pluto 74e12eca60 feat: add CLIP embedding service sidecar for GPU machine
FastAPI service that loads ViT-L-14 model and exposes /embed,
/similarity, and /batch-similarity endpoints. Runs on RTX 3090
with NVIDIA GPU reservation. Includes 9 cosine similarity tests.

"""CLIP embedding service for frigate-notify.
Loads OpenAI ViT-L/14 CLIP model and exposes endpoints for generating
image embeddings and computing cosine similarity between embeddings.
Designed to run on a GPU machine (RTX 3090) as a sidecar service.
