Fixes #2767. When the first inserted point is the medoid, total_edges is 0 and the two map_offset calls in the reverse-edge pass launch zero blocks. They're now skipped in that case.
Adds a regression test that seeds rand() to hit this case. It fails on main and passes with the fix.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Vamana index construction for batches that contain no edges, avoiding issues in this edge case and helping ensure the resulting graph includes the expected points. Added regression coverage for a build where the first shuffled insertion is selected as the medoid, verifying that the graph retains all 410 points.

Vamana batch insertion skips edge-destination mapping and unique-index initialization when the reverse-edge batch is empty. A regression test selects a seed that makes the first shuffled point the medoid, builds an index from 410 16-dimensional points, and checks that the graph has 410 rows.

Changes: Vamana Empty Reverse-Edge Batch

When total_edges is zero, the build skips edge-destination mapping and unique-index initialization. The regression test finds a seed for the first-insert-is-medoid case, builds a 410-point index, and checks that the graph has 410 rows.

The change guards the reported empty reverse-edge mapping path. The remaining concern is limited to test isolation: this test can alter random inputs for later Vamana tests, so merge risk is low with owner awareness.

Explanation

The changes satisfy the coding requirements in #2767. In batched_insert_vamana, both reverse-edge map_offset operations and unique_indices initialization are guarded by total_edges &gt; 0, so an empty reverse-edge batch does not issue a zero-block map launch. The FirstInsertIsMedoid regression test seeds srand() to create the empty first batch and builds a 410-point Vamana index. The test checks successful graph construction.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within #2767. The source guard directly fixes the reported Vamana reverse-edge path. The seed helper, &lt;numeric&gt; include, and regression test provide test support. The copyright-year update has no functional scope impact. No unrelated public API or Java, OpenSearch, concurrent-build, or cuVS changes are shown.

19-32: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert that the test reaches the empty-batch path.

The seed helper matches the current create_insert_permutation and medoid draws. However, the test only checks the final graph extent. A future permutation change can make the selected seed stop making the first inserted point the medoid while the test still passes, so the test would no longer cover the empty-batch path. Add an assertion or test hook that proves this path executed.

When the first inserted point is the medoid, the first batch has no
reverse edges and map_offset launches a kernel with zero blocks,
failing the build with cudaErrorInvalidValue. Guard both calls.

Isolate the process-global RNG state.

If FirstInsertIsMedoid runs before another Vamana test in the same process, that test inherits the global RNG state set by srand(). vamana::build uses that state for both insertion order and medoid selection, so test order can change its behavior. Run this regression in a separate test process or pass a local RNG to the Vamana build.

43:
Isolate the RNG state changed by `srand()` in the `FirstInsertIsMedoid`
regression so it cannot affect other Vamana tests running in the same process.
Run the regression in a separate test process or, if supported by
`vamana::build`, pass it a local RNG; preserve the test’s existing seed and
behavior.
