//! Production fastembed-backed text embedder with LRU cache.
//!
//! Why: extracted from `embedder/mod.rs` to keep each file under the 500-SLOC
//! cap. `FastEmbedder` is the largest single item in the module (init +
//! embed_batch combined exceed 250 SLOC after comments) so it lives on its own.
//! What: `FastEmbedder` struct, its `new` / `with_cache_size` constructors,
//! `init_options` (execution-provider selection), `try_new_bounded` (issue
//! #2111 — bounds CoreML init so a hang auto-falls-back to CPU instead of
//! blocking forever, and remembers the hang via `COREML_KNOWN_BAD` so it is
//! never retried), the CUDA provider builder (behind the `embedder-cuda`
//! feature), and the `Embedder` trait impl.
//! Test: `fastembed_returns_correct_dim`, `fastembed_cache_hit_is_idempotent`
//! (both `#[ignore]` — they download a real ONNX model), the `decide_fallback`
//! / `coreml_init_timeout` unit tests, plus the env-var tests in `mod.rs`
//! that call `FastEmbedder::init_options` directly.
