The merge of origin/hublabel-debug introduced duplicate declarations in the header (lines 439 and 550) and duplicate definitions in the .cpp (lines 631 and 648). Removed the older versions, keeping the ones from hublabel-debug which have better comments and slightly cleaner impl. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

It looks like this brings along more of the other oracle approaches than we need to to implement just the contraction hierarchies and hierarchical hub labeling that actually gets used.

There's also some commented-out code that should be removed, and some documentation comments that ought to be written, some of which are for things I added.

Also, I didn't add a file comment for it, but if it's easy I might port away from Boost to our own data structure for what's now called the "Boost graph", to avoid the dependency. Right now we have Boost in vg only because of the old Vowpal-Wabbit MAPQ recalibration stuff in vgteam/vg#1621 which I don't know actually has any users. If it's not easy it probably wouldn't be worth doing, or at least might not be worth doing now. (Since it's only needed for the construction, we can change later if we want to without invalidating indexes.)

+    for (size_t a = 0; a < handles.size() * 2; a++) {
+      cerr << hhl_query(packed_labels.begin(), rank(1, false), a) << endl;
+    }


This has been debugged now, right? We should probably not print stuff from the tests unless they're built with a define.

pretty sure

We have to turn the other tests back on.

I think I added this, but this could use a constant instead of a magic number.

If we're adding a dependency on Boost, we need to explain that in the README.

 OBJS += $(OBJ_DIR)/vectorizable_overlays.o 
 OBJS += $(OBJ_DIR)/packed_subgraph_overlay.o 
+OBJS += $(OBJ_DIR)/ch.o


So we don't actually need hublabel.o and landmark.o and we can drop their CPP files?
