OpenViking Embedding Model Switch

概述

Switch the embedding model used by OpenViking to a local llama-server or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with proper vectordb index rebuild and sandbox-safe restart.

⚠️ Single-purpose skill — all operations go through the job-env-manager REST API (http://127.0.0.1:8090). Never run openviking-server directly on the host.

OpenViking is an AI context database that uses vector embeddings for semantic search. Its embedding model is configured in ov.conf under the embedding.dense section. When switching to a different embedding model (especially one with a different vector dimension), the existing vectordb index must be deleted and rebuilt — otherwise OpenViking raises EmbeddingRebuildRequiredError on startup.
