Each pipeline phase owns one llama-server slot (steward 0, orchestrator
1, synthesizer 2), carried as id_slot in extra_body through the same
mechanism tool_choice already uses, so the phase's stable prompt prefix
stays in that slot's KV cache and a turn re-prefills only its new
tokens. Off by default; a no-op on the Claude backend and ignored by
Ollama, so the flag is safe on any backend and the cutover itself stays
a pure env swap.
The merge helper preserves existing extra_body keys — mutation-checked
(dropping the merge fails exactly the test written for it).

Mechanical only, and separated from the judgment calls that follow so the
reviewable changes are not buried in a 98-file whitespace diff.
227 automatic fixes: 60 blank lines carrying whitespace, 60 unsorted import
blocks, 34 Optional[X] to X | None, 28 unused imports, 16 deprecated typing
imports, 12 datetime.timezone.utc to datetime.UTC, and assorted smaller
modernisations. Then `ruff format` over src and tests: 98 files reformatted,
35 already conforming.
No file among the unused-import findings defines __all__ or is an __init__.py,
so nothing here removes a re-export.
`make test`: 658 passed, unchanged from HEAD.
Two things observed while verifying, neither addressed here:
`pytest tests/` cannot collect — tests/e2e/test_orchestration_e2e.py uses an
`e2e` marker that is not registered, and the config is strict about markers.
This fails identically at HEAD, so it predates this change; `make test` passes
because it ignores tests/e2e, tests/integration and tests/contracts.
test_tatlock_tool_call_logging_calculator is flaky. It failed once in a full run
with these changes and passed on the next, passes in isolation with them, and
fails in isolation at HEAD. It is order- or timing-dependent, not a regression
from this commit — established by running the full suite both ways rather than
by reasoning about which change could have caused it.

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.
