* Fix FastSentenceTransformer Qwen embedding preprocessing
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Document Transformer.load embedding modality fix for #6881
* Harden #6881 fix and add forwards/backwards-compatible regression tests
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Fall back to Transformer constructor on legacy sentence-transformers without Hub-capable load
* Mirror legacy sentence-transformers fallback in embedding-parity tripwire test
* Tighten #6881 comments and docstrings
* Skip embedding-parity test on CPU-only runners since FastSentenceTransformer requires CUDA
* Honor the transformer module's saved subfolder when loading
modules.json records a path for the Transformer module (root for
decoder embedders like Qwen3-Embedding, 0_Transformer for the classic
layout). Pooling/Normalize already load from their saved path; thread the
same path into Transformer.load as subfolder so config and tokenizer
resolve like stock ST. stays a no-op, so single-module models are
unchanged.
* Make embedding-parity test bf16-aware
fp16 overflows to NaN on bf16-native embedders such as EmbeddingGemma
(Gemma3), producing a false parity failure. Prefer bf16 when the GPU
supports it so the tripwire can guard the full documented embedding
matrix (Qwen3-Embedding, EmbeddingGemma, BGE-M3, all-MiniLM, GTE-ModernBERT),
not just fp16-safe models.
