Expose fastembed_model in config and a model dropdown on Admin → Models.
Persist dimension from the chosen model, require restart to load it, and
align legacy OpenAI default settings so fresh local-embedding installs
start cleanly.
Collapse the multi-strategy entity engine into one benchmarked chunk retrieval path, derive entities from retrieved chunks, and update consumers, docs, and clippy fixes across the workspace.
Unify embedding config, build providers from system settings, and fail
startup when index builds error or time out. Move Surreal assets under
common/db so embeds exclude crate source, and read storage via streams.
