Refactor test cases for improved readability and consistency

- Simplified multi-line strings in test cases to single-line format for better readability.
- Consolidated test case structures by removing unnecessary line breaks.
- Updated assertions to be more concise and maintainable.
- Added new integration tests for search caching and embedding warmup functionality.
- Ensured all tests maintain consistent formatting and style across the test suite.

+
+Implementation Highlights:
+
+1. Bounded FIFO search cache in `SearchService` with `get_cache_stats()` for monitoring (hits/misses/size/capacity).
+2. Public cache stats accessor used by updated tests (`tests/test_search_cache.py`) – avoids touching private attributes.
+3. Soft memory ceiling added to `before_request` to decline `/ingest` & `/search` when resident memory > configurable threshold (returns JSON 503 with advisory message).
+4. ONNX Runtime `SessionOptions` now sets intra/inter op threads to 1 for predictable CPU & RAM usage.
+5. Embedding service truncates tokenized input length based on `EMBEDDING_MAX_TOKENS` (prevents pathological memory spikes for very long text).
+6. Chat endpoint enforces `CHAT_MAX_CHARS`; overly large inputs fail fast (HTTP 413) instead of attempting full RAG pipeline.
+7. Dimension caching removes repeated model inspection calls during embedding operations.
+8. Docker image slimmed: build-only packages removed post-install to reduce deployed image size & cold start memory.
+9. Logging verbosity gated by `LOG_DETAIL` to keep production logs lean while enabling deep diagnostics when needed.
+
+Monitoring & Tuning Suggestions:
+
+- Track cache efficiency: enable `LOG_DETAIL=1` temporarily and look for `Search cache HIT/MISS` patterns. If hit ratio <15% for steady traffic, consider raising capacity or adjusting query expansion heuristics.
+- Adjust `EMBEDDING_MAX_TOKENS` downward if ingestion still nears memory limits with unusually long documents.
+- If soft ceiling triggers too frequently, inspect memory profiles; consider lowering ingestion batch size or revisiting model choice.
+- Keep thread env vars at 1 for free tier; only raise if migrating to larger instances (each thread can add allocator overhead).
+
+Failure Modes & Guards:
+
+- When soft ceiling trips, ingestion/search gracefully respond with status `unavailable_due_to_memory_pressure` rather than risking OOM.
+- Cache eviction ensures memory isn't unbounded; oldest entry removed once capacity exceeded.
+- Token/chat guards prevent unbounded user input from propagating through embedding + LLM layers.
+
+Testing Additions:
+
+- `tests/test_search_cache.py` exercises cache hit path and eviction sizing.
+- Warm-up embedding test validates ONNX quantized model selection and first-call latency behavior.
+
+These measures collectively reduce peak memory, smooth CPU usage, and improve stability under constrained deployment conditions.

 ## 🆕 October 2025: Major Memory & Reliability Optimizations
 
 Summary of Changes
@@ -33,7 +83,9 @@ Summary of Changes
 - Defaulted to Postgres Backend: the app now uses Postgres by default to avoid in-memory vector store memory spikes.
 - Automated Initialization & Pre-warming: `run.sh` now runs DB init and pre-warms the RAG pipeline during deployment so the app is ready to serve on first request.
 - Gunicorn Preloading: enabled `preload_app = True` so multiple workers can share the loaded model's memory.
-- Quantized Embedding Model: switched to a quantized ONNX embedding model via `optimum[onnxruntime]` to reduce model memory by ~2x–4x.
+- Quantized Embedding Model: switched to a quantized ONNX embedding model via `optimum[onnxruntime]` to reduce model memory by ~2x–4x. Set `EMBEDDING_USE_QUANTIZED=1` to enable; otherwise the original HF model path is used.
+  - Override selected ONNX export file with `EMBEDDING_ONNX_FILE` (defaults to `model.onnx`). Fallback logic auto-selects when explicit file fails.
+  - Startup embedding warm-up (in `run.sh`) now performs a small embedding on deploy to surface model load issues early.
