Add model selection, dashboard chat input, and model warming

- Add GET /api/chat/ps and POST /api/chat/warm endpoints for hot model
  visibility and pre-loading
- Extend PATCH /api/chat/conversations/:id to accept model in addition
  to title
- Add ModelSelector component with hot/cold indicators from Ollama /api/ps
- Add DashboardChatInput component (model selector + note picker + textarea)
  replacing the simple "New Chat" button on the dashboard
- Add model selector dropdown to ChatView header, persisted per-conversation
- Warm default model on dashboard mount via fire-and-forget background task
- Configure Ollama with OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS=2 and OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=30m
- Always-visible edit buttons on NoteCard/TaskCard (remove hover-only behavior)
