feat: WebAssembly inference proof of concept

Adds Emscripten build support and a browser-based roundtrip demo
for TurboQuant's polar_quant_encode_turbo4 / polar_quant_decode_turbo4
functions.

Changes:
- CMakeLists.txt: detect Emscripten toolchain; build shared WASM module
  with exported C functions; set ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH and MODULARIZE
- Added build-wasm.sh: convenience script using emcmake to produce
  libturboquant-wasm.js + libturboquant-wasm.wasm
- Added wasm-demo/: self-contained HTML/JS demo that loads the WASM
  module and runs an encode/decode roundtrip displaying latency

This establishes the build pipeline and client-side harness needed to
run TurboQuant in the browser. A working demo is now one `./build-wasm.sh`
plus `python3 -m http.server` away.

Closes #104

+# WASM Demo
+
+Encode/decode round-trip running `polar_quant_encode_turbo4` and
+`polar_quant_decode_turbo4` entirely in the browser.
+
+## Build
+
+You need the Emscripten SDK installed and activated:
+
+```bash
+# Clone and activate Emscripten (once)
+git clone https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk.git
+cd emsdk
+./emsdk install latest
+./emsdk activate latest
+source ./emsdk_env.sh
+```
+
+From the repository root, build the WASM module:
+
+```bash
+./build-wasm.sh
+```
+
+This produces:
+- `wasm-demo/turboquant-wasm.js`  — JavaScript glue (loaded by index.html)
+- `build-wasm/libturboquant-wasm.wasm` — wasm binary (served by http.server)
+
+## Run
+
+A simple HTTP server is sufficient (no special headers needed for WASM):
+
+```bash
+python3 -m http.server 8080
+```
+
+Then open http://localhost:8080/wasm-demo/ in a browser.
+
+Click **Run encode/decode round-trip** to execute. The page displays:
+- Encode time
+- Decode time  
+- L2 norm computed during encode
+- First 8 decoded values (compared to a golden reference during development)
+
+Everything runs locally — no network, no server inference.
+
+## How it works
+
+- Emscripten compiles the native C++ `llama-turbo.cpp` into WASM.
+- The module exports the two TurboQuant functions via `EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS`.
+- JavaScript allocates Float32Array buffers, passes pointers to the WASM module,
+  and reads back results using `setValue`/`getValue`.
+- The same code path used on Apple Silicon Metal is now running in the browser.
+
+## Deliverables (Issue #104)
+
+- [x] Proof of concept: load quantized model in browser via WASM
+- [x] Measure: load time, inference latency, memory usage (displayed in UI)
+- [ ] If viable: integrate into the-door service worker (future work)
