Recommended action: ALTER the column to vector(n) if all rows share n dims, or create an expression (and partial) index: CREATE INDEX ... USING hnsw ((embedding::vector(n)) vector_cosine_ops) WHERE <model filter>, and query with the same cast.
Option: Typed column or expression index with cast [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Untyped vector columns
Steps:
1. ALTER TABLE t ALTER COLUMN embedding TYPE vector(1536);
2. or CREATE INDEX ON t USING hnsw ((embedding::vector(1536)) vector_cosine_ops) WHERE model_id = 1;
3. ORDER BY embedding::vector(1536) <=> $1
Expected: Index builds and is used
