velesdb_memory/fused_recall.rs
1//! [`MemoryService::recall_fused`]: vector recall combined with the graph
2//! reach `why()` already walks, re-ranked by [`crate::fusion::fuse`]. Split
3//! out of `service.rs` to keep that file under the crate's NLOC budget; a
4//! child module of `service`, so it freely uses `MemoryService`'s private
5//! fields and methods (`traverse`, `search`, `HUB_FIELD`, …).
