Rewrite Python comments in Google developer documentation style (#12)

* Rewrite comments in Google developer documentation style

Rewrite the comments and docstrings across the backend core modules so they
read plainly. The previous prose was accurate but dense and figurative, which
made it slow to skim.

Applies the Google developer documentation style guide: short sentences, active
voice, present tense, American spelling, and no metaphors, idioms, or
rhetorical asides. Replaces em-dash chains with separate sentences.

"""Migration 38: embeddings move from a JSON list to packed float32.
The conversion has to be exact, because nothing re-embeds — a memory whose
vector shifts is silently ranked wrong forever, with no error anywhere to say
so. So these tests check the numbers survive the round trip bit for bit, and
that the migration reaches every row however many there are.
