Add check_integrity() method to Python Index class that validates HNSW graph structure including: - Connection validity (no invalid neighbor IDs) - No self-loops - No duplicate connections - No orphan nodes (elements with no inbound connections) Returns dict with: valid, connections_checked, element_count, min_inbound, max_inbound, errors[] This enables CIDX to perform health checks on HNSW indexes.

Summary
Add
check_integrity()method to Python Index class that validates HNSW graph structure.Changes
check_integrity()method to the Python bindings inpython_bindings/bindings.cppReturn Value
Returns a dictionary with:
valid: Boolean indicating if graph passed all checksconnections_checked: Total number of connections validatedelement_count: Number of elements in the indexmin_inbound: Minimum inbound connections for any nodemax_inbound: Maximum inbound connections for any nodeerrors: List of error messages if any issues foundUse Case
This enables applications using hnswlib to perform health checks on HNSW indexes, detecting corruption or structural issues that could affect search quality.
Testing
The method has been tested with real HNSW indexes in the CIDX (Code Indexer) project.
