Jon WingenderandClaude Sonnet 5 63c93346ae feat(models): gate optional models behind required mistral+nomic-embed
Models page redesign: tabs (Required/Recommended/Installed) with a
multi-column card grid, required models (memory curator + embeddings)
surfaced first and gating the rest until both are installed. Adds a
qwen2.5:14b tier to the hardware-fit catalog for high-VRAM machines.
Installer and restore messaging updated to match. Also declares pytest
in requirements-base.txt so bin/check.sh's test suite is reproducible
on a fresh venv.

"""Hardware detection + a curated model catalog for the Models page.
Detects system RAM (reliable, psutil) and GPU VRAM (best-effort: nvidia-smi,
then Linux AMD sysfs). VRAM is None when it can't be read (e.g. AMD/Vulkan on
Windows) — the UI then recommends by RAM + model size alone.
