fix: decode HTML entities in page titles#171
Merged

Conversation
Titles from get_the_title() pass through the the_title filter (wptexturize/convert_chars), which emits HTML entities such as – for dashes. These were rendered raw in the add data field and also stored in the embedding text. Decode them with html_entity_decode() so the UI and embeddings get clean text.
