A single failing package used to kill its whole worker thread silently
because only Vectorizer::Error was rescued per package. Now every
StandardError is caught and logged with class and backtrace, and the
embedding write is narrowed to update_column(:embedding) so the task
only ever issues a minimal UPDATE - it cannot touch any other column
or fire model callbacks. Progress stats no longer serialize database
writes through the mutex.
Package pages get a "Related packages" section: a nearest neighbor
query against the package's own stored embedding (no external service
call), excluding the package itself. Packages without an embedding
render no section.
Package text search now combines several strategies: exact name match,
name prefix promotion, compound word splitting ("sqlite browser" finds
"sqlitebrowser") and semantic nearest neighbor search over description
embeddings computed by an external embedding service (all-MiniLM-L6-v2,
384 dims) stored with the pgvector extension. Classic PostgreSQL
full-text search remains as fallback when the vector service is
unreachable. Gibberish queries without lexical overlap with the package
data return empty results instead of random matches.
Embeddings can be backfilled with bin/rails debshots:compute_vectors.
Also drops the unused lograge gem from the Gemfile.
