yantrikdb 0.23.0

//! Mountable knowledge/skill packs.
//!
//! A **pack** is a sealed, single-file YantrikDB that a host database
//! mounts read-only to gain knowledge it does not have, and unmounts to
//! give it back. See `docs/PACKS.md` for the full design.
//!
//! ## Why mount instead of import
//!
//! The obvious alternative — bulk-copy pack rows into the host under a
//! pack origin, remove by origin-scoped delete — cannot deliver a clean
//! detach, and its residue lands in the ranking path:
//!
//! - Deletion in this engine is tombstoning, never a hard DELETE
//!   (`engine::lifecycle::tombstone_inner`), so pack rows would stay in
//!   the user's file forever.
//! - `namespace_importance_stats.count` is a cumulative write counter
//!   that never decrements on forget, so importing and then removing a
//!   large pack permanently shifts the host's importance EWMA — the
//!   user's own later high-importance writes get deflated by a pack that
//!   is no longer there. Silent, permanent, and invisible to any test
//!   that asserts on row counts.
//!
//! Mounting has neither problem. `unmount_pack` drops a handle; the host
//! file is byte-identical before and after, which is the property
//! `tests/pack_mount.rs::unmount_leaves_host_byte_identical` pins.
//!
//! ## What a mount owns
//!
//! Each mount holds its own read-only [`Connection`], its own HNSW built
//! from the pack's rows, and its own scoring cache — all constructed at
//! mount and dropped at unmount. The host's index is never rebuilt or
//! mutated. Mount cost is the same O(rows) HNSW build the host already
//! pays on every open.
//!
//! Separate connections rather than SQLite `ATTACH`: the host keeps a
//! pool of read connections (`YANTRIKDB_READ_POOL`, default 4), and
//! ATTACH is per-connection state. Attaching on the write connection
//! alone would leave pooled readers unable to see the pack, and
//! attaching on all of them turns pool growth into a correctness
//! problem. A per-pack connection sidesteps the class.
//!
//! ## The compatibility check is the whole safety story
//!
//! The query is encoded exactly once, by the host's embedder, and
//! searched against both indexes. A pack built by a different model
//! therefore returns confident nonsense rather than an error — so
//! [`YantrikDB::mount_pack`] refuses to mount unless it can *prove* the
//! spaces match, and proving it requires that both sides recorded their
//! embedder identity durably (see `persist_embedder_identity`).
