Local AI App Integration (Embeddable Lemonade)

Add a local AI mode to an existing app that already talks to a cloud AI API (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama-compatible). The app launches lemond, the Embeddable Lemonade binary, as a private subprocess and the existing client talks to it on http://localhost:PORT/api/v1. The user gets local, private, hardware-optimized inference (CPU, AMD iGPU/dGPU, XDNA2 NPU) with no separate install.

What you'll end up with: one new launcher module (~30 lines), three mandatory changes to the existing HTTP client (base_url, api_key, and a 120-second HTTP timeout), one vendored binary under vendor/lemonade/.
