unknown embedding provider: "{unknown}". Supported: "managed

Error message

unknown embedding provider: "{unknown}". Supported: "managed", "voyage", "openai", "cohere", "ollama", "custom:<url>", "none"

What it means

The default-parsed embedding provider name matched none of the known kinds (managed/voyage/openai/cohere/ollama/none/custom:<url>) in the API-key-less factory path. A configuration-string validation error: the provider string in config (or its default) is misspelled or of an unsupported form, and the message enumerates the accepted spellings.

Solutions

1. Correct the embedding provider name to one of the listed supported values
2. Use the custom:<url> form for an OpenAI-compatible custom endpoint
3. Set embeddings to "none" to disable
