PanicException derives from BaseException, so `except Exception` let a
library bug through. Every call from the bindings into the library now
runs under catch_unwind and a panic becomes InternalError (RuntimeError)
naming the object. Tests: a hidden hook panics inside the guard; and the
v4 chunk indexes are compared with h5py from Python — with the library
fix reverted, ds[0:30] of the implicit-index dataset now raises
InternalError instead of aborting the test run.

ds[key] read the whole dataset and sliced it in numpy, and knew six
dtypes. Keys (ints, positive-step slices, Ellipsis, one increasing index
list, compound field names) now map onto hyperslab selections, and the
facade's read_selection bytes become the numpy buffer without a copy
(PyArray::from_vec viewed as the dtype). dtype mapping follows h5py for
all integer/IEEE float widths and byte orders, bool, enum, complex, fixed
and variable-length strings, vlen sequences, opaque, array types and
(nested, padded) compounds; anything it cannot describe exactly is a
TypeError. Attributes return what h5py returns; groups and files gain
the rest of the h5py mapping interface. Reads run under py.detach.
tests/test_read_vs_h5py.py compares >500 reads with h5py 3.16 on an
h5py-written file, checks errors match, that a damaged chunk outside the
selection is never touched, and 8 threads reading at once.

pyproject.toml named the distribution rustyhdf5 while the extension
module is clawhdf5, and the package's tests imported rustyhdf5, so
pytest failed at collection. Distribution, module-name and tests now
agree; the module gains __version__. maturin develop + pytest: 28 pass.

attrs() silently omitted any attribute whose datatype had no AttrValue variant
— including every Python bool, which h5py stores as an enum — plus complex,
compound and reference attributes, and cast unsigned 64-bit arrays to
I64Array so values above i64::MAX came back negative.
- numpy/h5py-style booleans (an enum of exactly FALSE=0 / TRUE=1 over an
integer base) decode as I64 / I64Array of 0/1.
- AttrValue::U64Array keeps unsigned arrays unsigned. Behaviour change: an
unsigned array attribute no longer arrives as I64Array; the netCDF-4 CF
helpers (_FillValue, valid_range) and the Python bindings handle it.
- AttrValue::Raw { datatype, shape, data } carries any other attribute
verbatim (also used when a value fails to decode as its declared type), so
the attribute list is always complete. Decodable with data_read against the
datatype; Python receives {"dtype", "shape", "data"}.
- Both new variants are writable, so attributes round-trip between files.
h5py interop tests cover reading 13 attribute kinds and h5py reading back a
compound and a u64 attribute written by clawhdf5.

Resolves two gaps found in a project-state review:
1. Python build was broken: PyO3/numpy 0.23 caps at Python 3.13 but the
environment has 3.14. Bumped to 0.28 and updated the two breaking APIs
(PyObject -> Py<PyAny>, allow_threads -> detach). The extension module now
imports and round-trips under Python 3.14, unblocking cargo build --workspace.
2. The "HNSW vector search over agent memories" headline was unwired:
clawhdf5-ann had zero dependents and the agent used a linear cosine+BM25 scan.
- clawhdf5-ann is now a live index: insert, mark_deleted (soft delete with a
deleted bitset, traversed but never returned), compact, and a format
version tag (v2) with backward-compatible load of v1 files.
- clawhdf5-agent wires HNSW behind the `hnsw` feature (ON by default). The
index mirrors the cache (node id == cache index) and self-heals: it rebuilds
whenever hnsw_synced_len drifts from cache.len(), so unhooked pushes can't
desync it. Non-indexable stores (no/zero-dim/mixed embeddings) and queries
whose dim doesn't match fall back to the exact linear scan.
- hybrid.rs gains merge_vector_keyword, shared by the linear and HNSW paths.
- tests/hnsw_integration.rs validates recall vs a brute-force oracle plus
insert/delete/batch behaviour.
Disable HNSW for exact search with `--no-default-features --features float16`.
