strip = true
panic = "abort"
```

**Profile-Guided Optimization**:
```bash
# Step 1: Build instrumented
RUSTFLAGS="-Cprofile-generate=/tmp/pgo-data" cargo build --release

# Step 2: Run workload
./target/release/ruvector-bench

# Step 3: Merge data
llvm-profdata merge -o /tmp/pgo-data/merged.profdata /tmp/pgo-data

# Step 4: Build optimized
