- Introduced new documentation files under `docs/`:
- `model-bundling-analysis.md`: Provides detailed analysis of current, bundled, hybrid, and dynamic model loading approaches, including pros, cons, and recommendations.
- `model-management.md`: Explains how Brainy manages Universal Sentence Encoder models, including setup, usage, and troubleshooting.
- `optional-model-bundling.md`: Details the `@soulcraft/brainy-models` package for offline reliability with pre-bundled models.
- Added `src/utils/robustModelLoader.ts`:
- Implements enhanced model loading with retry mechanisms, timeout handling, fallback URLs, and optional local model bundling.
- Supports Node.js and browser environments with exponential backoff logic.
- Key Updates:
- **Hybrid Loading Strategy**: Recommended for balancing reliability and flexibility via hybrid online/offline mechanisms.
- **Enhanced Fallback Scenarios**: Robust loader improves network-dependent reliability for embedding workflows.
- **Offline Reliability Support**: Optional model bundling eliminates dependency on external services, supporting air-gapped and edge environments.
**Purpose**: Introduce a hybrid model loading approach with robust options for
