refactor: avoid unnecessary assignment

[Planeshifter]

Description

This pull request:

• Propagates the refactor from 3ceff10 (refactor: avoid unnecessary assignment) to sibling blas/ext/base/*last-index-of packages, collapsing the redundant idx = N - 1 - idx; return idx; sequence into a single return N - 1 - idx;. Target packages:
  • blas/ext/base/dlast-index-of
  • blas/ext/base/slast-index-of

Related Issues

None.

Questions

No.

Other

Validation: pattern search scoped to blas/ext/base/*/lib/ndarray.js, followed by two independent adversarial passes and a style-consistency check confirming each target is textually identical to the source's pre-refactor shape. Deliberately excluded: the equivalent src/main.c sequences in the same packages, since the source commit did not touch C.
