feat(sync): fail fast with a modal when a model is unavailable

TODO.md L4: with a dead model endpoint the sync discovered it only
mid-import, after slow clones — and a tooltip on the button is not a
readable error.

- app/rag/llm.py: ModelUnavailableError + check_models(llm) — a tiny
  pre-sync probe (one short embedding + one 1-token-scale completion)
  that fails naming the unavailable model (embed first, then the
  summary model); the sync sanitizer still masks credentials.
- app/api/sync.py: the probe is step 1 of _run_sync — before source
  resolution and before any clone_or_pull; a model failure is just
  another 'failed' state (no new endpoint, A10/A12 untouched).
- frontend/assets/header.js: applySyncFailure now also opens the
  module-owned error modal (every page carrying #sync-btn, zero
  page-markup changes): lazily built backdrop + role=alertdialog
  panel, error text via textContent, close via button / Esc /
  backdrop, focus in-and-out to #sync-btn (with a body→#sync-btn
  fallback — the run's disabled button drops focus to <body>).
- frontend/assets/styles.css: the modal on the phase-08 error palette
  (z-index above the header, .is-open open/close, reduced-motion
  stilling, 44px close target).
- Tests: probe unit tests (both up / embed down / summary down /
  custom model names), sync integration (fail-fast before any clone,
  probe-before-effective_sources ordering, credential masking,
  healthy regression), the phase-41 source pins, and the story E2E
  (two module apps on distinct ports — dead endpoint on a closed
  loopback port vs session mock: ≤10 s fail-fast + modal contract,
  all three dismissal paths with focus out to #sync-btn, button
  title/.is-error + Sources banner untouched, healthy phase-32
  lifecycle regression to 'Synced HH:MM').

E2E (isolation): test_sync_model_down.py 4/4, test_sync_button.py
3/3, test_git_sources_admin.py 6/6, test_local_directory_sources.py
3/3; unit+integration 721 passed, app/ coverage 99%; ruff + pyright
clean.

"""Phase 41 E2E (Playwright): model-down sync fails fast with a modal.
Story: ``.agent/user_stories/sync-model-fail-fast.md``
Run in isolation (DB must be up: ``podman compose up -d db``; git on
PATH — a documented environment prerequisite, phase 28):
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_sync_model_down.py -v --no-cov
The story gate proves the whole story in the browser against a
**dead model endpoint**:
* the pre-sync probe (``app.rag.llm.check_models``) fails the run
**before source resolution and before any clone** — a click against
the dead endpoint settles retry-ready with a model-naming modal in
a short wall-clock budget (≤ ~10 s, vs the phase-32 healthy run's
generous 60 s budget);
* the modal contract (AC 2): ``role="alertdialog"`` +
``aria-modal="true"`` + the "Sync failed" title + the sanitized,
model-naming error text, dismissed via the × button, ``Esc``, or a
backdrop click — focus in-and-out to ``#sync-btn``;
* the existing surfaces stay (AC 4): the button's failed-state
``title`` / ``aria-label`` / ``.is-error`` affordance and the
Sources page's ``#sync-error-banner`` (rendered off
``bor:sync-status``);
* the healthy pipeline is untouched (AC 5): a **second** module app
(session mock, real ``file://`` clone → import → overview) still
runs the full phase-32 lifecycle to "Synced HH:MM" — the probe did
not break the happy path.
Two module-scoped apps on distinct ports (the ``test_sync_button.py``
module-app pattern): the dead-model app on ``APP_PORT + 41`` with
``BOR_LLM_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9/v1`` (a closed port — an
instant connection refused on loopback) pointed at a **real**
``file://`` fixture repo, so a regressed, non-fail-fast run would
spend real time cloning before failing; and the healthy app on
``APP_PORT`` (the session mock — the conftest session app never boots
in this isolated run, so no port clash).
Test → story mapping (Playwright Mapping Rule):
1. ``test_model_down_fails_fast_with_modal`` → AC 1 + 2 (fast fail
before any clone; the modal with the model-naming error)
2. ``test_modal_dismissal`` → AC 2 (× / Esc / backdrop, one fresh
failure per path, focus back to ``#sync-btn`` each time)
3. ``test_sync_error_surfaces_unaffected`` → AC 4 (button
title/``.is-error``; the Sources banner off ``bor:sync-status``)
4. ``test_healthy_sync_still_succeeds`` → AC 5 (phase 32/35/38
regression: counts + the idempotent second run)
