feat(gallery): visual 'more like this' search (Phase 3 backend)
GalleryService.similar() ranks images by pgvector cosine distance to a source
image's precomputed SigLIP embedding — no query-time ML inference. Composes
with the Phase-1/2 scope filters (AND) but replaces the date sort (always
nearest-first, bounded top-N, no cursor). Returns None for a missing source
(→404), [] for a source with no embedding (video / pending ML); excludes self
and NULL-embedding rows. New GET /api/gallery/similar?similar_to=<id>&limit=N.
Image-detail payload gains has_embedding so the UI can hide the surface.

Alembic 0036 adds an HNSW vector_cosine_ops index on siglip_embedding (1152<2000
dims) so the search is sub-50ms ANN instead of a full scan; one-time ~30-60s
build over existing embeddings on deploy. Shared _gallery_images/_image_json
helpers de-dup the scroll/similar builders.

"""image_record.siglip_embedding: HNSW cosine index for "more like this"
Revision ID: 0036
Revises: 0035
Create Date: 2026-06-04
Gallery Phase 3 (visual similarity search) ranks images by
`siglip_embedding.cosine_distance(source_embedding)`. Without an index that's
a sequential scan computing a 1152-dim distance for every row — fine at small
scale, but it grows linearly with the library. Add an HNSW index with
`vector_cosine_ops` so the top-N nearest search is sub-50ms ANN.
1152 dims is under pgvector's 2000-dim HNSW limit, so HNSW (no training,
better recall than IVFFlat) is the right choice. ONE-TIME COST: building the
index over the existing embeddings (~57k vectors on the operator's library)
locks image_record for ~30-60s during this migration on deploy — acceptable
for a single-operator homelab. NULL embeddings (videos / not-yet-embedded
rows) are simply not indexed.
