Remaining items from the PR #831 Claude review:
- processor span symmetry: add "vector_sync.total_chars" to the sparse
embedding span (already on the dense span) and drop the redundant
"embedding.batch_size" attribute from both spans — it always equalled
vector_sync.chunk_count and would mislead once batching is split.
- metrics: document the deliberate "throughput counts only on full success"
contract in record_document_parse (partial extractions flagged
success=False are counted as a parse-error but never inflate
pages/chars/bytes throughput).
- config: extract _detect_base_provider() -> (family, model) as the single
source of truth for the provider-detection priority chain, shared by
get_embedding_model_name() and get_embedding_provider_family(). Preserves
the intentional gateway asymmetry (only the family method short-circuits).
- base.py: Optional[...] -> PEP 604 `... | None`; drop now-unused import.
Behavior unchanged (get_embedding_* outputs covered by test_config.py).
