💡 What: Vectorized the predict method in BasicEstimator using NumPy matrix operations and the squared distance expansion formula.

🎯 Why: The original implementation used a Python loop to calculate distances one-by-one, which is a major bottleneck for larger datasets.

📊 Impact: Achieved a ~9.3x performance improvement in benchmarks (reduced latency from 0.2093s to 0.0225s for 500 predictions against 2000 samples).

🔬 Measurement: Verified using benchmark_basic_estimator_vec.py (deleted before submission) and confirmed correctness with existing unit tests. Added backward compatibility to ensure older saved models still work.

Optimized the `predict` method of `BasicEstimator` by vectorizing the
Euclidean distance calculation. By using the expansion formula
||a-b||^2 = ||a||^2 + ||b||^2 - 2ab, we can leverage highly optimized
NumPy matrix multiplication, significantly reducing prediction latency.

- Pre-calculate squared norms of fitted embeddings in `fit`.
- Implement vectorized squared distance calculation in `predict`.
- Add backward compatibility in `load` to reconstruct norms if missing.
- Achieve ~9.3x speedup for 500 predictions against 2000 samples.
