Fused radius (ball) neighborhood query over a 3D point map with per-query feature
aggregation—common in navigation / manipulation perception (PointNet++-style set
abstraction, local maps around end-effector or goal queries on LiDAR / depth).
Single forward fusion target:
1) pairwise Euclidean distances between each query center and every point,
2) membership in the closed ball of radius ``r``,
3) channel-wise **max** pooling of point features over in-ball neighbors.
Points with no neighbors inside the radius contribute a **zero** feature vector
for that query (instead of ``-inf`` max).
