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.

"""Pet generation orchestration — the base-draft → hatch flow.
Two steps, mirroring the UX across every surface:
1. :func:`generate_base_drafts` — a handful of prompt-only "what should this pet
look like" variants. Cheap; the user picks one (or retries for a fresh set).
2. :func:`hatch_pet` — takes the chosen base and generates one grounded row
strip per Hermes state, slices each into frames, composes the atlas, validates
it, and writes the pet into the store.
Splitting it this way bounds cost (4 cheap base calls per round; the ~6 row
calls happen once, on the pet you actually keep) and gives each UI a natural
preview/loading point.
