Solutions

1. Check embedding provider credentials and connectivity first.
2. Confirm embedding model/dimensions match the existing Qdrant collection config.
3. Check server logs for the exact thrown error.
4. If dims changed, recreate the collection (resetAndRebuild) or point to the correct model.

await embeddingProvider.ping() // verify provider reachable
await qdrantHealth()

for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) { try { await reembedAll(); break } catch (e) { await sleep(backoff(i)) } }

When it happens

Trigger: Embedding provider (OpenAI/local embedder) unreachable, out of quota, or rate-limited; Qdrant write failure; invalid embedding dimension vs collection config.

Common situations: Missing/expired EMBEDDINGS_API_KEY; embedding model changed so vector dims no longer match the Qdrant collection; rate limits on a large corpus; Qdrant container restarted mid-run.
