Add configurable OpenSearch feature and UI improvements

- Add MIT license with Austin Godber copyright
  - Implement optional OpenSearch feature toggle via EMBEDDINGBUDDY_OPENSEARCH_ENABLED
  - Disable OpenSearch by default in production for security
  - Add development environment flag to test OpenSearch disable state
  - Update about modal to open by default with improved content
  - Reorganize text input component: move model selection below text input
  - Conditionally show/hide OpenSearch tab and callbacks based on configuration
  - Update tooltips to reflect OpenSearch availability status

+# 🔍 Interactive Embedding Vector Visualization
+
+EmbeddingBuddy is a web application for interactive exploration and
+visualization of embedding vectors through dimensionality reduction techniques
+(PCA, t-SNE, UMAP).
+
+You have two ways to get started:
+
+1. Generate embeddings directly in the browser if it supports WebGPU.
+2. Upload your NDJSON file containing embedding vectors and metadata.
+
+## Generating Embeddings in Browser
+
+1. Expand the "Generate Embeddings" section.
+2. Input your text data (one entry per line).
+    1. Optionally you can use the built in sample data by clicking "Load Sample Data" button.
+3. Click "Generate Embeddings" to create vectors using a pre-trained model.
+
+## NDJSON File Format
+
+```json
+{"id": "doc_001", "embedding": [0.1, -0.3, 0.7, ...], "text": "Sample text content", "category": "news", "subcategory": "politics", "tags": ["election", "politics"]}
+{"id": "doc_002", "embedding": [0.2, -0.1, 0.9, ...], "text": "Another example", "category": "review", "subcategory": "product", "tags": ["tech", "gadget"]}
+```
+
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- Drag-and-drop NDJSON file upload
+- Multiple dimensionality reduction algorithms
+- 2D/3D interactive plots with Plotly
+- Color coding by categories, subcategories, or tags
+- In-browser embedding generation
+- OpenSearch integration for data loading
+
+## 🔧 Supported Algorithms
+
+- **PCA** (Principal Component Analysis)
+- **t-SNE** (t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding)
+- **UMAP** (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection)
