ConfigError: unable to infer type for attribute "chroma_server_nofile"

저는 Python 3.14 버전으로 venv 를 사용중이었는데요.
위와 같은 에러가 발생하였습니다.
구글에 ConfigError 문구를 검색해도 잘 나오지 않아서 ChatGPT의 도움을 좀 받았는데 이렇게 답하더라구요.

- Python 3.14 환경에서 chromadb가 (pydantic v2에서 BaseSettings가 빠진 걸 처리하려다) pydantic.v1 호환 레이어로 떨어지고

- 그런데 Pydantic v1 코어는 Python 3.14+에서 제대로 동작하지 않아서, Settings 모델 필드(chroma_server_nofile) 타입 추론이 깨지면서 ConfigError가 납니다.

파이썬 버전을 3.12로 낮추어서 venv 를 다시 설정했더니 같은 코드임에도 정상적으로 실행되었습니다.
혹시나 저와 같은 이슈를 겪으신 분들은 python 버전을 낮추어보시길 바라요.
