When embeddings fail to initialize in the MCP server context (e.g., due
to working directory issues), the error was silently swallowed and
smart_ingest would fall back to regular ingest without explanation.
Changes:
- Add init_embeddings() method to Storage for explicit initialization
- Initialize embeddings at MCP server startup with error logging
- Add check_ready() method to EmbeddingService for error access
- Log warning when is_ready() returns false
Now users will see clear error messages like:
"Failed to initialize embedding service: ..."
"Hint: Check FASTEMBED_CACHE_PATH or ensure ~/.fastembed_cache exists"

Claude Desktop requests protocol version 2025-06-18 but Vestige was
responding with 2025-11-25, causing Claude Desktop to disconnect.
Now the server negotiates: if the client requests an older version,
use it. This maintains backward compatibility with older clients.
Fixes: Claude Desktop "Server transport closed unexpectedly" error

Users were seeing 30 tools in /mcp which was overwhelming. Now only 8
essential tools are listed:
1. search - unified hybrid search
2. memory - get/delete/state operations
3. codebase - patterns and decisions
4. intention - prospective memory
5. ingest - add memories
6. smart_ingest - intelligent ingestion
7. promote_memory - thumbs up
8. demote_memory - thumbs down
Deprecated tools (recall, semantic_search, etc.) still work internally
for backward compatibility but are no longer listed.
