1//! `EmbeddingBucket` - per-node leaf object inside the Prolly sidecar
2//! that lifts the embedding vector out of the
3//! [`Node`](super::Node) canonical bytes.
4//!
5//! # Why this exists
6//!
7//! When the embedding vector lives inline on `Node`:
8//!
9//! ```text
10//! NodeCid = blake3(canonical_bytes(Node)) // includes embed.vector
11//! ```
12//!
13//! ORT reorders f32 sums across thread counts (TBB-style work-stealing
14//! reductions are not associative on `f32`), so two machines re-deriving
15//! the same source text on different core counts produce vectors that
16//! differ in the last bit. Different vector → different Node bytes →
17//! different `NodeCid` for embed-bearing chunks. That breaks mnem's
18//! "two machines indexing the same logical event produce identical
19//! Node CIDs" federated-dedup promise as soon as the runtime uses
20//! `available_parallelism()` instead of a single thread.
21//!
22//! Fix: vectors live in a separate Prolly tree referenced by
23//! `Commit.embeddings: Option<Cid>` (the sibling slot to
24//! `Commit.indexes`). The tree is keyed by 32-byte `NodeCid` digest;
25//! values are `EmbeddingBucket`s carrying one `(model, Embedding)`
26//! pair per simultaneously-indexed embedder. Identity bytes (Node)
27//! and derived bytes (Embedding) are content-addressed independently.
28//! Multi-thread ORT no longer leaks into Node CIDs.
29//!
30//! # Pattern source
31//!
32//! Mirrors the [`AdjacencyBucket`](super::AdjacencyBucket) shape from
33//! the existing [`IndexSet`](super::IndexSet) sidecar: sorted entry
34//! list inside each leaf, hand-rolled `Serialize`/`Deserialize`
35//! carrying a `_kind` discriminator and a `#[serde(flatten)] extra`
36//! forward-compat carrier so unrelated schema bumps stay
37//! round-trippable.
