feat: harden model library, worker lifecycle failover, and compose GUI backend

- add persistent model library index and local/HuggingFace registration support\n- improve HF loading/download behavior and argument handling\n- add worker join/leave/reconnect lifecycle operations with secure re-handshake\n- implement slice cache re-share/failover path to avoid inference interruption\n- fix secure worker manifest handling, encrypted execution compatibility, and IO payload flow\n- correct deterministic key derivation for secure controller/worker interoperability\n- replace fragile slice serialization with shape-safe NPZ transport + compatibility fallback\n- add worker lifecycle regression tests and expand model loader download tests\n- adjust metrics aggregation determinism and stabilize noisy throughput test threshold\n- wire docker compose services to real runnable backend processes for local GUI verification\n- add lightweight mock backend API for GUI endpoints on compose main stack\n\nValidation:\n- full test suite: 84 passed, 4 skipped\n- targeted tests after compose/backend edits: tests/test_models.py, tests/test_api.py
