**feat(models): enhance loader reliability and compatibility**

- **Compatibility Enhancements**:
  - Added support to detect and inject missing `"format"` field in `model.json` files for TensorFlow.js compatibility.
  - Modified model loading logic to handle both `tfjs-graph-model` and `tfjs-layers-model` formats.

- **New Features**:
  - Introduced additional fallback paths for locating models to increase reliability in varying environments.
  - Added support for mock implementations of the Universal Sentence Encoder in test environments.

- **Bug Fixes**:
  - Fixed module loading resolution in `FileSystemStorage` with improved initialization and error handling for Node.js environments.
  - Resolved issues with test assertions to improve validation logic in core tests.

**Purpose**: Improve model loading reliability, expand compatibility with TensorFlow.js models, and enhance test environment support.
