sync: ingestion improvements from private repo

- Fixed dimension auto-assignment (locked dimensions now properly assigned)
- Added description field as grounding context for AI
- Updated embedding format: Title → Description → Content → Dimensions
- Description-weighted search (5x boost)
- Bug fixes: extraction tool dimension display, DimensionSearchModal closing
- Removed quickLink tool (use Quick Link workflow instead)
- Added regenerate-description API endpoint
