Describe your change:

This PR implements the K-Medoids clustering algorithm using pure Python and NumPy on the Iris dataset.

Key features:

  • Iterative medoid updates to assign points to the nearest medoid
  • Returns final medoids and cluster assignments
  • Handles random initialization with optional seed
  • Optional visualization code included but commented out

Fixes #13488
