//! L2 reranker: rerank L1 candidates by exact dense vector distance on stored vectors
//!
//! Optimized for throughput:
//! - Candidates grouped by segment for batched I/O
//! - Flat indexes sorted for sequential mmap access (OS readahead)
//! - Single SIMD batch-score call per segment (not per candidate)
//! - Reusable buffers across segments (no per-candidate heap allocation)
//! - unit_norm fast path: skip per-vector norm when vectors are pre-normalized
