2, newest firstMPS backend hangs (uninterruptible sleep) after ~100-600s of sustained encoding on Apple Silicon## What happens When running `SentenceTransformer.encode()` on the MPS device, the process silently freezes after about 100-600 seconds of cumulative GPU encoding. It enters uninterruptible sleep (U state at 0% CPU) and doesn't respond to SIGINT or SIGTERM, only `kill -9`.
