Trialing Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B (1024-dim, instruct-prefixed queries)
against nomic required code changes at every hardcoded seam; now it's a
config flip plus a reembed_embeddings run.
- EMBEDDING_DIM env (default 768) replaces every hardcoded dim check:
daily summary / calendar / search / location DAOs, Ollama batch
validation, reembed_embeddings
- entities gains the dim guard it never had — a wrong-dim vector
silently kills dedup/recall (cosine over mismatched lengths is 0),
so store None and warn instead
- embed_query / embed_document split with EMBED_QUERY_PREFIX /
EMBED_DOCUMENT_PREFIX (literal \n expanded): retrieval models treat
the two sides differently — nomic wants search_query:/search_document:,
Qwen3 wants Instruct:...\nQuery: on queries only. All query-side
call sites and all corpus writers now declare their side.
- document the contract in CLAUDE.md: change the model or any of these
vars → re-run reembed_embeddings or search is garbage

Queries embedded via llama-swap were searching corpora embedded via
Ollama (measured: spaces diverged). Introduce LocalLlm — the local
Ollama + llama-swap pair with LLM_BACKEND dispatch baked in — and route
all embedding writers through it; anything embedding via a concrete
client reintroduces the bug.
- search_rag: embed the model's query verbatim (no metadata boilerplate),
make date optional — no time-decay when omitted, so "when did X
happen?" queries rank purely by similarity across all time
- reembed_embeddings bin: re-embed summaries / calendar / search /
knowledge entities via the active backend, with old-new cosine report
per table and truncate-and-retry for inputs over the embed server's
physical batch size
- import_calendar, import_search_history: embed through LocalLlm
- search_messages / get_sms_messages: render sender → recipient so sent
messages are attributable to a conversation
- insight job failures: store the one-line anyhow context chain ({:#})
instead of the Debug dump the client was shown verbatim
- serialize env_dispatch tests behind a lock (parallel-runner flake)
