Detect, align and embed faces with SCRFD and MobileFaceNet

Ports the pipeline from the C++ reference in ../scene-actor-extraction
(MIT, same author). End to end on real portraits it separates identities
the way the reference's fitted calibration says it should: 0.596 between
distinct photographs of one person, 0.05 between different people, either
side of MBF's 0.267 boundary.

Three things are structural rather than incidental:

Aligned112 can only be built by align::warp, so Embedder::embed cannot be
handed an unaligned bounding-box crop. That mistake yields 512 plausible
unit-norm numbers and no error, so the type system refuses it instead.

Embedding carries its ModelId and cosine() returns None across models,
because a cross-model similarity is the one mistake that produces
plausible garbage rather than a failure.

The model-free half -- alignment, embedding arithmetic, f16 storage --
sits outside the inference feature and is covered by 11 tests that need
no weights on the machine.

Against the reference's fitted MBF boundary of cos 0.267 (§1), 0.596 and 0.05 fall either side with
room to spare — which is the check that the port's pre-processing, letterbox inversion and alignment
are right, since any of them being wrong degrades the same-identity number first.
The duplicate row is not a curiosity: several files in that gallery are byte-identical under
different names, which is exactly the case §8.2's dedup step exists for, and it would otherwise stack
the positive histogram at cos ≈ 1 with pairs that teach the fit nothing.
**M2/M3, provisionally, on the reference desktop:** detection **~1.0–1.4 s** per image, embedding
**~160–280 ms** per face, model load 80–90 ms for the pair. Slower than the extrapolation in §12's M2
row, which guessed SCRFD-500M would come in under YOLO26n-seg's 470 ms — tract is not ORT, and this
is what it costs. A 17k-image library at ~1.3 s plus ~1.5 faces each is on the order of **7 hours** of
background indexing. That is survivable for a resumable, preempted background job (FR-CULL-8) and it
is not survivable on a phone, so NFR-RES-2 needs its own measurement rather than an extrapolation
from this one. Not yet profiled: how much of the detection second is tract and how much is the
scalar letterbox resample in front of it.
