abstract: Drop-in replacement for BiocNeighbors::findKNN using the jvecfor Java library,
  which builds on the jvector library to leverage the Java Vector API for portable
  SIMD acceleration across AVX2, AVX-512, and ARM NEON hardware. jvecfor/jvector implements
  HNSW-DiskANN approximate search and VP-tree exact search. The package achieves approximately
  2x speedup over Annoy-based search at n >= 50K cells while returning output structurally
  identical to BiocNeighbors, making it suitable for seamless integration into existing
  Bioconductor single-cell workflows. Convenience wrappers delegate shared nearest-neighbor
  (SNN) and k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) graph construction to the bluster package.
