Research direction

Start by reading the issue's proposed feature-flag or argument idea and the linked Hugging Face article on embedding quantization. The payload names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate Chroma's collection-add and embedding storage paths. Done means an agreed binary-quantization design is implemented and verified with coverage for quantized additions and retrieval.
