This PR migrates the Vector API from GraphQL to gRPC as an internal implementation detail with no user-facing changes. Users continue to use the same configuration with identical behavior and output. This refactoring improves performance and reduces dependencies without affecting the user experience, making it a pure internal improvement that requires no user action.
