Implements WHERE constraints on the distance column in KNN queries, enabling cursor-based pagination and range queries. Based on upstream PR asg017#166 by Alex Garcia with completion and enhancements. Features: - Supports GT, GE, LT, LE operators on distance column - Works with all vector types (float32, int8, bit) - Compatible with partition keys, metadata, and auxiliary columns - Multiple constraints can be combined (e.g., distance >= 3.0 AND distance <= 6.0) Implementation: - Added VEC0_IDXSTR_KIND_KNN_DISTANCE_CONSTRAINT to idxStr encoding - Distance filtering applied during KNN search before top-k selection - Cast f64 to f32 for comparison to match internal precision Enhancements over original PR: - Fixed variable shadowing in inner loops (i -> j) - Added comprehensive test coverage (15 tests) - Fixed bit/int8 vector type handling in tests - Documented precision handling and pagination caveats 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Alex Garcia <alex@alex.garcia> Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
