fix(config): delete the model-routing chain — nothing has called it since April

Closes #116.

`config/models.yaml` declared a default chain and six per-skill chains. The
issue filed against it said the deployed service does not read the file. That
was true and understated: **nothing reads it at all**, and the loader written to
read it is dead too.

The whole chain goes:

- `config/models.yaml` — data with no consumer
- `internal/config/models.go` — `LoadModels` and `ModelFor`, whose only callers
  are in `models_test.go`
- `internal/config/config.go` — the `ModelsFile` field, assigned from
  `SUPERVISOR_MODELS_FILE` and never read
- `.env.example` — the variable that configures the path to the file nobody opens

Deleting the YAML alone would have left a loader pointing at a missing file:
one decoy replaced by another.

This subsystem had THREE PASSING TESTS. That is what kept it invisible. Green
assertions proving a function nobody calls works correctly are worse than no
tests, because coverage is exactly the signal someone would use to decide the
code is alive. The repo's own
`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-20-model-orchestration-design.md` said so in
April — "the model routing config exists but is dead weight" — and it survived
five more months anyway.

Two of the six models it named no longer exist (`iguana/qwen3-coder-next`,
retired in infra#416, and `koala/qwen3-coder-30b`, gone earlier). Nobody noticed
because the file being unread is the only reason it never failed.

Live routing is env, on the deployed `ingestion` service: `INGEST_LLM_MODEL`,
`BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_MODEL`, and four more. Not one name from the deleted file
appears there. Env is the real configuration surface; this file read as though
it were, which is why editing it to change routing would have changed nothing,
silently.

`go build ./...` clean, `task check` EXIT=0.
