### Description

Research direction

Start at DefaultBulkScorer#scoreRange and trace how its virtual calls occur during scoring, especially for scroll queries. Compare the current behavior with the proposed batched approach and verify that scoring results remain unchanged while virtual-call overhead is reduced.
