 * Optimized Louvain community detection algorithm with early pruning and threshold cycling

 * - Leaf node pruning: Skip nodes with degree 1
 * - Importance ordering: Process high-impact nodes first
 * - Threshold cycling: Adaptive convergence thresholds
 * - Early termination: Stop when changes become insignificant
