[VSJoin-Exec] Final alignment and reproducibility quality gate

[ZeroJustMe]

Goal

Final quality gate for code-paper alignment before submission freeze.

Checklist

• Terminology consistency audit across Abstract/Intro/Ch3/Ch4/Ch5/Conclusion.
• Claim strength audit: remove unsupported absolutes.
• Implementation consistency audit vs current code paths.
• Figure-caption audit: include workload/config boundaries.
• Build/compile gates:
  • CMake build success
  • required Join tests success
  • LaTeX compile success

Required Commands (record outputs)

• cmake --build build -j $(nproc)
• ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
• ./build/bin/test_join_datasource_modes
• cd docs/research-paper-High_Throughput_Streaming_Vector_Similarity_Joins_on_Multicore_Processors && latexmk -pdf -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error main.tex

Acceptance Criteria

• Submission-ready with traceable evidence links for all major claims.
