simd-intrinsics

Use when reading auto-vectorization reports, writing SSE2, AVX2, or NEON intrinsics, or fixing vectorization failures. Not for reading the asm itself: use assembly-x86.

# SIMD intrinsics

Let the compiler vectorize first; write intrinsics where it cannot. Every intrinsic code path needs a runtime feature check and a scalar fallback, because the binary runs on CPUs the build machine never saw.

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The task writes SSE2, AVX2, or NEON intrinsics, reads `-Rpass-missed` or `-fopt-info-vec` reports, adds runtime CPU dispatch, or explains why a loop did not vectorize. |
| Authority | Read-only. The skill explains and drafts; edits land through the normal coding path. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | None. |
| Done | The vector path is guarded by a compile-time target and a runtime feature check, the scalar fallback exists, and the speedup is measured on the target machine. |
