EmbeddingKind enum

Distinguishes indexing-time ("document") text from query-time ("query") text passed to EmbeddingModel.embed.

Some models (e.g. multilingual-e5-small) require a fixed textual prefix ("passage: " / "query: ") depending on which side of retrieval the text is on — encoding a query the same way as a document degrades retrieval quality for those models. EmbeddingKind lets a caller state which side it's on without needing to know whether the loaded model actually requires a prefix; models that don't need one (e.g. bge-small-en-v1.5) simply ignore it.
