LGTM. The rerank implementation is aligned with the Java behavior, keeps the expected score ordering semantics, and the follow-up optimization avoids unnecessary allocations and full sorts. The accidental README change has been removed, and the check job is now passing.

Purpose
This pull request adds rerank support for vector index search, aligned with the Java implementation. When a positive refine factor is configured, the index search first retrieves a larger candidate set and then reranks those candidates by reading raw vectors and computing exact scores.

This change adds vector search option aliases for rerank/refine factor. It does not change the storage format.
