Revert ML search (#50) to restore a green next (build fix pending)
check / check (push) Successful in 18s

Reverts the #50 merge (224bd101): mlsearch.ts failed tsc in the CI build (make check does not run make build, so it slipped past review). next restored to green; #50 to be redone with make build in its gate.

// The content-similarity search surface over the CLIP index (issue #50).
//
// This is `lib.mldata`. It answers three questions against the ML-data cache
// (#49) without touching the network:
//
// - `forFile` returns the whole stored payload (face boxes, landmarks,
// embedding) for a file, read from disk on demand — the only method here
// that touches the disk, and the only one that is async.
// - `similar` and `searchByEmbedding` rank fileIDs by cosine similarity over
// the packed `Float32Array` index alone. That index (~50k×512) already
// lives in RAM, so each query is a plain loop over it and nothing else.
//
// quak bundles no text encoder (owner-deferred), so `searchByEmbedding` takes
// the query vector the caller has produced elsewhere; `similar` uses the
// query file's own indexed embedding.

// the index mutates as ML data is fetched, and one plain pass over ~50k×512
