embedBatch() with large inputs (e.g. 500 chunks from highlight()) runs
a single synchronous WASM forward pass that blocks the event loop for
200-500ms. Split large batches into micro-batches of 20 with setTimeout(0)
yields between each, keeping max blocking per batch to ~10-30ms.
Also change Cargo.toml opt-level from "z" (size) to 3 (speed) for
~15-20% faster WASM inference. Requires WASM rebuild to take effect.
