I see the issue. The `BGEM3FlagModel` initialization is receiving an unexpected keyword argument. Let me examine the code and fix it.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I can see the issue. The `BGEM3FlagModel` constructor doesn't accept the `query_instruction_for_retrieval` parameter in the current version. Let me check what parameters it actually accepts and fix the initialization.

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now I'll fix the issue by removing the unsupported `query_instruction_for_retrieval` parameter from the BGEM3FlagModel initialization:

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now let me check for any linting issues in the file:

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I've fixed the issue! The problem was that the `BGEM3FlagModel` constructor in FlagEmbedding version 1.2.11 doesn't support the `query_instruction_for_retrieval` and `max_length` parameters that were being passed to it.

I removed these unsupported parameters from the initialization on lines 44-47, keeping only the `model_name` and `use_fp16` parameters which are supported in this version. The model will now initialize properly with just these two parameters.

The corrected initialization now looks like this:
```python
self.model = BGEM3FlagModel(
    self.model_name, 
    use_fp16=self.use_fp16
)
```

You should now be able to run `python main.py` successfully and the BGE-M3 embedding service should start without errors.
