Freeway: self-hosted OpenAI-compatible gateway for free-tier providers

One endpoint in front of every free LLM tier, with automatic failover and no
provider key ever leaving the box.

Providers are data, not code: adding one is a JSON file plus an env var, never
a TypeScript change. Ships 12 providers pre-written; `verify-provider --apply`
derives the live model list from your own key.

- core: registry, bucketed quota meter (rolling + UTC-calendar windows),
  key-pool store, 6-step model router with diagnostic rejection reasons
- gateway: node:http, failover that commits to a stream only after 200 headers,
  SSE passthrough with usage sniffing, virtual keys with admin/inference roles
- context engine: sqlite sessions and a 5-rung refit ladder, so a 128k thread
  keeps working when it fails over to an 8k model
- cache: exact (sha256, safe-by-default) + opt-in semantic (flat Float32Array)
- guard: inbound limits, quota forecasting, limit calibration from upstream
  headers, key health, secret/PII/injection scanning
- dashboard: one self-contained HTML file, live SSE request log, token usage
- sdk: zero-dep typed client, drop-in for the OpenAI SDK

Zero runtime dependencies. 326 tests, 27-check smoke suite against a scripted
mock upstream so routing is testable without spending quota.
