perf: run auxiliary LLM calls on a small model, big model only for the answer

Intent judging, tool routing and arg extraction are classification/JSON calls,
not the spoken answer, yet the stack aliased OLLAMA_INTENT_MODEL back to the big
chat model — so each command paid the big model's cost 2-3 times for routing
before the reply even ran. With the GPU on, that round-trip stacking is the main
remaining per-turn latency. Default OLLAMA_INTENT_MODEL to qwen2.5:3b (the
project's reference small model, clean Korean on classification) and have
ollama-init pull it. The reply engine already routes these calls through
intent_judge_model, so answer quality is untouched; set OLLAMA_INTENT_MODEL =
OLLAMA_CHAT_MODEL to fold back onto one resident model.

+  - `ollama_num_predict` (default `512`, `0`/negative disables) caps the chat model's generated tokens per turn via the Ollama `num_predict` option on the messages-loop call. Spoken (TTS) answers are 1-2 sentences, so this never clips a normal answer; it bounds the worst-case latency of a model that occasionally rambles or loops. The default headroom sits well above this app's short tool-call JSON, so it does not truncate tool calls. Applied uniformly to the reply loop's chat call (both native-tools and text-tools paths); the small classification passes (intent judge, digests) keep their own caps. Note: this is a worst-case guard, not the primary latency lever, which is model size and GPU residency.

 ### Behaviour
 
-- Public schema is a single required `query` string (what to play).
+- Public schema is a required `query` string (what to play) plus an optional
+  `index` integer (1-based position in the search results, counted from the top

+  map to `index=3` / `index=2`.
 - **Mode-gated**: only acts when `STREAM_BROWSER` is true (`cfg.stream_browser`).
   In voice-only mode (false) there is no screen to show, so it returns a short
   message and does nothing.
 - Drives the on-screen Chrome by subprocessing the Node CDP helper
-  `bot/scripts/stream-test/browse-search.mjs <query> youtube`, which searches
