kami 82674e85c4 feat(inference): capability-aware routing for tool-heavy stages
Add CapabilityAwareRoutingStrategy — it hard-filters to providers that declare every
required capability (like FirstAvailable) but ranks the matches by summed required-capability
score; ties keep list order, so it is a strict superset of first-available. The server now
wires it as the routing policy.

The orchestrator augments a stage's required capabilities with ModelCapability.ToolCalling
when the stage grants tools, so tool-heavy stages route to the best tool-calling model rather
than whichever healthy provider comes first.

Scores come from each provider's declared capabilities(); observed per-model reliability
(GET /metrics/tool-reliability) can feed in later as an additional weight.

# infrastructure/inference/
## Purpose
Inference adapter layer. The root module provides `DefaultProviderRegistry` (registers `InferenceProvider` instances) and `FirstAvailableRoutingStrategy`. Submodules cover shared HTTP client infrastructure (`commons/`), the llama.cpp server adapter (`llama_cpp/`), and the remote OpenAI-compatible adapter (`openai_compat/`, e.g. NVIDIA NIM).
## Ownership
Adapter for LLM inference backends. Implements `core:inference` interfaces. No dependency on other `infrastructure:*` modules.
## Local Contracts
- `DefaultProviderRegistry` implements `ProviderRegistry` from `core:inference`.
- Two `RoutingStrategy` implementations (both hard-filter to providers declaring every required capability): `FirstAvailableRoutingStrategy` picks the first match; `CapabilityAwareRoutingStrategy` ranks the matches by summed required-capability score (ties keep list order, so it's a superset of first-available). The server wires `CapabilityAwareRoutingStrategy` so tool-heavy stages (which request `ModelCapability.ToolCalling`) route to the best tool-caller. Extend the `RoutingStrategy` interface only in `core:inference`, not here.
- All LLM responses are proposals — they must be validated by the core before affecting state (invariant #7). Adapters return raw responses; they do not validate.
- Network calls to inference backends are environment observations; results must be recorded as events by callers if replay must reproduce them (invariant #9).
- Model lifecycle (spawn/own the llama-server process) lives in `llama_cpp/`; the autonomous scheduler is intentionally unbuilt (see root CLAUDE.md).
- `openai_compat/` is fully remote (no local process/GPU). It speaks `POST {baseUrl}/chat/completions` with `Authorization: Bearer`; `baseUrl` must include the version segment (e.g. `/v1`). It has no `/tokenize`, so it uses a heuristic tokenizer, and no GBNF — JSON artifacts rely on the core's validate-after-retry. Server dispatch keys `[[providers]] type = "nim" | "openai"`; the key comes from `api_key` or `api_key_env`.
## Work Guidance
Standard adapter rules apply (see parent `AGENTS.md`). HTTP client code uses Ktor CIO; blocking I/O in `withContext(Dispatchers.IO)`.
