Add in-memory CSR (Compressed Sparse Row) graph caching to accelerate graph algorithms by eliminating repeated SQLite I/O. Cache management: - gql_load_graph() - load graph into memory cache - gql_unload_graph() - free cache memory - gql_reload_graph() - refresh cache after modifications - gql_graph_loaded() - check cache status Algorithm changes: - Refactored all 17 graph algorithms to accept optional cached graph - When cache is loaded, algorithms use it automatically - Fallback to SQLite when cache not available Bindings: - Python: graph.load_graph(), unload_graph(), reload_graph(), graph_loaded() - Rust: Graph::load_graph(), unload_graph(), reload_graph(), graph_loaded() Performance (Apple M1 Max): - PageRank: 2.1-2.2x speedup with cache - Label Propagation: 2.0-2.1x speedup - Degree Centrality: 1.7-2.0x speedup Build improvements: - Added install-bundled target for Rust binding tests - Fixed ARM64 detection for macOS (arm64 vs aarch64)
- ADR-0003: Mark as decided - GPU acceleration not pursued - Metal provides no benefit (~1.0x) on Apple Silicon - CPU caching provides 2x speedup with minimal complexity - Document lessons learned from wgpu and Metal experiments - ADR-0004: Archive - GPU threshold config no longer relevant

- Add perf cache-comparison and hop-depth benchmark tasks - Add GPU test task structure (for future use) - Update test-rust to rebuild bundled extension
- Add struct tag to csr_graph typedef for C type compatibility - Remove redundant serde_json import (clippy warning)

Summary
Performance
Benchmarks on Apple M1 Max show 2x speedup with caching enabled:
API
-- Load graph into memory cache
SELECT gql_load_graph();
-- Run algorithms (automatically use cache)
SELECT cypher('RETURN pageRank()');
-- Reload after modifications
SELECT gql_reload_graph();
-- Free cache memory
SELECT gql_unload_graph();
Python/Rust bindings expose equivalent methods: load_graph(), unload_graph(), reload_graph(), graph_loaded().
