* fix(llm): LM Studio translation failed on a placeholder model name (#1332)

Reported as a clean A/B: translation works through Ollama and fails
through LM Studio on the same machine. The difference is one line in the
provider table. LM Studio shipped `local-model` as its default_model,
which is a placeholder, not a model id — LM Studio serves whatever the
user has loaded and 404s a name it does not know. Ollamas default is
`llama3.1`, a real name people actually pull, so the identical code path
worked there.

No name we ship can be right, because the answer depends on what the user
loaded. So ask the server: resolve_model now discovers from /v1/models for
providers whose default is a placeholder, positioned BELOW any explicit
env or stored setting so it can never override a deliberate choice, and
above the default so a server that is down leaves the caller where it was.

Cached per provider — translation resolves the model per segment and a
round-trip each time would trade a broken setup for a slow one — and
dropped whenever a base_url or model edit could invalidate it, since a
stale id would make the users change look like it did nothing.

Also: a 404 from a LOCAL provider is almost never a wrong URL, because the
request reached the server. The generic "check the model name and Base URL
path" sends the user to audit a URL that works, so a local 404 now names
the models that ARE loaded, or says the server has none.

* fix(llm): bound the discovery cache both ways; do not over-claim a 404

Three review findings, all valid, all about the cache being permanent in
one direction or absent in the other.

- A failed probe was not remembered, so a stopped LM Studio cost a 5s
  timeout on EVERY translated segment — a 200-segment dub would spend
  1000s discovering nothing, worse than the bug being fixed. Remembered
  for 30s: short enough that starting the server recovers in seconds
  rather than needing a restart.
- A successful discovery was cached forever, so swapping the loaded model
  inside LM Studio 404d every translation until an app restart. Now a 300s
  TTL, plus an immediate invalidation when a local 404 proves the cached
  name is one the server rejects.
- _local_models collapsed a FAILED listing into [], which let the error say
  "reports no loaded models" about a lookup that never happened — a
  confident wrong diagnosis replacing a vague right one. None vs [] are
  now distinct, and the generic 404 text stands when nothing was
  established.

The cache therefore cannot be a dict[str, str]: "no entry" and "we looked
and there was nothing" have to be distinguishable for the negative case to
be cacheable at all.

Five tests, three failing before this change. They age the cache entry
rather than patching time.monotonic — that name is the stdlib`s, shared
with sqlite and logging, and freezing it breaks the settings store
underneath the test.

"""Translation must work on LM Studio, not just on Ollama (#1332).
A user reported that translation works through Ollama and fails through LM
Studio on the same machine — a clean A/B that rules out the surrounding
pipeline. The cause is in the provider table: LM Studio's `default_model` was
the string ``"local-model"``, which is a placeholder and not a model id. LM
Studio serves whatever the user has loaded and rejects a name it does not know,
so every request 404s. Ollama's default is ``llama3.1`` — a real name that
people actually pull — so the same code path worked there.
There is no name we could ship that would be right, because the answer depends
on what the user loaded. So the fix asks the server, and these tests pin the
parts that would silently regress: that discovery never overrides a user's
explicit choice, that it stays off for providers with real defaults, and that a
server which is down or empty leaves the caller no worse off.
