Robust fixes for Firebase filtering and content processing

- Enhanced Firebase language filtering with data structure analysis
- Added fallback mechanisms for insufficient English articles
- Improved document conversion with multiple field name mappings
- Better content validation and chunking in vector store processing
- Added comprehensive error handling and debugging output
- Implemented content-based language detection as fallback
- Enhanced article processing with quality validation
- Added detailed test suite for verification
