Parth e7d75c3b05 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.

"""Switching embedding models must re-embed the bank.
Vectors from two different models are not comparable. They live in
different spaces and often have different widths. Changing the model must
discard the stored vectors and let the post-turn pass rebuild them.
This worked while the vectors lived in `memories.embedding`. The settings
route nulled that column, and the embed queue picked up the rows. Migration
38 moved the vectors to `embedding_blob` and added an `embedded` flag beside
them, but the bulk clear kept nulling only the old column. The blob
survived, the flag stayed true, and `_embed_pending` (which filters on
`embedded IS FALSE`) never saw the rows. The bank kept ranking against the
previous model's vectors.
Nothing reports this failure. `cosine` returns 0.0 on a width mismatch, so a
different-width model scores every memory zero, and retrieval silently
returns whichever rows sort first. A same-width model scores plausible
garbage instead.
