root a9191cee00 feat(workers): free Ollama VRAM before loading Whisper on the GPU
Whisper (CT 311) and Ollama (CT 102) share one A2000. Before loading
Whisper on CUDA, ask Ollama to unload its models (GET /api/ps then POST
/api/generate keep_alive:0) and wait for the card to clear, so the GPU
load has headroom. Best-effort and stdlib-only; Ollama reloads
cooperatively, and the existing CUDA->CPU fallback covers any failure.
Toggle via OLLAMA_FREE_BEFORE_STT; endpoint via OLLAMA_URL.

"""Cooperative GPU sharing with Ollama.
Whisper (this worker, CT 311) and Ollama (CT 102) both pass through Z's single
RTX A2000. Before Whisper loads on the GPU we ask Ollama to unload its models so
there's room; Ollama transparently reloads on its next request. Everything here
is best-effort and never raises — if Ollama is unreachable or slow, Whisper
still tries the GPU and falls back to CPU (see model.py).
Stdlib urllib only (the workers carry no `requests`/`httpx` dependency).
