💡 What

This PR optimizes the synthetic embedding generation in @jeanbot/ai. It replaces a highly inefficient cryptographic hashing loop with a fast, deterministic PRNG (Mulberry32) and optimizes vector normalization.

🎯 Why

The original implementation performed a full SHA-256 hash for every single dimension of a 1536-dimensional vector. This was extremely CPU-intensive and created a significant bottleneck in environments where synthetic embeddings are used (e.g., development, CI/CD, or when OpenAI keys are not provided).

📊 Impact

  • Throughput: Increased from ~180 ops/sec to ~4900 ops/sec (~27x faster).
  • Efficiency: Drastically reduced CPU time for large-scale synthetic embedding generation.

🔬 Measurement

Benchmark ran on Node v22:

  • Baseline (Slow): ~1377ms for 200 iterations (~145 ops/sec).
  • Optimized (Fast): ~102ms for 500 iterations (~4900 ops/sec).
  • Correctness: Verified that generated vectors are deterministic and correctly normalized to a magnitude of ~1.0.

- Replaced per-dimension SHA-256 hashing in `syntheticVector` with a single hash seeding a Mulberry32 PRNG.
- Optimized `normalizeVector` using for-loops and faster rounding (`Math.round` vs `toFixed`).
- Used `Float64Array` for efficient intermediate vector storage.
- Preserved unit vector normalization and deterministic output.

Performance Impact:
- Throughput increased from ~180 embeddings/sec to ~4900 embeddings/sec (~27x improvement).
- Reduced CPU overhead for synthetic data generation in testing and development environments.

Measurement:
- Verified using `packages/ai/src/verify_v2.mjs` (removed after verification).
