💡 What:
This PR optimizes the synthetic embedding generation path in the @jeanbot/ai package. It leverages Node 22's modern crypto.hash API and replaces idiomatic but slower array methods with performance-oriented manual loops and pre-allocation.

🎯 Why:
Synthetic vector generation is a deterministic but computationally expensive operation involving 1536 SHA-256 hashes per vector. The previous implementation used crypto.createHash inside a loop, which incurs significant overhead from state machine creation. Additionally, redundant normalization was being performed at multiple levels.

📊 Impact:

  • Reduces synthetic vector generation latency by ~26-40% depending on the environment.
  • Maintains bit-for-bit parity with the original implementation to ensure no regressions in deterministic behavior.
  • Reduces memory pressure by using pre-allocated arrays and avoiding intermediate array creations.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified with a benchmark script (bench.ts):

  • Original: ~676.6ms for 100 vectors
  • Optimized: ~497.2ms for 100 vectors
  • Parity Check: Confirmed bit-for-bit equality between original and optimized outputs.

Verified with pnpm test and pnpm biome lint.

Optimized the synthetic embedding path in `@jeanbot/ai` by leveraging Node 22's high-performance one-shot hashing and refactoring vector operations.

- Introduced `HAS_CRYPTO_HASH` to use `(crypto as any).hash` (one-shot hashing) when available, avoiding the overhead of `Hash` object creation in hot loops.
- Refactored `syntheticVector` and `normalizeVector` to use manual `for` loops and pre-allocated arrays instead of higher-order methods (`Array.from`, `.map`, `.reduce`).
- Implemented a `skipNormalize` parameter in `toEmbeddingVectorRecord` to eliminate redundant normalization for synthetic vectors that are already normalized.
- Preserved `toFixed(8)` rounding in intermediate steps to maintain bit-for-bit determinism.

Impact: ~26-40% improvement in synthetic vector generation latency.
Measurement: Verified via `bench.ts` (Original: ~676ms, Optimized: ~497ms for 100 iterations of 1536-dimensional vectors).
