feat(lumen-model): smoke probe in EmbeddingModel::load — catch loader corruption at load time

Runs a single embed forward over a tiny multilingual probe ("hello 안녕")
at the end of `EmbeddingModel::load()` and verifies every output
component is finite + L2 norm ≈ 1.0. Catches silent NaN-class loader
bugs (the v0.4.2 BF16-as-F16 scales dtype mismatch that made
Qwen3-Embedding-4B-4bit-DWQ emit all-NaN embeddings) BEFORE the model
is exposed to user requests.

Failure path: load() returns Err → EmbeddingService::load propagates →
main.rs in lumen-server logs the diagnostic + sets /v1/embeddings to
503; chat endpoint untouched.

Overhead: ~50ms on 0.6B-8bit, ~150ms on 4B-DWQ. Cheap relative to
load (~1-4s) so always-on with no opt-out.
