feat: Critical model availability system with multi-source fallback

- Add Model Guardian for critical path verification
- Implement fallback chain: GitHub → CDN → Hugging Face
- Smart detection for Docker, CI, production contexts
- Pre-download option with npm run download-models
- Runtime download with automatic fallback
- Model integrity verification (size, hash)
- Comprehensive deployment documentation

The transformer model (Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2) is critical for operations.
Without it, users cannot access their data. This system ensures it's always
available through multiple redundant sources.
