1//! Deterministic Phase Training for Codebook Optimization
2//!
3//! This module integrates vsa-optim-rs's `DeterministicPhaseTrainer` to optimize
4//! codebook basis vectors through gradient-based learning with deterministic
5//! gradient prediction.
6//!
7//! # Training Phases
8//!
9//! The trainer operates in four phases:
10//! - **WARMUP**: Collect gradient history for pattern analysis
11//! - **FULL**: Complete backpropagation for accurate gradients
12//! - **PREDICT**: Use closed-form predicted gradients (fast, no backprop)
13//! - **CORRECT**: Periodic correction to prevent drift
14//!
15//! # Performance
16//!
17//! - ~90% gradient storage reduction via VSA compression
18//! - ~80% backward pass reduction via gradient prediction
19//! - Deterministic: same seed + data = identical training trajectory
20//!
21//! # Example
22//!
23//! ```rust,ignore
24//! use embeddenator_vsa::{Codebook, PhaseTrainingConfig, train_codebook_with_phases};
25//!
26//! let mut codebook = Codebook::new(10000);
27//! codebook.initialize_byte_basis();
28//!
29//! let training_data: Vec<&[u8]> = vec![
30//!     b"training sample 1",
31//!     b"training sample 2",
32//! ];
33//!
34//! let config = PhaseTrainingConfig::default();
35//! let stats = train_codebook_with_phases(&mut codebook, &training_data, &config)?;
36//! println!("Training speedup: {:.2}x", stats.speedup);
37//! ```
