Architecture

QMD's llm.js is patched (v2) to support three embedding backends:

QMD_EMBED_BACKEND=google|ollama|local

google  → Google AI Studio gemini-embedding-001 (3072-dim, free)
ollama  → Mac Studio Ollama qwen3-embedding:8b (4096-dim, LAN)
local   → node-llama-cpp embeddinggemma-300M (768-dim, CPU)

Auto-detect priority: google → ollama → local
