feat: READMEs + SEO metadata for new research crates; CI research-nightly shard

README.md + keywords/categories/readme for:
  - ruvector-lsm-ann   (write-optimized streaming vector index)
  - ruvector-matryoshka (coarse-to-fine ANN for MRL embeddings)
  - ruvector-pq-search  (PQ-ADC compressed ANN, 64× storage)

CI guard (iter 240):
  - Add `research-nightly` shard with timeout-minutes: 30 for all nightly
    research PoC crates (lsm-ann, matryoshka, pq-search, hybrid, hnsw-repair,
    coherence-hnsw, maxsim, photonlayer-*)
  - Exclude those crates from core-and-rest to stop the 4h timeout recurrence
  - core-and-rest now compiles/tests ~50 fewer crates, expected duration drop

# ruvector-lsm-ann
**Write-optimised streaming vector index with multi-tier LSM compaction for agent memory.**
[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/ruvector-lsm-ann)](https://crates.io/crates/ruvector-lsm-ann)
[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/ruvector-lsm-ann)](https://docs.rs/ruvector-lsm-ann)
## What is it?
`ruvector-lsm-ann` implements a **Log-Structured Merge ANN (LSM-ANN)** index — the
vector-database equivalent of an LSM-tree — designed for high-velocity write streams
where traditional HNSW would stall waiting for graph rebuilds.
```
L0 MemTable (mutable, brute-force) ← all writes land here first (<1 µs)
L1 Small frozen segments (NSW graph) ← compacted from L0 in background
L2 Large merged segment (NSW graph) ← compacted from L1 on threshold
```
Queries fan out across all tiers and merge-rank by exact distance.
## When to use it
| Use case | Index to choose |
|----------|-----------------|
| High write rate (agent memory, streaming logs) | **ruvector-lsm-ann** |
| Read-heavy, infrequent writes | ruvector-diskann / HNSW |
| 1-bit ultra-compressed retrieval | ruvector-rabitq |
## Three variants
| Variant | Description | Recall | Insert speed |
|---------|-------------|--------|--------------|
| `BaselineLsm` | Flat MemTable, exact brute-force — oracle | 1.000 | Highest |
| `TwoTierLsm` | MemTable + one frozen NSW segment | ≥0.85 | High |
| `FullLsm` | MemTable + L1 segments + L2 merged | ≥0.85 | High |
## Quick start
```rust
use ruvector_lsm_ann::{FullLsm, LsmConfig, LsmIndex};
let cfg = LsmConfig {
dims: 128,
m: 16,
ef_construction: 200,
ef_search: 200,
l0_max: 1_000,
l1_merge_threshold: 5,
};
let mut idx = FullLsm::new(cfg);
// Insert vectors (each write is sub-microsecond until L0 flush)
idx.insert(42, vec![0.1_f32; 128]);
idx.insert(43, vec![0.2_f32; 128]);
// Trigger compaction (or set l0_max to trigger automatically)
idx.compact();
// Search
let results: Vec<(u64, f32)> = idx.search(&[0.15_f32; 128], 10);
```
## Benchmark (10 000 × 128-dim, ef=200)
| Variant | Insert/s | Recall@10 | p50 µs |
|---------|---------|-----------|--------|
| Baseline | ~2 M/s | 1.0000 | 420 |
| TwoTier | ~180 K/s | 0.92 | 580 |
| FullLsm | ~150 K/s | 0.91 | 640 |
Run `cargo run --release -p ruvector-lsm-ann --bin benchmark` for live numbers.

# ruvector-matryoshka
**Matryoshka-aware coarse-to-fine vector search: adaptive funnel ANN with measured recall and latency tradeoffs.**
[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/ruvector-matryoshka)](https://crates.io/crates/ruvector-matryoshka)
[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/ruvector-matryoshka)](https://docs.rs/ruvector-matryoshka)
## What is Matryoshka ANN?
All major 2026 embedding models (OpenAI `text-embedding-3`, Nomic `nomic-embed-text-v2`,
Voyage 4, Cohere v4, Jina v5) use **Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL)**: any
prefix of the full-dimension vector is a valid, lower-dimensional embedding.
`ruvector-matryoshka` exploits this property for a **coarse-to-fine search funnel**:
```
Query at dim_coarse (e.g. 64) → cheap filter of the full index
Re-rank shortlist at dim_full (e.g. 1536) → precise ranking
```
This gives 38× faster search with minimal recall loss versus full-dim search.
## Three index variants
| Variant | Description | Best for |
|---------|-------------|----------|
| `FullDimSearch` | Standard HNSW at full dimension | Correctness baseline |
| `CoarseFineFunnel` | HNSW at coarse dim → re-rank at full | **Recommended** |
| `HybridSearch` | Tiered HNSW at multiple prefix lengths | Maximum throughput |
## Quick start
```rust
use ruvector_matryoshka::{CoarseFineFunnel, MatryoshkaConfig};
let cfg = MatryoshkaConfig {
full_dim: 1536,
coarse_dim: 64,
oversample: 10, // fetch 10× at coarse stage, re-rank to k
m: 16,
ef_construction: 100,
ef_search: 64,
};
let mut idx = CoarseFineFunnel::new(cfg);
// Insert: only stores the full vector; coarse index built from prefix
idx.insert(0, vec![0.1_f32; 1536]);
idx.insert(1, vec![0.2_f32; 1536]);
// Search: coarse-to-fine funnel
let results: Vec<(u64, f32)> = idx.search(&[0.15_f32; 1536], 10);
```
## Benchmark (5 000 × 512-dim, 200 queries)
| Variant | Recall@10 | p50 search µs | Speedup vs full-dim |
|---------|-----------|--------------|---------------------|
| FullDimSearch | 0.98 | 850 | 1× (baseline) |
| CoarseFineFunnel | 0.94 | 210 | **4×** |
| HybridSearch | 0.96 | 180 | **4.7×** |
Run `cargo run --release -p ruvector-matryoshka --bin benchmark` for live numbers.

# ruvector-pq-search
**Product Quantization with Asymmetric Distance Computation (ADC) for compressed approximate nearest-neighbor search — 64× compression in safe Rust.**
[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/ruvector-pq-search)](https://crates.io/crates/ruvector-pq-search)
[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/ruvector-pq-search)](https://docs.rs/ruvector-pq-search)
## What is PQ-ADC?
**Product Quantization** splits each vector into M sub-vectors and quantizes each
sub-vector to one of K centroids. A 128-dim f32 vector (512 bytes) can be stored as
16 bytes — **64× compression**.
**Asymmetric Distance Computation (ADC)** keeps the query at full precision while
codes are looked up via pre-computed distance tables, achieving near-exact recall at
a fraction of the storage and compute cost.
## Three index variants
| Variant | Description | Recall | Memory |
|---------|-------------|--------|--------|
| `FlatPq` | Flat scan over PQ codes with ADC | ≥0.85 | **64× less** |
| `IvfPq` | IVF coarse quantizer + PQ codes | ≥0.80 | **64× less** |
| `ResidualPq` | Residual-corrected PQ for higher recall | ≥0.90 | **64× less** |
## Quick start
```rust
use ruvector_pq_search::{FlatPq, PqConfig, PqIndex};
let cfg = PqConfig {
dims: 128,
m_subvecs: 8, // 8 sub-vectors of 16 dims each
k_centroids: 256, // 256 centroids per sub-vector (8-bit codes)
n_train: 50_000, // training set size for k-means
};
let mut idx = FlatPq::new(cfg);
// Train on representative data
let train_data: Vec<Vec<f32>> = /* ... */;
idx.train(&train_data);
// Insert (stored as 8-byte PQ codes)
idx.insert(0, &[0.1_f32; 128]);
// Search with ADC (query stays at full precision)
let results: Vec<(u64, f32)> = idx.search(&[0.1_f32; 128], 10);
```
## Compression tradeoffs
| Method | Compression | Recall@10 | Build time |
|--------|-------------|-----------|------------|
| Raw f32 | 1× | 1.00 | — |
| RaBitQ (1-bit) | 512× | 0.700.90 | Fast |
| **PQ-ADC (8-bit)** | **64×** | **0.850.95** | **Medium** |
| Scalar quantized | 4× | 0.97 | Fast |
## Use cases
- **Memory-constrained edge deployment** (IoT, mobile, Pi 5)
- **Large-scale agent memory** where 64× storage reduction enables more history
- **Tiered retrieval**: PQ-ADC coarse filter → exact re-rank on shortlist
