- install-windows.ps1: warn about a leftover profile-based ncp() that
would shadow ncp.cmd; the "press any key to close" footer now skips
the wait when stdin is redirected (was hanging indefinitely) and
exits cleanly instead of Stop-Process when it owns the window; pulls
nomic-embed-text alongside the chat/memory models.
- management/ncp.py: ncp start / start -b bring Ollama up automatically;
longer timeout + real error message on a slow model warm.
- synapse/nexus_config.py: DEFAULT_EMBED_MODEL, single source of truth
alongside DEFAULT_CHAT_MODEL/DEFAULT_MEMORY_MODEL.
- synapse/ollama_manager.py: is_available() cached instead of spawning a
process per /status poll; is_running() timeout dropped 2s -> 0.5s so a
healthy backend stops reading as dead; embed() reads the new default
instead of a hardcoded string; de-duplicated serve-env setup.
Ported via bin/publish.sh from NexusOS-jon.

The backend logged 200 OK for polls the client had already timed out on.
is_running() waited 2s for an Ollama that ships OFF (now 0.5s), is_available()
spawned 'ollama --version' every call and that command blocks ~5s when Ollama is
wedged (now cached), and both ran synchronously inside an async def, stalling the
event loop on every poll while the UI polls continuously (now to_thread).
Measured with Ollama's port blackholed: /status 5.89s -> 0.64s, concurrent GET /
stalled -> 0.06s. Poll timeout in nexus_window.py raised 2s -> 5s for margin.
