Phase 5: Modernize — dynamic model lists, CI/CD, conditional nav

- Dynamic model fetching for OpenAI, Groq, Mistral with @st.cache_data(ttl=300)
  and automatic fallback to hardcoded lists when API keys are missing or calls fail
- Lazy wrapper functions in ollama_utils.py to avoid circular imports
- Updated 17 consumer files to use get_*_models() instead of static constants
- GitHub Actions CI pipeline (ruff lint + pytest)
- Voice Chat nav item only shown when pyaudio dependencies are available
- Annotated chroma_client.py as unused dead code
