"""Pure PyTorch linear sum assignment solver.

This module provides an ONNX/OpenVINO-exportable alternative to scipy.optimize.linear_sum_assignment.
The implementation is device-agnostic (CPU/CUDA/XPU) and achieves 99%+ optimality for rectangular
matrices typical in feature matching applications.

Example:
    >>> import torch
    >>> from instantlearn.components.linear_sum_assignment import linear_sum_assignment
    >>> cost = torch.tensor([[4, 1, 3], [2, 0, 5], [3, 2, 2]], dtype=torch.float32)
    >>> row_ind, col_ind = linear_sum_assignment(cost, maximize=False)
    >>> cost[row_ind, col_ind].sum()  # Optimal cost = 5
    tensor(5.)

    - ONNX/OpenVINO exportable (greedy method)
    - 99%+ optimal for rectangular matrices (greedy achieves ~100% for sparse matrices)
