Estimated code review effort

🎯 5 (Critical) | ⏱️ ~120 minutes

Areas to focus review:

  • IEngine / CpuEngine / GpuEngine: API correctness (axes, keepDims), numeric stability, CPU↔GPU fallbacks, and performance/regression risk.
  • Large layer migrations and ABI-sensitive changes: ILayer/LayerBase GetWeights/GetBiases type changes and public getters updated (verify callers, serialization, JIT/export).
  • Autodiff/backward refactors: inline topological sort correctness, gradient accumulation for multi-branch graphs, and edge-case null/forward-state checks.
  • Vector-search implementations: HNSW insertion/search correctness, IVF build/cluster edge cases, LSH hashing determinism and candidate fallbacks, and result ordering per HigherIsBetter.
  • Tests: validate deterministic seeds, relaxed tolerances, and newly added extensive test suites for correctness and flakiness.

Possibly related PRs

  • ooples/AiDotNet#497 — overlaps with the IEngine/CpuEngine/GpuEngine tensor API expansion and kernel additions.
  • ooples/AiDotNet#474 — related to autodiff infrastructure and TensorOperations helpers used by many refactors.
  • ooples/AiDotNet#524 — touches core vector/tensor types (Vector/VectorBase changes) that intersect with many migrations and tests.

Poem

🐇 I hopped through tensors, hashes and graphs,
I nudged metrics, linked indices in rows,
Engines now hum where old loops once laughed,
Tests chase edge-cases where my carrot grows,
Gentle reviewer, mind the rabbit's toes.

Out of Scope Changes check ⚠️ Warning The raw summary shows significant changes beyond RAG vector search tests, including extensive neural network layer refactors (Matrix<T>/Vector<T> to Tensor<T> migrations), engine operations, activation functions, and other unrelated modifications not covered by the issue #373 objectives. Remove or separate out-of-scope changes (neural network layer refactors, engine operations, activation functions) that are not part of issue #373's RAG vector search test coverage objective. Focus this PR on RAG vector search tests only.
