Alex 15bdda8554 fix(worker): know you are in a worker from any thread, not only the task's
Celery records the executing task on the thread that runs it, so a thread that
task starts sees none. The embeddings client and read_document both decided
"am I in a worker?" from that alone, and from any other thread took the
web-process branch: dispatch to the worker they were running in and block on
the result. Celery refuses that get() ("Never call result.get() within a
task!"), so the embed failed and latched the 30s dispatch cooldown for every
caller after it; with joins allowed, read_document would instead wait on a
parsing queue only its own busy process serves.

Threads inside tasks are not hypothetical: per-source retrieval fans out to a
pool, so a scheduled or webhook agent searching several sources embedded from
pool threads. Graph extraction did too, which failed every chunk of a build.

in_worker() in celery_init answers for the whole process. Celery's
task_join_will_block is process-wide and set for every blocking pool (prefork,
solo, threads) -- exactly the condition under which dispatch-and-wait goes
wrong; eventlet/gevent leave it unset, so the task's own thread still counts
through current_worker_task. Verified with real workers on each blocking pool:
from a thread a task started, the old check dispatched and hit the error, the
new one embedded locally.
