feat(chat): stored-transcript QA service (ADR-027)

A read-only deeper-dive over a video's already-stored transcript (ADR-021).
Safe by construction: the Service has no VideoSource and no caption-fetch
dependency — only a Completer factory over the existing LiteLLM gateway — so it
cannot reach YouTube or the rate gate. Reuses the summarizer's truncation
discipline (TAPIR_MAX_TRANSCRIPT_CHARS), reporting the cut so the UI can be
honest about a bounded transcript. Model defaults to the summary's model and is
switchable among an offered, local-first list; an un-offered alias is forced
back to the default so chat can never call the gateway with an arbitrary model.
Ephemeral: history is carried per-request, nothing persisted.

// Package chat implements the per-video deeper-dive chat (ADR-027): a read-only
// QA over a video's ALREADY-STORED transcript (ADR-021). It is the enforcement
// point for the feature's load-bearing safety property — stored-transcript-only:
// the Service has NO VideoSource and NO caption-fetch dependency, only a
// Completer factory, so it CANNOT reach YouTube or the rate gate by construction.
// The caller supplies the stored transcript text; chat never fetches.
//
// It reuses the same LiteLLM gateway as the summarizer (a chat is a different
// call, not a new integration) and the same transcript-truncation discipline
// (TAPIR_MAX_TRANSCRIPT_CHARS) so a long transcript fits a small-context model.
