Summary

  • Incremental EXCP / GSPL / PLY stream_decode from files (bounded memory), plus schema-driven stream_encode_to_file
  • Spatial Rust acceleration (DirtyCpu pack/unpack, mmap file streams, binary PLY unpack)
  • Pre-release review blockers: NIF availability registration, stale docs removed from Hex package, streaming/docs/livebook fixes, Accel skip tags, CHANGELOG 0.2.1/0.2.2 notes

Test plan

  • mix test (accel + application tests verified locally)
  • CI green on this PR
  • Tag v0.2.3 triggers Release workflow (NIF artifacts + Hex publish)
  • Confirm GitHub release assets and Hex package 0.2.3

…ntal I/O.

**Behavior**

`source: :file` (or `:auto` path detection): read 16-byte EXCP / 18-byte GSPL header, then one fixed-size record via `IO.binread/2`
Peak memory ≈ header + one record (file handle stays open for the stream lifetime)
In-memory binaries still materialize through `decode/2` (mmap left for a future Rust backend)

**Wiring**

`ExCodecs.Spatial.Stream` forwards `EXCP/GSPL` sources to the codecs — no more full File.read for those formats
Docs updated in `spatial.ex`, `docs/spatial_formats.md`, the spatial guide, and `CHANGELOG` Unreleased

**Usage**
```elixir
ExCodecs.Spatial.stream_decode(path, format: :spatial_binary, source: :file)
|> Stream.take(100)
|> Enum.to_list()
ExCodecs.Spatial.stream_decode(path, format: :gsplat, source: :file)
|> Enum.each(&process/1)
```
Truncation / missing files yield a single `{:error, %ExCodecs.Error{}}` element.

closed #38 - PLY stream_decode (source: :file) — scans until end_header, then yields one vertex at a time (binary: fixed stride via IO.binread; ASCII: line reads). Supports :as / Gaussian auto-detect.

closed #39 - stream_encode_to_file/3 — EXCP and GSPL write a placeholder header, stream records, seek back to patch count. Requires explicit :schema. Spatial.Stream.encode_to_file/3 uses this when schema: + format: :spatial_binary / :gsplat.

closed #40
…plus enumerable_points/1 / enumerable_gaussians/1. Credo is clean and the stream tests pass.
