//! Updatable, durable multi-segment ANN index via `segstore` (the `store` feature).
//!
//! Enabled by the optional `store` feature. The base [`HNSWIndex`] is build-once;
//! this wraps the corpus in a segstore `SegmentedStore` so vectors can be added
//! and deleted incrementally with a write-ahead log + checkpoint + compaction,
//! and the index survives a restart.
//!
//! Design note: a segstore-backed ANN is *multi-segment* by construction, a
//! per-segment HNSW searched and merged. This is the deliberate alternative to a
//! single evolving graph (`fresh_graph` + FreshDiskANN consolidation): it trades
//! single-graph recall/latency at very large scale for native updatability and
//! durability, which fits a modest or frequently-churning corpus. The
//! cross-segment top-k merge is exact *given* exact per-segment top-k, but HNSW
//! search is itself approximate, so the merged result is approximate (as any HNSW
//! result is); the segmentation adds no exactness it didn't already have.
//!
//! Each per-segment HNSW is built over that segment's *live* vectors and
//! **cached**, rebuilt only when the index is mutated (an add that seals a
//! segment, a delete, or a compaction), not on every query. The small unflushed
//! buffer is built per query.
//!
//! Vectors are L2-normalized on ingest so the default cosine HNSW is well-formed.
