/**
 * @file VisionExecutor.hpp
 * @brief Dispatch engine for VisionSequence execution.
 *
 * VisionExecutor::run() is the single entry point for executing a
 * VisionSequence. It maintains per-frame state (previous gray frame for
 * optical flow) and returns a VisionResult carrying both the final pixel
 * image and any structured outputs produced by the terminal step.
 *
 * Scratch storage is owned by the executor as DataVariant slots holding
 * vector<float>. Steps ping-pong between slots via Eigen::Map<ArrayXf>
 * views, accumulating zero heap allocation in steady state at a fixed
 * resolution. Gaussian kernels are cached by sigma across frames.
 *
 * VisionResult::pixel_image is a DataVariant (vector<float>) moved out of
 * a scratch slot. Callers read it via EigenAccess::view<Eigen::VectorXf>()
 * for zero-copy Eigen access, or as_span() for raw float access.

 *
 * Owns a pool of DataVariant scratch slots (each holding vector<float>) sized
 * to the working resolution. Steps read via Eigen::Map<const ArrayXf> and
 * write via Eigen::Map<ArrayXf> into the next slot, then swap indices.
 * No heap allocation occurs in steady state after the first frame at a given
 * resolution.
 *
 * Gaussian kernels are cached by sigma (keyed on bit-exact float) and reused
 * across frames and across the three structure tensor smoothing passes in Harris.
 *
 * One executor instance per pipeline. Not thread-safe.
