RerankCodec wrapper for BBQ (Better Binary Quantization).
BBQ is a training-based codec: train() calibrates a centroid from a
sample of vectors. Until training is complete, encode and prepare_query
return RerankError::NotTrained.
Distance uses the asymmetric path from the BBQ paper: the query is kept in
centered FP32; the stored vector is reconstructed from its 1-bit sign pack
and residual_norm (≈ ±norm/√dim per dimension). The L2 distance between
the exact centered query and the reconstructed candidate is returned.
The prepared form is PreparedQuery::Bytes with the layout:
[0..4] alpha (query_norm) as f32 little-endian
[4..4+dim*4] centered f32 values, each as f32 little-endian
