//! semlith — a local semantic cache for AI agents.
//!
//! Point it at files, get back a store that answers "what part of my corpus is
//! relevant to this question?" in milliseconds, without shipping anything off
//! the machine and without an agent burning tokens reading whole files.
//!
//! Two pieces of state live side by side in the store directory:
//!
//! - the vectors — a [`turbovec`] TurboQuant index holding only quantized
//!   vectors keyed by chunk id. A store created by 0.7.0 keeps them as a
//!   directory of shards under `index/`; every store written before it keeps
//!   the single `index.tv` it already has. See [`index`].
//! - `store.db` — SQLite holding the chunk text, its file, and its line span.
//!
//! A search quantizes the query, gets ids back from the index, then resolves
//! them to text with one SQLite lookup each.
