feat: add FOREMAN_KEEP_ALIVE config for worker model residency

Allow configuring how long the worker model stays resident on the Ollama
target after a request via FOREMAN_KEEP_ALIVE env var. Accepts Ollama
duration strings ("-1" forever, "0" unload, "15m", "1h", etc). Defaults
to "-1" (pin forever). The embedder warm-up is unaffected and always
uses keep_alive=-1.
