A .gguf path in the embedding registry now loads through llama_cpp
(embedding=True, n_ctx/n_gpu_layers from the model config) instead of
failing in SentenceTransformer. Per-token outputs are mean-pooled,
vectors normalized, matryoshka `dimensions` truncation reuses the
shared path. cleanup() closes the llama ctx so eviction frees VRAM.
Text-only: image requests against a GGUF embedder keep returning 400.
