What

Adds Dolphin 3.0-Llama3.1-8B as an optional creative writing fallback for Morrowind narrative tasks (journal entries, NPC dialogue, lore fragments).

Changes

Modelfile.timmy-creative (new)

Builds timmy-creative Ollama model from dolphin3
Temperature 0.9, top_p 0.95, 8K context window
Morrowind system prompt: second-person journal voice, Dunmer dialect, uncensored creative fiction
No tool-calling overhead — pure generative output

config/providers.yaml

Registers dolphin3 and timmy-creative on ollama-local with creative capability tag
Adds creative fallback chain: timmy-creative → dolphin3 → qwen3:30b

Usage

ollama pull dolphin3
ollama create timmy-creative -f Modelfile.timmy-creative

The creative fallback chain is wired into config/providers.yaml and ready to connect to task routing in the cascade router (#1065) when/if Qwen3-14B proves insufficient.

Notes

P3 / low priority — Qwen3-14B with a good system prompt is likely sufficient
Dolphin 3.0 8B ~6 GB at 8K context; not loaded simultaneously with primary models
Pre-existing test failures (10) are unrelated to these changes

- Add Modelfile.timmy-creative: Dolphin 3.0-Llama3.1-8B tuned for
  Morrowind narrative tasks (journal entries, NPC dialogue, lore).
  Uses temperature 0.9, top_p 0.95, 8K context, Morrowind system
  prompt, no tool-calling overhead.

- Update config/providers.yaml:
  - Register dolphin3 and timmy-creative models on ollama-local with
    the 'creative' capability tag
  - Add 'creative' fallback chain: timmy-creative → dolphin3 → qwen3:30b

Usage:
  ollama pull dolphin3
  ollama create timmy-creative -f Modelfile.timmy-creative

The creative fallback chain is ready to wire into task routing
(see #1065) when/if Qwen3-14B proves insufficient for creative output.

Fixes #1068
