David Snelling 677e2d6624 perf: 580x faster embedding init - separate model from WASM
Cloud Run cold starts taking 139 seconds due to 90MB WASM file with
embedded 87MB model weights. WASM compilation scales with file size.

Solution: Split into 2.4MB WASM (code only) + external model files.
- WASM compile: 139,000ms → 6-8ms
- Model load: N/A → 30-115ms
- Total init: 139,000ms → 136-240ms

New modelLoader.ts handles all environments:
- Node.js: fs.readFile()
- Bun: Bun.file()
- Bun --compile: auto-embedded assets
- Browser: fetch()

Zero config - same API, npm package includes model files.

/**
* Universal Model Loader for Candle Embeddings
*
* v7.2.0: Model weights are now loaded separately from WASM for faster initialization.
* This reduces WASM compilation time from 139 seconds to ~3-5 seconds.
*
* Loads model files from appropriate source based on environment:
*
* | Environment | Method |
* |----------------|-------------------------------------|
* | Node.js | fs.readFile() |
* | Bun | Bun.file() |
* | Bun --compile | Bun.file() with auto-embedded asset |
* | Browser | fetch() |
*
* For Bun --compile, Bun automatically embeds files accessed via Bun.file()
* when the paths are resolvable at build time.
