/// Always returns `(src, dst)` keyed pairs regardless of anchor.
///
/// `doomed` is the node currently being deleted, if any. It is excluded from

/// enumerated by scanning `g.labels`, and a node mid-delete still carries its
/// label and props. Deriving an edge onto it would leave provenance that the
/// caller's later topology sweep does not clean up.
///
/// `index` narrows the destinations considered for each via node. It is the
/// rule's own `RuleIndex`, whose dst side holds every `dst_label` node keyed by
/// the same candidate spec the non-via path probes. A via-hop rule evaluates its
/// predicate between the **via** node and the dst, so probing that side with the
/// via node's property values is the exact analogue of what `compute_desired`
/// does with the src node's — the same index, the same spec, one node
/// substituted. Any destination the probe drops cannot satisfy the predicate,
/// for the same reason it cannot on the non-via path.
///
/// `None` falls back to evaluating every `dst_label` node, which is what this
/// function did before the index was maintained for via-hop rules. The fallback
/// is also taken for `KeyMatch`-rooted predicates, whose candidates are resolved
/// by id lookup rather than through `by_key` (see `compute_desired`).
///
/// Only `on_node_changed_via` offers an index, because only there is the index
/// known to be populated: it runs after the lazy-init guard in
/// `on_node_changed_inner`, which rebuilds every rule's index before any hook
/// fires. The rebuild and node-deletion paths pass `None` — an index they have
/// not established is populated would narrow to nothing and retract a source's

    // compute_desired (~246): returns a BTreeMap<(u32,u32),f64> for ONE source
    //   node against all matching candidates from the dst-side index.  For a
    //   FieldEqual rule with 400 Org dsts all sharing city="austin", each call
    //   returns at most 400 pairs.  The per-source map is dropped after
    //   filter_src_top_k consumes it.
    //
    // compute_desired_via (~452): similar per-anchor scope; not exercised here.
    //
    // compute_full_desired (~945): TEST-ONLY reference implementation.  Iterates
    //   every src node and calls compute_desired, extending a GLOBAL BTreeMap.
    //   For 400 Person × 400 Org this accumulates 160 000 pairs — the full
    //   cross-product — before returning.  This is the memory wall the streaming
    //   rewrite was designed to eliminate.
    //
    // apply_streaming_create_top_k (~1106): the production path for
    //   max_edges=Some(k).  Calls compute_desired per src (≤400 pairs), passes
    //   ownership to filter_src_top_k (truncates to k=5), then drops the map.
    //   The largest map alive at any instant is one per-src BTreeMap of ≤400
    //   entries — never the 160 000-pair global map.
    //
    // filter_src_top_k (~626): runs BEFORE compute_full_desired is ever called
    //   (compute_full_desired is dead code in the production path).  It truncates
    //   the per-source map to k entries BEFORE apply_per_src_top_k sees it.
    //   Conclusion: filter_src_top_k IS applied per-source before any global map
    //   extension; compute_full_desired does NOT participate in create_rule.
    //
    // Expected test behaviour:
    //   The production path (apply_streaming_create_top_k) yields peak ≈ 400
    //   (one per-src BTreeMap).  The assertion bound is 400*5*4 = 8 000 — well
    //   below the 160 000 cross-product.  The test therefore PASSES with the
    //   current streaming code, confirming the fix is in place.
    //
    //   If someone reverts the streaming path and re-introduces a global
    //   compute_full_desired call inside create_rule, peak would reach 160 000
    //   and the assertion would FAIL — which is the regression this test guards.
