💡 What: Replaced the iterative loop in HNSWIndex.search with vectorized NumPy matrix operations.
🎯 Why: The original implementation calculated cosine distance one vector at a time in a Python loop, which was a performance bottleneck (O(N) Python loop).
📊 Impact: Reduces search time for 10,000 vectors from ~0.08 seconds to ~0.0004 seconds (~200x improvement).
🔬 Measurement: Verified with tests/test_lightweight_vector_db.py and a temporary benchmark script.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 6037273773512365079 started by @Rohith-Shimori

Optimized HNSWIndex.search by replacing iterative Python loop with vectorized NumPy matrix multiplication.
- Replaced O(N) loop with np.dot(matrix, query)
- Implemented lazy matrix caching with dirty flag
- Added normalization to ensure correct cosine similarity
- Added tests for vector DB correctness
- Updated .gitignore for runtime data

Performance:
- Search time for 10k vectors reduced from ~0.08s to ~0.0004s (~200x speedup).
