//! Model2Vec static embedding backend.
//!
//! Embeds text via a pre-distilled vocabulary matrix — no neural network
//! forward pass at all.  Each token maps directly to a pre-computed vector;
//! the final embedding is the mean pool of the token vectors followed by L2
//! normalisation.
//!
//! **Performance**: <0.1 ms per text on CPU, >50,000 embeddings/second.
//! **Memory**: ~30 MB vocab matrix vs. ~520 MB ONNX session pool.
//!
//! # Trade-off
//!
//! Quality is ~8–15% lower on MTEB relative to the full BGE-Large transformer.
//! This backend is intended for the *write path* (fast ingest) only.  The
//! [`TieredEngine`](crate::tiered::TieredEngine) uses the full transformer for
//! the *recall* query path, preserving recall quality.
//!
//! # Model artifact
//!
//! The distilled vocabulary matrix is downloaded at runtime from
//! `dakera-ai/bge-large-model2vec-256d` on HuggingFace Hub.  File:
//! `vocab_matrix.bin` (flat `f32` array, `vocab_size × dimension`).
//! File integrity is validated (length must be divisible by 4 bytes).
