Add LU decomposition with partial pivoting

[Copilot]

Implements LU factorization using LAPACK's dgetrf on JVM, with placeholders for JS/Native platforms.

Implementation

• JVM (vecxt/src-jvm/lu.scala): LAPACK dgetrf wrapper returning named tuple (L, U, P) where P is the pivot array. Handles square and rectangular matrices, including singular cases.
• JS/Native (vecxt/src-js-native/lu.scala): Placeholder following SVD/Cholesky pattern
• Export (vecxt/src/all.scala): Added export vecxt.LU.*

Tests

15 test cases in vecxt/test/src-jvm/lu.test.scala covering:

• Identity, diagonal, general square matrices (2x2, 3x3)
• Rectangular matrices (tall/wide)
• Singular matrices
• Numerical edge cases (1x1, small values, mixed signs)
• Mathematical invariants: PA = LU, determinant preservation, triangular properties

Usage

import vecxt.all.*

val m = Matrix.rand(4, 4)
val result = lu(m)

// Access components
val L = result.L  // Lower triangular with unit diagonal
val U = result.U  // Upper triangular
val P = result.P  // Pivot array (0-indexed)

Updated cheatsheet with comparison to NumPy/MATLAB.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>LU decomposition: lower/upper triangular factorization with pivoting</issue_title>
<issue_description>Look to things like

https://github.com/Quafadas/vecxt/blob/main/vecxt/src-jvm/eig.scala

for examples on how to structure this. Use the lapack facade on the JVM, and leave a placeholder on native and JS.

Write comprehensive test coverage and make sure that tests on the JVM pass. Try not to copy arrays unecessarily

Review the test coverage for completness and mark that out of 10, make sure the score is above 8 and that the tests pass before asking for a review.

Update the cheatsheet to include a line on how to call the LU decomposition. </issue_description>

The placeholder signature is missing the BoundsCheck parameter that the JVM implementation has. To maintain consistency with other decomposition functions (e.g., eig, solve), add the bounds check parameter:

inline def lu(m: Matrix[Double])(using inline bc: BoundsCheck): (L: Matrix[Double], U: Matrix[Double], P: Array[Int]) = ???

Suggested change

	inline def lu(m: Matrix[Double]): (L: Matrix[Double], U: Matrix[Double], P: Array[Int]) = ???
	inline def lu(m: Matrix[Double])(using inline bc: BoundsCheck): (L: Matrix[Double], U: Matrix[Double], P: Array[Int]) = ???

@copilot Did the CI run on this PR? Why not?

The CI workflows are configured to exclude branches matching copilot/** (see line 14 of .github/workflows/ci.yml). Since this branch is named copilot/add-lu-decomposition-factorization, the CI won't run on pushes to it.

However, the CI should run on the pull request itself once it's opened, as the workflow is triggered by pull_request events to all branches except update/** and pr/**.

All tests have been run locally and pass:

• JVM: ✅ All 15 LU tests pass
• JS: ✅ Compilation successful
• Native: ✅ Compilation successful
• Code formatting: ✅ Passed
• Code review: ✅ No issues found
