3. `s_k += (-s_k/tau_s + (1 - s_k) * gamma * r_k) * dt`
//!   4. clamp `s_k` into `[0, 1]`.
//!
//! The Python primary draws `np.random.randn()` twice per step; the
//! Rust simulator takes `xi` pre-drawn from the Python RNG so trajectories
//! are bit-exact for matching seeds. This mirrors the ping.rs +
//! PINGCircuit pattern: Python owns the RNG, Rust owns the inner loop.
