# What does this PR do?
<!-- Provide a short summary of what this PR does and why. Link to
relevant issues if applicable. -->
The purpose of this PR is to replace the Llama Stack's default embedding
model by nomic-embed-text-v1.5.
These are the key reasons why Llama Stack community decided to switch
from all-MiniLM-L6-v2 to nomic-embed-text-v1.5:
1. The training data for
[all-MiniLM-L6-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2#training-data)
includes a lot of data sets with various licensing terms, so it is
tricky to know when/whether it is appropriate to use this model for
commercial applications.
2. The model is not particularly competitive on major benchmarks. For
example, if you look at the [MTEB
Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) and click
on Miscellaneous/BEIR to see English information retrieval accuracy, you
see that the top of the leaderboard is dominated by enormous models but
also that there are many, many models of relatively modest size whith
much higher Retrieval scores. If you want to look closely at the data, I
recommend clicking "Download Table" because it is easier to browse that
way.

# What does this PR do?
previously, developers who ran `./scripts/unit-tests.sh` would get
`asyncio-mode=auto`, which meant `@pytest.mark.asyncio` and
`@pytest_asyncio.fixture` were redundent. developers who ran `pytest`
directly would get pytest's default (strict mode), would run into errors
leading them to add `@pytest.mark.asyncio` / `@pytest_asyncio.fixture`
to their code.
with this change -
- `asyncio_mode=auto` is included in `pyproject.toml` making behavior
consistent for all invocations of pytest
- removes all redundant `@pytest_asyncio.fixture` and
`@pytest.mark.asyncio`
- for good measure, requires `pytest>=8.4` and `pytest-asyncio>=1.0`
## Test Plan
- `./scripts/unit-tests.sh`
- `uv run pytest tests/unit`

To add health check for faiss inline vector_io provider.
I tried adding `async def health(self) -> HealthResponse:` like in
inference provider, but it didn't worked for `inline->vector_io->faiss`
provider. And via debug logs, I understood the critical issue, that the
health responses are being stored with the API name as the key, not as a
nested dictionary with provider IDs. This means that all providers of
the same API type (e.g., "vector_io") will share the same health
response, and only the last one processed will be visible in the API
response.
I've created a patch file that fixes this issue by:
- Storing the original get_providers_health method
- Creating a patched version that correctly maps health responses to
providers
- Applying the patch to the `ProviderImpl` class
Not an expert, so please let me know, if there can be any other
workaround using which I can get the health status updated directly from
`faiss.py`.

Added unit tests to test the provider patch implementation in the PR.
Adding a screenshot with the FAISS inline vector_io health status as
"OK"

# What does this PR do?
Adds try-catch to faiss `query_vector` function for when the distance
between the query embedding and an embedding within the vector db is 0
(identical vectors). Catches `ZeroDivisionError` and then appends `(1.0
/ sys.float_info.min)` to `scores` to represent maximum similarity.
