//! Event-gated incremental solve — ADR-001 roadmap item #2.
//!
//! The central architectural lift in this crate. Instead of paying
//! `O(k · nnz(A))` cold-start cost per call when a downstream system
//! delivers a *sparse* update to the right-hand side, callers get to
//! warm-start the iterative solver from the previous solution and pay
//! `O(k_warm · nnz(A))` where `k_warm ≪ k_cold` for small deltas. On
//! diagonally-dominant systems the inner solve over the delta has rapid
//! spatial decay, so `k_warm` is often a small constant.
//!
//! ## Why it matters in the stack
//!
//! Every always-on system in the ADR's directive — Cognitum reflex loops,
//! RuView change detection, Ruflo's agentic inner loops, ruvector graph
//! repair — receives input as a *stream of small deltas*, not as fresh
//! full RHS vectors. Without this entry point each tick pays full
//! `O(nnz(A))` even when 99% of `b` is unchanged. With it, steady-state
//! cost falls toward the sparsity of the delta itself.
//!
//! ## API
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! # use sublinear_solver::{Matrix, SparseMatrix, NeumannSolver, SolverOptions};
//! # use sublinear_solver::incremental::{IncrementalSolver, SparseDelta};
//! # fn run(matrix: &SparseMatrix, prev_solution: Vec<f64>) -> sublinear_solver::Result<()> {
//! let solver = NeumannSolver::new(64, 1e-10);
//! // 2 entries of b changed:
//! let delta = SparseDelta::new(vec![3, 17], vec![0.5, -0.2])?;
//! let result = solver.solve_on_change(
//!     matrix as &dyn Matrix,
//!     &prev_solution,
//!     &delta,
//!     &SolverOptions::default(),
//! )?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Complexity
//!
//! The `IncrementalSolver` blanket impl on any `SolverAlgorithm`:
//! - **Cold-start equivalent fallback**: when `nnz(delta) > break_even`, falls back
//!   to a full solve. Configurable via `IncrementalConfig::full_solve_break_even`.
//! - **Warm-start path**: when delta is sparse, runs `solve()` with
//!   `initial_guess = prev_solution`. Iteration count drops in proportion
//!   to the L₂ norm of the residual `b_new − A·prev_solution`, which is
//!   `||A · z||` for the delta-induced correction `z = A⁻¹ · delta`.
//! - On well-conditioned DD systems with `||delta|| / ||b|| ≈ ε`, this
//!   typically converges in `O(log(1/ε))` warm-start iters instead of
//!   `O(√κ · log(1/ε))` cold.
