Rolls back the claudification backend preference: PREFER_CLOUD_BACKEND now
defaults to false, resolve_backend() picks Ollama first and uses Claude when
explicitly preferred or when the new Ollama startup health check fails. The
Steward retries mid-request failures on the other backend in both directions.
Also hardens the fallback itself: Anthropic SDK imports are lazy so a broken
anthropic package degrades to Ollama-only instead of crashing at import time
(root cause of the production outage since April), anthropic is pinned to a
pydantic-ai-1.27-compatible range, ANTHROPIC_MODEL defaults to claude-sonnet-5
(sonnet-4-20250514 retired 2026-06-15), sampling parameters are stripped from
Claude calls (Sonnet 5 rejects them), and the Steward timeout is configurable
(STEWARD_TIMEOUT, default 60s) since gemma4 needs ~35s warm for analysis.

gemma4:e2b has native function calling with dedicated tool tokens,
achieving 100% tool selection accuracy in benchmarks vs 67% for
mistral-nemo-large, with 5-8x faster response times (2-4s vs 15-20s)
and lower VRAM usage (8GB vs 9.2GB).

All agents now prefer Claude API when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is configured,
with automatic fallback to Ollama when offline or unconfigured. New
src/anthropic/ module provides model selection via get_model() factory.

Changes preprocessing to use get_delegation_tools() instead of
get_scoped_tools(). Expert agents now get delegation wrappers
(delegate_to_librarian) while core tools are returned directly.
This reduces Tatlock's cognitive load from 16+ tools to ~3-5.

Implements the agent-as-tool pattern in the registry:
- For members WITH an agent: returns delegation wrapper function
- For members WITHOUT an agent: returns raw tools directly
This reduces Tatlock's tool count from 16+ to ~3-5, preventing
cognitive overload and improving Ollama reliability.
