…#164) This PR addresses a rare scenario in dynamic indexes where the search buffer may not be populated with enough results. This typically occurs when a large number of vectors have been deleted, resulting in a sparsely connected graph. To ensure robustness, the buffer is now supplemented with additional results when needed. This is a corner case and is not expected to occur frequently, but handling it improves stability and consistency in edge conditions.
