New optional SamplingOverride forwarded to llama-server as
chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking (gates Qwen3-style reasoning
blocks). None leaves the template default; other backends ignore it.
Wired through the agentic-insight and chat-turn request bodies/handlers.

ALL-mode over-constrains NL queries — the model maps several query words to
tags and few photos carry every one, zeroing the candidate set. Switch to
ANY (a photo matches if it has any named tag); the semantic CLIP ranking
provides precision within that pool. Exclude tags still filter out.

When structured filters are present they're the constraint and CLIP only ranks
within the candidate set, so drop the global similarity threshold for that
case. Previously the 0.2 whole-library threshold ran BEFORE intersecting with
the filters, discarding filter-matching photos that scored just under it (e.g.
a 2022 beach photo at 0.18) — producing after_struct_filter=0 even when matches
existed. Plain semantic (no filters) keeps the user's threshold.

Pin the NL->structured translation to a small, fast model that can stay
co-resident with CLIP (and the chat model) so it never evicts them on a tight
VRAM budget. Precedence: UNIFIED_SEARCH_MODEL env > client-selected model >
configured default. Logs the effective model (backend.model()) so model A/B
tests are visible. Documented in .env.example.

Log the translated query (semantic/tags/place/date/media + has_struct), the
tag-filter file count, candidate-row + allowed-hash counts, and the CLIP
considered/hits/after-filter counts. Pinpoints which stage drops results to
zero (over-extracted filter, tag path mismatch, Any/All over-constraint, or
CLIP threshold). info-level for now while debugging.

Add an optional `model` query param to /photos/search/unified, passed into
resolve_backend's overrides. The client sends the user's currently-selected
local model so the translation step reuses an already-loaded model instead of
forcing a llama-swap eviction + cold start. Falls back to the configured
default when absent. Still local only (no hybrid).

Composes the two existing engines (Path A orchestration):
- Translate NL -> StructuredQuery via local LLM, respecting LLM_BACKEND
(resolve_backend(Local) -> ollama or llama-swap; no hybrid).
- Forward-geocode the place name into a gps circle.
- Structured filters (tags/EXIF/geo/date/media) build a candidate set of EXIF
rows; CLIP ranks within it, joined by content_hash. Degenerate cases match
existing behavior: semantic-only -> plain CLIP; filters-only -> date-sorted.
- Echoes the interpreted query (incl. resolved place) for editable client chips.
Refactor: extracted reusable cores from clip_search (score_photos, resolve_hits,
parse_library_scope, score_error_response) shared by both endpoints. Removed the
Phase 1 allow-until-wired attributes now that nl_query + geo are consumed.
fmt + clippy clean; 23 backend tests pass (7 geo, 12 nl_query, 4 unified).
