[frontier] Context window overflow in document analysis

Implement Late Chunking: embed entire document first, then mean-pool token embeddings into chunks to preserve long-context dependencies

Journey Context:
Standard chunking splits text before embedding, destroying cross-sentence dependencies and causing retrieval of fragmented context. Late Chunking \(Jina AIs approach\) feeds the entire document to a long-context embedding model \(jina-embeddings-v3 or similar\), captures the token-level embeddings for the full text, then pools adjacent token embeddings into chunks. This preserves the contextual relationships between distant parts of the document in the embedding space. The result is 15-20% better retrieval accuracy on long documents compared to early chunking. The requirement is a long-context embedding model \(8k\+ tokens\). Use this for RAG on long technical documents or books where context spans pages.
