Description
Bug Description
CAGRA extend operation does not support float16 data type, while other CAGRA operations already support it.
Related Issues/PRs
- #1419 - Initial request for float16 support in CAGRA
- #1429 - Added float16 support for CAGRA build/search operations
Problem
PR #1429 added float16 support to CAGRA build and search operations, but the extend operation was not updated. This creates an inconsistency where users can build and search indices with float16, but cannot extend them.

Research direction
Start by locating CAGRA’s extend implementation and comparing it with the float16 support added for build and search in PR #1429; the issue provides no file or test path. Done means extend accepts float16 data consistently with those operations, with coverage for the float16 extend case.
