Add constraint support so that optimization problems with constraints
(e.g., "model size < 100MB") prefer feasible solutions. Convention:
constraint value <= 0.0 means feasible.
- Add constraint_values field to Trial with set_constraints/getter
- Add constraints field to CompletedTrial with is_feasible() method
- Propagate constraints through complete_trial/prune_trial
- Make best_trial() and top_trials() constraint-aware: feasible trials
rank above infeasible, infeasible ranked by total violation
Add a human-readable summary method and Display trait for Study<V>
where V: Display. The summary shows optimization direction, trial
counts (with complete/pruned breakdown), best value, and best
parameters with their labels.
Also derive PartialOrd + Ord on ParamId for deterministic parameter
ordering in summary output.
Add Study::enqueue() to push specific parameter configurations onto a
FIFO queue. The next call to ask()/create_trial() or the next iteration
in optimize() pops the front entry and injects it into the trial so
that suggest_param() returns the pre-filled value instead of sampling.
Parameters missing from an enqueued map fall back to normal sampling,
and once the queue is drained regular sampler-driven trials resume.
Add duration-based variants of all optimization methods that run trials
until a wall-clock deadline rather than for a fixed trial count:
- optimize_until(duration, objective)
- optimize_until_with_callback(duration, objective, callback)
- optimize_until_async(duration, objective)
- optimize_until_parallel(duration, concurrency, objective)
- Add `.name()` builder method on all 5 parameter types for custom labels
- Add `CompletedTrial::get(¶m)` for typed parameter access
- Add `Display` impl on `ParamValue`
- Add prelude module at `optimizer::prelude::*`
- Shadow `_with_sampler` methods on `Study<f64>` so `optimize()` auto-uses
the configured sampler; deprecate `_with_sampler` variants
- Use runtime `Any` downcasting with `trial_factory` to avoid E0592
- Update all examples and tests to use the new API
