Embedding generation completed without persisted…

Error message

Embedding generation completed without persisted embeddings. The index was not registered to avoid silently reporting embeddings: 0. Check the embedding endpoint/model configuration (GITNEXUS_EMBEDDING_URL / GITNEXUS_EMBEDDING_MODEL) and re-run `gitnexus analyze --embeddings`; the graph itself is unaffected, so `--drop-embeddings` indexes without them.

What it means

    //   1. the pipeline never ran (cap-skipped / not requested) —
    //      `embeddingSkipped`, still short-circuited;
    //   2. the pipeline ran but had NOTHING to embed (totalNodes 0 after the
    //      incremental filter — e.g. a resume whose pending sweep deleted the
    //      last rows) over a legitimately empty table;
    //   3. the count query failed or answered non-numerically (above) — a
    //      diagnostic failure, not an indexing failure;
    //   4. the pipeline embedded and NOTHING persisted — the real defect.
    // Only (4) throws. `attemptedEmbedding` is what separates it from (2):
    // `nodesProcessed` is now the REAL completed-node count and
