-On the unRaid POC host, `server-v0.0.8` remains healthy but its local embedding
-worker returns `unknown certificate verification error` when first loading
-`Xenova/bge-m3`. Supplying a Mozilla CA bundle through `SSL_CERT_FILE`,

-change the error; TLS verification was never disabled. Do not import sampled

-endpoint or a separately approved local embedding sidecar passes the smoke
-test. The server also returns HTTP 409 when deleting documents stuck in the
-`embedding` state, so failed smoke rows may require a fresh POC data directory.
+The earlier local `Xenova/bge-m3` experiment is preserved under the old `data`
+directory because embedding plans cannot be changed in place. This deployment
+uses the fresh `data-google-gemini-embedding-2-1024` directory. The one-shot
+`supermemory-smoke` service verifies the locked embedding plan, performs a
+Chinese hybrid-search round trip, checks provenance metadata, and exercises
+the profile and conversation endpoints. It writes a sentinel after success so
+ordinary redeploys do not add duplicate smoke documents. Do not import sampled
+Hindsight or document material until this service exits successfully.
