## Dependencies

### Runtime

- `ruvector-gnn`: Local crate
- `serde_json`: 1.0+ (Serialization)

### Build
- `napi-build`: 2.x (Build script helper)

### Dev
- `@napi-rs/cli`: 2.16+ (Build and publish tools)

## Key Implementation Details

### Type Conversions
- All numeric arrays converted between `Vec<f64>` (JS) and `Vec<f32>` (Rust)
- Nested arrays handled for 2D/3D tensor data
- JSON strings used for complex types (compressed tensors, layer configs)

### Error Handling
- Rust errors converted to JavaScript exceptions
- Validation in constructors (e.g., dropout range check)
- Descriptive error messages

### Memory Management
- NAPI-RS handles memory lifecycle
- No manual memory management needed in JS
- Efficient transfer with minimal copying

## Testing Coverage

- ✅ Constructor validation
- ✅ Forward pass with and without neighbors
- ✅ Serialization/deserialization round-trip
- ✅ Compression with all levels
- ✅ Search with various inputs
- ✅ Edge cases (empty arrays, invalid inputs)
- ✅ Error conditions

## Performance Characteristics

- **Zero-copy**: Where possible, data is not duplicated
- **SIMD**: Inherited from ruvector-gnn implementation
- **Parallel**: GNN operations use rayon for parallelism
- **Optimized**: Release builds with LTO and stripping

## Integration

The bindings are fully integrated into the Ruvector workspace:
- Part of the workspace at `/home/user/ruvector`
- Follows workspace conventions
- Compatible with existing ruvector-gnn crate
- Can be built alongside other workspace members

## Success Metrics
