//! Subspace Embedding Optimization
//!
//! Reduces the dimensionality of a large-scale optimization problem by projecting
//! the search space into a random low-dimensional subspace and optimising there.
//!
//! ## Algorithm sketch
//!
//! For each restart:
//! 1. Sample a random projection matrix P of shape `(subspace_dim × full_dim)`.
//! 2. Optimize the surrogate g(y) = f(P^T y) in the subspace via coordinate descent.
//! 3. Recover the full-dimensional point x = P^T y.
//! 4. Clip to bounds if provided.
//!
//! The method is particularly effective when the objective has a low intrinsic
//! dimensionality (e.g., the effective subspace spanned by the gradient is small).
//!
//! ## References

//!   Random Embeddings". JAIR 55.

/// Coordinate descent in the subspace.
///
/// Uses central finite differences to estimate each partial derivative, then
/// takes a step of size `step_size` in the steepest descent direction along
/// each coordinate.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// - `f`: Objective function on subspace points.
/// - `x0`: Initial point in the subspace.
/// - `n_iter`: Total number of coordinate updates.
/// - `step`: Gradient-descent step size.
/// - `fd_step`: Finite-difference step for partial derivative estimation.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// `(x_best, f_best)` — best point found during descent.
