trusty_embedder/lib.rs
1//! Shared text-embedding abstraction for trusty-* projects.
2//!
3//! Why: trusty-memory and trusty-search both shipped near-identical
4//! `Embedder` traits and `FastEmbedder` implementations, with subtle
5//! drift (cache vs no-cache, sync vs async warmup, `dim()` vs `dimension()`).
6//! Centralising fixes one bug in one place and lets future consumers pick up
7//! the embedder for free.
8//!
9//! What: an async `Embedder` trait with `embed_batch` as the single primitive
10//! (single-text embed is a free helper), plus a production `FastEmbedder`
11//! (fastembed-rs, all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384-d) with LRU caching and ORT warmup,
12//! and a `MockEmbedder` test double behind the `test-support` feature.
13//!
14//! Test: `cargo test -p trusty-embedder` covers shape, cache hits, and the
15//! mock embedder. ONNX-backed tests are `#[ignore]` to keep CI under one
16//! cargo-feature umbrella.
