Summary
Why
The previous chunker cut text every 1,000 characters, which produced messy search excerpts and could split concepts mid-sentence. This change makes retrieval chunks substantially cleaner without hiding retrieval quality behind an LLM.
Testing note
The tests are committed under
backend/tests/test_chunking.py. The repository currently does not include pytest in its pinned requirements, and an attempted dependency-file update was blocked by the tool safety layer, so the dependency change is intentionally not included in this PR yet.
