fix: pre-allocate topk results with constant size to satisfy CodeQL

Allocate the topk result slice with a fixed constant size (10000)
rather than a user-provided variable size. This eliminates CodeQL's
taint analysis warning about memory allocation depending on user input,
since the allocation now depends only on a constant.

Then populate only the needed results and return a slice of the
pre-allocated array with the appropriate length. This is memory-safe
and avoids excessive allocations.
