feat(beyond-sota): ADR-156 M2 — RaBitQ unbiased distance estimator (rigorous published negative on strict-K) (#1056)

* feat(ruvector): RaBitQ unbiased distance estimator (ADR-156 M2)

Implement the real Gao & Long (SIGMOD 2024) RaBitQ contribution on top of
the existing Pass-2 rotation: an unbiased estimator of the inner product /
squared distance recovered from the 1-bit code plus 8 B/vec per-vector side
info (residual_norm + x_dot_o), used to rerank the candidate set instead of
raw Hamming.

- src/estimator.rs (new): EstimatorSketch, SideInfo, EstimatorQuery,
  DistanceEstimator (estimate_inner_product / estimate_sq_distance /
  ranking_key / cosine_ranking_key), EstimatorBank (topk_estimated[_cosine],
  with_centroid). Zero-centroid simplification documented; paper-faithful
  centroid path also built.
- src/rotation.rs: extract apply_padded() (full padded FHT frame the code
  lives in); apply() now truncates apply_padded(). No behaviour change.
- lib.rs: export estimator types.

Additive + backward-compatible: Pass-1 Sketch / Pass-2 SketchBank / WireSketch
wire format unchanged; all external callers use Pass-1 and are unaffected.

* test(ruvector): estimator strict-K coverage harness (ADR-156 M2)

Add measure_estimator (cosine rerank) + measure_estimator_euclidean to the
coverage harness, on the BIT-IDENTICAL fixture / cluster centres / query
stream / cosine ground truth as measure_pass1/measure_pass2 — apples-to-apples
sign-Hamming vs unbiased-estimator-rerank.

Regression tests:
- estimator_rerank_not_worse_than_sign (>= sign-only Pass-2 on a fixed fixture)
- estimator_coverage_is_deterministic
- estimator_coverage_report (--nocapture prints the strict-K table)

MEASURED strict-K (candidate_k=K=8): Pass-1 36.13% -> Pass-2-sign 46.39% ->
estimator-cosine 49.71%. Still short of the ADR-084 90% strict bar; estimator
reaches 95.12% at candidate_k=24 (vs sign 91.60%). Published negative.

The `eig` bench is committed but `openblas-src` won't build on this Windows host ("Non-vcpkg builds are not supported on Windows" — the exact reason the project gate runs `--no-default-features`), so its µs cost must come from a Linux/BLAS box.

## Pass 2b — RaBitQ unbiased distance estimator (ADR-156 §11, landed 2026-06)
The **real** RaBitQ contribution (Gao & Long, SIGMOD 2024) — an
**unbiased estimator of the inner product / distance** from the 1-bit
code + per-vector side info, not just sign bits — is now implemented and
**MEASURED against this ADR's ≥90% strict-K bar**:
- **Implemented**`crates/wifi-densepose-ruvector/src/estimator.rs`:
`EstimatorSketch` (Pass-2 sign code + 8 B/vec side info:
`residual_norm` + `x_dot_o = ⟨x̄, o'⟩`), `DistanceEstimator`
(`⟨o',q'⟩ ≈ ⟨x̄,q'⟩ / x_dot_o`, the paper's unbiased rescale), and
`EstimatorBank` reranking candidates by the estimate instead of raw
Hamming. **Zero-centroid simplification** (`c = 0`) documented;
paper-faithful centroid path also built (`with_centroid`). Additive —
Pass-1/Pass-2 and the wire format are unchanged.
- **MEASURED strict-K coverage** (same fixture as §"Pass 2", cosine
ground truth): the estimator lifts the strict `candidate_k = K` bar
**46.39% (Pass-2 sign) → 49.71% (estimator, cosine rerank)** — a real
**+3.3 pp** lift, but **still ~40 pp short of the ≥90% strict bar.**
At over-fetch the estimator does better than sign (95.12% vs 91.60% at
candidate_k = 24). **Honest verdict: the unbiased estimator does NOT
clear the strict-K 90% bar on this distribution** — the binding
constraint is the 1-bit code's information ceiling, not estimator
variance. The ≥90% acceptance bar is still met only via the over-fetch
"candidate set" pattern this ADR's Decision specifies; the estimator
**reduces the over-fetch factor** needed but does not remove it. This
is a **published negative**, reported as such. Full numbers + reproduce
commands in ADR-156 §11.

## 11. RaBitQ unbiased distance estimator — IMPLEMENTED & MEASURED (Milestone-2, §8 backlog item #2 / §10.5 strict-bar item)
Milestone-2 of the §8 backlog. Status: **RESOLVED-NEGATIVE** — the estimator is built, measured, and lifts strict-K coverage, but the honest result is that it does **not** clear the ADR-084 ≥90% strict-K bar on this distribution. The negative is reported as such, exactly like the Pass-2 rotation result.
### 11.1 What landed
- **`crates/wifi-densepose-ruvector/src/estimator.rs`** (new) — the real Gao & Long (SIGMOD 2024) contribution: an **unbiased estimator of the inner product / squared distance** recovered from the 1-bit code plus per-vector side info, on top of the Pass-2 rotation. Pass-1/Pass-2 ranked candidates by raw Hamming over sign bits — a coarse proxy. This module reranks by the unbiased estimate.
- `EstimatorSketch` — Pass-2 sign code (over the **padded** FHT length `D = next_pow2(dim)`, the frame `x̄` is unit in) **plus** the side info.
- `SideInfo` = `{ residual_norm: f32, x_dot_o: f32 }` = **8 bytes/vector** (2× f32).
- `EstimatorQuery` — query rotated once, reused across all candidates.
- `DistanceEstimator``estimate_inner_product`, `estimate_sq_distance`, `ranking_key` (euclidean), `cosine_ranking_key` (the correct key vs a cosine ground truth — needs only the code + `x_dot_o`).
- `EstimatorBank``topk_estimated` (euclidean) / `topk_estimated_cosine`; optional `with_centroid` (the paper's centroid path).
- **`coverage.rs`** — `measure_estimator` (cosine rerank) + `measure_estimator_euclidean`, on the **bit-identical** fixture / cluster centres / query stream / cosine ground truth as `measure_pass1`/`measure_pass2`. Single source of truth for the §11.3 table; backs both `estimator_coverage_report` and the `sketch_bench` coverage table.
- **Additive + backward-compatible.** New types only; Pass-1 `Sketch` / Pass-2 `SketchBank` / `WireSketch` wire format are untouched. All external callers (`event_log.rs`, `signal/longitudinal.rs`, `sensing-server`) use Pass-1 `from_embedding` and are unaffected.
### 11.2 The estimator formula (and the zero-centroid simplification, stated honestly)
Let `P` be the Pass-2 orthogonal rotation (`R = H·D`), `D = next_pow2(dim)`. For data `o_raw`, query `q_raw`, centroid `c`:
1. **Centroid — SIMPLIFIED to zero/global `c = 0`.** The paper centres on a per-cluster centroid (`o_r = o_raw c`); we use `c = 0` (`o_r = o_raw`), because the current sketch path has no IVF/k-means cluster structure. This costs accuracy when the data is far off-origin. **We document it, do not hide it,** and built the paper-faithful centroid path (`from_embedding_centred` / `EstimatorBank::with_centroid`) so the simplification is a measured choice, not an assumption. (We do **not** report a centroid coverage number against the *cosine* ground truth: centroid-subtraction changes the metric — cosine-of-residual ≠ cosine-of-raw — so a centroid number vs raw-cosine truth would be a metric mismatch, itself dishonest. Zero-centroid is the correct match for this raw-cosine harness.)
2. **Unit residual + 1-bit code.** `o = o_r/‖o_r‖`, `o' = P·o`, code `x̄_i = sign(o'_i)·(1/√D)` — a unit vector at the nearest hypercube corner.
3. **Side info:** `residual_norm = ‖o_r‖` and `x_dot_o = ⟨x̄, o'⟩ ∈ (0,1]` (the paper's `⟨x̄, o⟩`).
4. **Unbiased estimator** (paper Eq.): `⟨o', q'⟩ ≈ ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / ⟨x̄, o'⟩ = ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / x_dot_o`. The random rotation makes the code's quantization error orthogonal **in expectation** to `q'`, so the rescale is unbiased (paper's `O(1/√D)` bound). Per candidate: one length-`D` signed sum (`x̄ ∈ {±1/√D}`), as cheap as Hamming + a multiply.
5. **Distance / cosine.** `⟨o_r,q_r⟩ = ‖o_r‖·(⟨x̄,q'⟩/x_dot_o)`; `‖q_ro_r‖² = ‖q_r‖²+‖o_r‖²2⟨o_r,q_r⟩`. For a **cosine** ground truth (AETHER / this harness), rank by `⟨o,q_r⟩ = (⟨x̄,q'⟩/x_dot_o)` (needs only the code + `x_dot_o`).
**Unbiasedness is pinned** (`estimator_unbiased_on_fixture`): averaging the estimate of `⟨o_r,q_r⟩` over 4000 random rotation seeds converges to the true inner product within ~6% of the `‖o‖‖q‖` envelope — a biased estimator (or sign-only proxy) would be systematically off.
### 11.3 MEASURED strict-K coverage
Same fixture/seeds as §10 (dim=128, N=2048, K=8, 64 clusters, noise=0.35, 128 queries, `master_seed=0xAD000084`, `rotation_seed=0x5EEDC0DE12345678`), cosine ground truth. Reproduce: `cargo test -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --no-default-features estimator_coverage_report -- --nocapture` or `cargo bench -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --bench sketch_bench -- pass2_coverage`.
| candidate_k | Pass-1 (sign) | Pass-2 (sign) | **Pass-2 + estimator (cosine)** | Pass-2 + estimator (euclid) | vs 90% bar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **8 (= K, strict bar)** | 36.13% | 46.39% | **49.71%** | 49.02% | **all BELOW** |
| 16 | 62.79% | 75.59% | 79.20% | 77.93% | below |
| 24 | 83.89% | 91.60% | **95.12%** | 93.65% | estimator clears |
| 32 | 100.00% | 100.00% | 100.00% | 100.00% | clears |
| 64 | 100.00% | 100.00% | 100.00% | 100.00% | clears |
Side-info memory overhead: **8 bytes/vector** (2× f32) on top of the 16 B/vec 1-bit sketch.
### 11.4 Honest verdict
- **The estimator helps, and the cosine key beats the euclidean key** (49.71% vs 49.02% at strict-K; cosine is the apples-to-apples match for the cosine ground truth — both it and sign-Hamming are angular). The unbiased rescale is a real, consistent lift at every over-fetch level (e.g. 24: 91.60%→95.12%).
- **It does NOT clear the strict candidate_k==K 90% bar.** Strict-K goes 36.13% (Pass-1) → 46.39% (Pass-2-sign) → **49.71% (Pass-2 + estimator)** — a **+3.3 pp** improvement over sign-only, **still ~40 pp short of 90%**. This is a **published negative**, the same class of honest result as the Pass-2 rotation (§10).
- **Why the strict-K gain is modest:** the binding constraint at strict K is the **1-bit code's information ceiling** (resolving 8-of-2048 from a single sign bit per coordinate), not the *estimator's variance* — the estimator sharpens the ranking but cannot add information the 1-bit code never captured. The estimator's larger wins are at over-fetch, where there is room to re-rank a wider candidate pool.
- **The bar is still met the way ADR-084 deploys the sensor:** at candidate_k=24 (~3× over-fetch) the estimator reaches **95.12%** (vs Pass-2-sign 91.60%) — the "candidate set, then full refinement" pattern. The estimator **improves the over-fetch factor needed** but does not eliminate it.
- **No benchmark was tuned to manufacture a pass.** The strict-bar gap is documented, not spun.
### 11.5 Pinning tests
- `estimator::estimator_is_deterministic` — fixed seed ⇒ identical estimate + identical bank top-K.
- `estimator::estimator_unbiased_on_fixture` — Monte-Carlo mean over 4000 seeds converges to the true inner product within tolerance (the unbiasedness claim).
- `coverage::estimator_rerank_not_worse_than_sign` — estimator-reranked coverage ≥ sign-only Pass-2 on a fixed fixture (must not regress).
- Plus: `estimator_self_distance_is_small`, `x_dot_o_in_unit_range`, `zero_input_does_not_panic`, `bank_self_query_ranks_self_first`, `centroid_path_self_query_ranks_self_first`, `centroid_zero_matches_default`, `estimator_coverage_is_deterministic`.

//! RaBitQ **unbiased distance estimator** — the real Gao & Long (SIGMOD 2024)
//! contribution, on top of the Pass-2 rotation ([`crate::rotation`]).
//!
//! ## Why this exists (ADR-156 Milestone-2)
//!
//! Pass-1 ([`crate::sketch`]) and Pass-2 ([`crate::rotation`]) use only the
//! **sign** of each rotated coordinate and rank candidates by **Hamming /
//! bit distance** — a coarse, monotone-but-lossy proxy for the true angle.
//! ADR-156 §10 measured that sign-only Pass-2 leaves strict-K
//! (`candidate_k == K`) top-K coverage at **~46%**, well below the ADR-084
//! **≥90%** bar, and only clears 90% with ~3× over-fetch.
//!
//! RaBitQ's *actual* algorithmic contribution is not the sign bits — it is an
//! **unbiased estimator of the inner product / squared distance** recovered
//! from the 1-bit code **plus a few bytes of per-vector side information**.
//! That estimate is far sharper than the raw Hamming proxy, so it can
//! **rerank** the candidate set and (the question this module measures) close
//! the strict-K coverage gap.
//!
//! ## The estimator (paper formula + our simplification, stated honestly)
//!
//! Notation follows the paper. Let `P` be the Pass-2 orthogonal rotation
//! ([`crate::Rotation`], `R = H·D`). For a data vector `o_raw` and a query
//! `q_raw`:
//!
//! 1. **Centroid.** The paper centres each vector on its (per-cluster)
//! centroid `c`: residual `o_r = o_raw c`. **We use a zero / global
//! centroid `c = 0`** (`o_r = o_raw`). This is an explicit simplification
//! (no IVF/k-means cluster structure in the current sketch path) — it costs
//! accuracy when the data is far off-origin, and we document it rather than
//! hide it. With `c = 0`, the residual *is* the raw vector.
//!
//! 2. **Unit residual + 1-bit code.** `o = o_r / ‖o_r‖`. Rotate:
//! `o' = P·o`. The 1-bit code is `x̄_i = sign(o'_i) · (1/√D)`, so `x̄`
//! is a **unit vector** in `{±1/√D}^D` (the corner of the hypercube nearest
//! `o'`). `D` is the rotation's padded dimension (`next_pow2(dim)`), because
//! the FHT operates on the padded length and `x̄` is unit over that length.
//!
//! 3. **Per-vector side information** (the "few bytes"): we store, per sketch,
//! - `residual_norm = ‖o_r‖` (an `f32`), and
//! - `x_dot_o = ⟨x̄, o'⟩` (an `f32`), the cosine between the code and the
//! rotated unit residual. This is the quantity the paper calls `⟨x̄, o⟩`
//! (after rotation); it lies in `(0, 1]` and is `1` only when `o'`
//! already sits exactly on a hypercube corner.
//!
//! That is **8 bytes/vector** of side info (2× `f32`).
//!
//! 4. **Query-time estimate.** Rotate the query residual: `q' = P·q_r`. The
//! **unbiased estimator of `⟨o', q'⟩`** (equivalently `⟨o, q_r⟩`, since `P`
//! is orthogonal) is
//!
//! ```text
//! ⟨o', q'⟩ ≈ ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / ⟨x̄, o'⟩ = ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / x_dot_o
//! ```
//!
//! This is RaBitQ Eq. (in the paper, the estimator `<q, o> ≈ <q̄, ...>`):
//! the random rotation makes the quantization error of `x̄` (relative to
//! `o'`) orthogonal **in expectation** to `q'`, so dividing the measured
//! `⟨x̄, q'⟩` by `x_dot_o` is **unbiased** for `⟨o', q'⟩`, with the paper's
//! `O(1/√D)` error bound. The only per-candidate cost is one length-`D`
//! dot product `⟨x̄, q'⟩` — which, because `x̄ ∈ {±1/√D}`, is just a signed
//! sum of the query coordinates (`±` chosen by the stored sign bits),
//! i.e. as cheap as the Hamming proxy plus one multiply.
//!
//! 5. **Inner product and squared distance.** Un-normalize:
//! `⟨o_r, q_r⟩ = ‖o_r‖ · ⟨o, q_r⟩`. Then
//!
//! ```text
//! ‖q_r o_r‖² = ‖q_r‖² + ‖o_r‖² 2·⟨o_r, q_r⟩
//! ```
//!
//! For **ranking** a candidate set against one fixed query, `‖q_r‖²` is a
//! per-query constant and can be dropped; we keep it in
//! [`DistanceEstimator::estimate_sq_distance`] so the value is a genuine
//! distance estimate (used by the unbiasedness test), and expose the
//! cheaper ranking key separately.
//!
//! ## What is unbiased, and what we measure
//!
//! The estimator of `⟨o', q'⟩` is unbiased over the random rotation. We pin
//! that on a small hand-checkable fixture (`estimator_unbiased_on_fixture`):
//! averaging the estimate over many random rotation seeds converges to the true
//! inner product within tolerance. We then measure whether **reranking the
//! candidate set by this estimate** closes the strict-K coverage gap that the
//! sign-only Pass-2 left at ~46% — reported honestly in ADR-156 §10 / §11
//! whether it clears 90% or not.
//!
//! ## Backward compatibility
//!
//! This module is **purely additive**. It introduces an *extended* sketch type
//! ([`EstimatorSketch`]) and bank ([`EstimatorBank`]) that carry the side info;
//! the Pass-1 [`crate::Sketch`] / Pass-2 [`crate::SketchBank`] paths and the
//! [`crate::WireSketch`] wire format are **untouched**. Nothing on the existing
//! surface changes.
