+"""Placeholder point management for Qdrant state tracking.
+
+Placeholders are zero-vector points stored in Qdrant to track document processing
+state. They prevent duplicate work by marking documents as "in-flight" during the
+gap between scanner queuing and processor completion.
+
+Architecture:
+- Scanner writes placeholders when queuing documents for processing
+- Processor deletes placeholders and writes real vectors after processing
+- All user-facing queries filter out placeholders (is_placeholder: False)
+
+Placeholders contain:
+- Zero vectors (dimension from embedding service)
+- is_placeholder: True flag (for filtering)
+- status: "pending", "processing", "completed", "failed"
+- modified_at, etag from source document
+- queued_at timestamp
