feat: hook native sort:topK provider into search result ranking
Adds a swappable sort:topK seam for the find() result-ranking hot path. Brainy ranks candidate results by relevance score then slices to offset+limit; for large candidate sets that is an O(N log N) full sort even though only the page is kept. New utils/resultRanking.ts exposes rankIndicesByScore (top-K index selection) with a JS default (sortTopKIndicesJs) that is byte-identical in ordering to the previous results.sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score) + slice: descending by score, stable ties by original index (ES2019+ stable sort semantics). setSortTopKImplementation lets a native provider (e.g. cortex's Rust partial-sort) replace it; the provider returns indices into a scores array and only has to match the JS index ordering. brainy.ts resolves the sort:topK provider in init() (same pattern as distance:sq8) and wires both relevance-score sort sites in find() through rankIndicesByScore + reorderByIndices. rankIndicesByScore validates a native provider's output (length, range, no duplicates) and falls back to JS on any inconsistency, so a query never returns wrong or duplicated results. No provider registered = unchanged JS behavior. Tests: unit coverage of the dispatcher (JS ordering vs Array.sort across 200 random trials incl. ties, provider routing, and fallback on bad/throwing providers) plus find() integration proving ranking routes through a registered provider, that the provider and JS fallback produce identical ids/scores on the same data, and that pagination requests k = offset + limit with descending ordering.

/**
|
||||
* @module tests/unit/utils/resultRanking
|
||||
* @description Tests for the `sort:topK` result-ranking hook.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Two layers:
|
||||
* 1. Unit — the swappable dispatcher (`rankIndicesByScore` / `setSortTopKImplementation`):
|
||||
* JS default ordering matches `Array.prototype.sort`, a native provider is routed
|
||||
* through, and a misbehaving provider falls back to JS.
|
||||
* 2. Integration — `brain.find()` ranking routes through a registered `sort:topK`
|
||||
* provider, AND the JS fallback (no provider) produces identical results/order.
