This product bundles a vendored snapshot of NumKong

  Copyright (c) 2024-2026 Ash Vardanian and contributors.
  Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

The NumKong source tree lives under native/numkong/ and is compiled into
the private extension module `colbandit._kernel`. The upstream LICENSE file
is preserved at native/numkong/LICENSE.

Col-Bandit adds:
  * native/numkong/python/colbandit.c   — the `colbandit_flat` entry point
    implementing progressive elimination on top of NumKong's SIMD MaxSim
    kernels.
  * Renamed module-init symbol (PyInit_numkong -> PyInit__kernel) so that
    Col-Bandit can ship the kernel as a private submodule without colliding
    with upstream `pip install numkong`.

No other functional changes were made to the vendored NumKong sources.
