jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 033a1c01e8 feat: make Ollama/gemma4 the primary backend with Claude as fallback
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.

"""
Model selector for Ollama/Claude backend switching.
Provides automatic model selection with Ollama as the primary local backend
and Claude as the cloud fallback. Claude is used when PREFER_CLOUD_BACKEND
is enabled, or automatically when Ollama is unavailable at startup.
The Anthropic SDK is imported lazily so a missing or broken `anthropic`
package degrades to Ollama-only operation instead of crashing the app.
