Brooklyn Nicholson e92b5c6af8 feat(pets): quality-first OpenRouter model chain + stronger atlas gates + global pet-gen notifications
OpenRouter/Nous image gen now runs a quality-first model chain by default:
attempt the highest-fidelity OpenAI image model first, then fall back to
Gemini 3 Pro Image when it's access-gated/unavailable/times out. An explicit
OPENROUTER_IMAGE_MODEL / config model override pins one model with no fallback.

Atlas validation rejects malformed model output instead of shipping it: adds a
per-state collapse guard (a single sliver/fragment row no longer passes because
other rows are healthy), on top of the existing postage-stamp + multi-pose
checks.

Desktop: pet-gen native notifications are now "global" (not tied to a chat
session), so a background generation started from the command center fires an
OS notification when the user is away even with no active session. Adds a
neutral "This can take up to 5 minutes." banner on step 1, and lets the
provider picker auto-size.

Tests updated/added for the OpenRouter fallback chain, the collapse guard, and
the global notification path.

"""Thin image-generation layer for pet sprites.
Wraps the active :class:`~agent.image_gen_provider.ImageGenProvider` with the
two things sprite generation needs that the agent-facing ``image_generate`` tool
doesn't expose: **N variants** (loop) and **reference-image grounding** (so each
animation row stays the same character as the chosen base).
Reference grounding only works on providers that support it — currently OpenAI
``gpt-image-2`` (image edits) and Krea (style references). We resolve to one of
those and surface a clear, actionable error otherwise rather than silently
producing an ungrounded, drifting pet.
