EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=multimodal is offered by both the extension and the kit, but neither produces working embeddings:
- Extension (firestore-vector-search):
MultimodalEmbeddingClient targets locations/us-central-1 (invalid region), hardcodes image/jpeg, and has no response error handling.
- Kit (
kits/firestore-vector-search): MultimodalEmbedClient throws Multimodal embeddings are not implemented in this package.
Selecting it deploys an instance that fails on every embedding.
Options: implement it properly in both, or remove the value from both. Removing is a breaking config change, so it is deferred until the parity work is done (parity ledger #2974, firestore-vector-search §3).
Related: #3014, #3074 (closed, not pursued for now).
