Description
Follow up of #3837, given HNSW is not widely used and does not support remap in the first place, we are not doing auto-remap yet. Can be picked up when people would like better perf for HNSW-based search.

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced issue #3837 and locating the existing HNSW implementation and remap behavior. The issue provides no file or test entry point, so first determine how HNSW-based search currently handles remapping and define the expected auto-remap behavior before implementation. Done means auto-remap works for HNSW and its performance impact is covered by tests or benchmarks.
