"""
Unified embedding utilities for Open Notebook.
Provides centralized embedding generation with support for:
- Single text embedding (with automatic chunking and mean pooling for large texts)
- Batch text embedding (multiple texts with automatic batching)
- Mean pooling for combining multiple embeddings into one
All embedding operations in the application should use these functions
to ensure consistent behavior and proper handling of large content.
