* fix: prevent meta tensor issues when accelerate is installed without GPU
When accelerate is installed but no GPU is available, transformers can
incorrectly use lazy loading (meta tensors) which fails when
sentence-transformers tries to move the model to a device.
The fix checks hardware and installed packages to determine the right
loading strategy:
- GPU available: device=None, device_map=None (auto-detect GPU)
- No GPU + accelerate: device='cpu', device_map='cpu' (force CPU loading)
- No GPU + no accelerate: device='cpu', device_map=None (normal CPU)

* fix: add filelock for model initialization in parallel tests
When pytest-xdist runs multiple workers in parallel, they all try to
load models from the HuggingFace cache simultaneously, causing race
conditions and intermittent meta tensor errors.
Added filelock around embeddings and cross_encoder initialization in
conftest.py, similar to how pg0 database setup is serialized. Models
are now pre-initialized in the fixture before being passed to tests.

* fix: add MPS support for macOS Apple Silicon
Extend GPU detection to include Apple MPS backend in addition to CUDA.
This ensures macOS users with Apple Silicon use MPS acceleration
instead of being incorrectly routed to the CPU fallback path.
* Add the LLM_PROVIDER in example
* fix the assert in testing recall
* trial to fix failing client tests
NotImplementedError: Cannot copy out of meta tensor; no data! Please use torch.nn.Module.to_empty() instead of torch.nn.Module.to() when moving module from meta to a different device.
* lock the sentence transformer packages to align with the breaking changes around lazy tensor loading
* Add the LLM_PROVIDER in example
* fix the assert in testing recall
* trial to fix failing client tests
* pre-cache the model so CI doesn't need workarounds
* remove assert that is a race condition
The test was checking that the bank count increased, but with parallel tests (-n 8), other tests can delete their banks while this test is running, causing a race condition. The important assertion is assert test_bank_id in final_banks - which verifies the bank was actually created.
* add debug to figure out why docker build fails sometimes
* use the CPU only version of pytorch to avoid pulling cuda libraries
* add best match strategy to uv
* change the example openai model
