feat(esh-ml1): RTX 2000E Ada on esh-pve serves embed + rerank as a LiteLLM failover

esh-pve: NVIDIA 580.178.04 (open modules, DKMS) installed on the host from
NVIDIA's .run and loaded live, no reboot. nvidia-persistenced unit creates the
device nodes before pve-guests; the T400's vfio-pci ids and `blacklist nvidia`
retired. playbooks/esh-pve-nvidia-host.yaml.

esh-ml1: CT 110, unprivileged Debian 12, 10.0.50.80, GPU nodes via devN,
NVIDIA userspace from the same .run (--no-kernel-modules), docker-ce +
nvidia-container-toolkit (no-cgroups). playbooks/esh-ml1-lxc.yaml. Not in the
vzdump job on purpose. DNS esh-ml1.esh.internal.

stacks/embed-rerank: Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B :8001 + bge-reranker-v2-m3 :8013 on
the same vLLM v0.24.0 digest and flags as fv-ml1. Measured parity: embed
cosine FV-vs-ESH median 0.999908 (min 0.999772), inside both self-noise
floors; rerank max |delta| 0.000145 vs floor 0.000181, identical ranking.

litellm: qwen3-embedding and reranker gain an esh-ml1 deployment at order 2
behind fv-ml1 (order 1). Order fallback proven with throwaway groups:
refused primary +0.15 s, host-down primary ~18.7 s per call, dead-only 500.

Also: repaired the DB-only alias reranker-a3-bge-v2-m3, dead since the
fv-ml1 relocation (still named 10.250.50.54); documented the third
unkillable homepage wedge on esh-docker-vm.

# embed-rerank
The fleet's embedding + reranking models on **esh-ml1** (CT 110 on esh-pve,
RTX 2000E Ada). The second site for `qwen3-embedding` and `reranker`; fv-ml1's
[`vllm`](../vllm/) stack is the first.
| container | model | port |
|---|---|---|
| `vllm-embed` | `Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B` | 8001 |
| `vllm-rerank-bge` | `BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3` | 8013 |
**Keep it in lockstep with `stacks/vllm`:** same models, same `VLLM_VERSION`,
same `--max-model-len`. The LiteLLM groups treat the two sites as one model,
so any drift in the embedding model or its version silently mixes
incompatible vectors into consumers' indexes.
## Deploy
```bash
scripts/deploy-stack.sh esh-ml1 embed-rerank
ssh esh-ml1 'cd /opt/docker/compose/embed-rerank && cp -n .env.example .env && docker compose config -q && docker compose up -d'
```
Host prerequisites (driver, LXC, docker, toolkit) are in
[`servers/esh-ml1/README.md`](../../servers/esh-ml1/README.md).
## Smoke test
```bash
curl -s http://10.0.50.80:8001/v1/embeddings -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"model":"Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B","input":"hello"}' | jq '.data[0].embedding | length' # 1024
curl -s http://10.0.50.80:8013/rerank -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"model":"BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3","query":"cat","documents":["a cat","a car"]}' | jq '.results[0]'
```
Parity against fv-ml1 is recorded in the host README; re-measure after any
version bump on either side.

# embed-rerank — the fleet's embedding + reranking models, served locally at ESH
# on esh-ml1 (CT 110 on esh-pve, RTX 2000E Ada, 16 GB).
#
# WHY: Prime's decision 2026-09-24 — the Ada card offloads embedding and
# reranking so ESH consumers (Open WebUI RAG, Paperless) are not tied to one
# seat on fv-ml1. It serves the SAME models as fv-ml1's `vllm` stack, with the
# SAME vLLM version and flags, because embedding vectors are model-specific:
# a different embedding model here would silently poison every index built
# against fv-ml1's. Mirror stacks/vllm/compose.yaml when that changes.
#
# vllm-embed Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B → /v1/embeddings :8001
# vllm-rerank-bge BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 → /rerank, /score :8013
#
# Ports match fv-ml1 on purpose, so a LiteLLM deployment for either site
# differs only in the host part of api_base.
#
# `vllm-rerank-bge`, not fv-ml1's `vllm-rerank-a3`: that name carries R43
# bake-off provenance for THAT container; and plain `vllm-rerank` was the
# retired Qwen3-Reranker that measured harmful. Name the model instead.
#
# NO `tnet`/traefik-net: esh-ml1 runs no traefik, and an external network
# that does not exist would stop the stack from starting. Consumers reach the
# published ports directly.
#
# Host setup (driver, LXC, docker, toolkit): playbooks/esh-pve-nvidia-host.yaml
# then playbooks/esh-ml1-lxc.yaml. Tunables live in .env — edit that, not this.
