What this task asks for
Complete the Python extension so portfolio risk and return match the baseline within 1e-10 and run at least 1.2 times faster at scale. Compute sqrt(x^T S x) and x^T r. Match the Python baseline within 1e-10. Run at least 1.2× faster for 5,000 or more assets. Support portfolios up to 8,000 assets.
