Fixes #1101

Summary

Modelfile.hermes4-14b: Ollama Modelfile for NousResearch Hermes 4 14B (Q5_K_M, 32K context, temperature=0.3, ChatML format with tool-calling + <think> reasoning configured)
config/providers.yaml: Registers hermes4-14b and hermes4-36b as model entries on ollama-local; hermes4-14b promoted to top of the tools fallback chain (native tool calling)
scripts/test_hermes4.py: 5-test smoke suite covering model availability, basic response, memory usage (<28 GB gate), tool calling (structured output check), and Timmy-persona acceptance

How to use

# 1. Download GGUF from HuggingFace NousResearch Hermes 4 collection
# 2. Edit Modelfile.hermes4-14b — uncomment the FROM line with local path
# 3. Import into Ollama:
ollama create hermes4-14b -f Modelfile.hermes4-14b

# 4. Run the smoke test suite:
python scripts/test_hermes4.py --model hermes4-14b

Test plan

Unit tests pass (pre-existing failures in calm/tools routes are unrelated)
Router cascade and model registry tests pass
Live model download and test_hermes4.py run (requires manual GGUF import)

Sets up the AutoLoRA base model infrastructure for Project Bannerlord.
No live model download (requires manual GGUF import into Ollama), but
provides all scaffolding needed to onboard and validate the model.

Changes:
- Modelfile.hermes4-14b: Ollama Modelfile for NousResearch Hermes 4 14B
  (Q5_K_M, 32K context, temp=0.3, tool-calling + reasoning configured)
- config/providers.yaml: register hermes4-14b and hermes4-36b as model
  entries on ollama-local; hermes4-14b promoted to top of tools fallback
  chain (native tool calling + structured JSON)
- scripts/test_hermes4.py: 5-test smoke suite (availability, basic
  response, memory < 28 GB, tool calling, Timmy-persona acceptance)
