/**
 * @file RvSample.cpp
 * @brief SQL function `provsql.rv_sample(token, n, prov)`.
 *
 * Returns up to @c n samples from the (possibly conditional) scalar
 * distribution rooted at @c token.  When @c prov resolves to
 * @c gate_one the samples come from the unconditional distribution
 * (one draw per call to @c monteCarloScalarSamples); when @c prov is
 * a non-trivial gate the path switches to MC rejection via
 * @c monteCarloConditionalScalarSamples, with a budget large enough
 * to deliver @c n accepted draws under the @c acceptance_floor
 * heuristic.
 *
 * Result: @c SETOF @c float8 emitted through the Materialize SRF
 * pattern (same shape as @c shapley_all_vars).  The unconditional
 * path always returns exactly @c n rows; the conditional path may
 * return fewer, in which case a @c NOTICE is emitted so the caller
 * can choose to widen the budget by raising
 * @c provsql.rv_mc_samples.
