//! Scalar Quantization (SQ8) for memory-efficient vector storage.
//!
//! This module implements 8-bit scalar quantization to reduce memory usage by 4x
//! while maintaining >95% recall accuracy.
//!
//! ## Benefits
//!
//! | Metric | f32 | SQ8 |
//! |--------|-----|-----|
//! | RAM/vector (768d) | 3 KB | 770 bytes |
//! | Cache efficiency | Baseline | ~4x better |
//! | Recall loss | 0% | ~0.5-1% |
