Codeman maintainer 92c20fe572 feat(local-model): hardware probe, model catalogue and the pure recommendation
The core of the read-only recommendation: what this Mac is, what the catalogue
knows, and which model fits. Nothing is downloaded, installed or written.

- hardware.ts: one bounded async spawn of /usr/sbin/sysctl with seven keys,
  without -n, parsed as "key: value" lines by the pure parseSysctl(). Free disk
  of the data dir through statfs behind the bounded path probe. Fallbacks from
  node:os, a 60 s cache, never throws, never system_profiler. A wired limit of
  0 means "not set".
- local-model-catalog.ts: seven models, three harness rows (pi gated) and the
  chips table as a compiled constant, validated by a Zod schema on first use.
  No override file. Model ids are name:tag in lowercase without a slash; every
  model carries paramsB and an (empty) tested list. Chip names match on the
  end of the chip string, so 'M4' is not the chip of 'Apple M4 Pro'.
- recommend.ts: device budget (the wired limit when above 0, else 2/3 of
  memory below 36 GB and 3/4 from 36 GB, less the reserve), need = weights +
  KV cache + 1 GiB + prompt cache, fit good up to 0.85 and tight up to 0.98,
  speed ok, unknown or slow (a chip in no chips row is unknown), and the
  ranking. Verdicts ok, limited (best model under 12 billion parameters) and
  none with its reason. "Recommended" only for a pick with a tested entry for
  this Mac, which no row has today.
- types/local-model.ts: comments brought in line with the code (chip matching,
  budgetShare rounding, a budget of 0 on an Intel Mac).
- cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts: the guard also catches a comparison of
  a `cli` field with a CLI id (plus one stray blank line Prettier refused).

Tests: test/local-model-format.test.ts, test/local-model-hardware.test.ts
(the captured output of two real Macs), test/local-model-catalog.test.ts,
test/local-model-recommend.test.ts.

/**
* @fileoverview Tests for src/config/local-model-catalog.ts: the compiled catalogue of models,
* harnesses and chips, its schema, and the chip lookup.
*
* Three things are pinned:
*
* 1. The stock constant PARSES. `getLocalModelCatalog()` validates it on first use and throws on
* a bad row, so this test is what keeps a bad row from ever reaching the route.
* 2. The schema refuses what must never get in: a model id that could name another registry
* (a slash, a host), an unknown key (a `runtime` block with a download URL), and rows that
* break a rule across rows (a repeated id, contexts in the wrong order, a chip row that
* hides a more specific one).
* 3. The chip lookup never guesses: a chip that no row names has no bandwidth, including one
* whose name merely contains a known name ('Apple M10', 'Apple M6 Pro').
*
* Port: N/A (pure data and functions).
