Stage 1 of the candle-native pivot. Replaces the external-process
harness model (mistralrs over HTTP, llamacpp placeholder) with an
in-process Harness trait whose sole implementation is candle. The
trait keeps its shape so future engines slot in additively, but
start/stop default to no-ops and HarnessConfig drops endpoint and
systemd_unit since no harness needs external supervision.
Behaviour is unchanged on the wire: load_model returns a "not
implemented yet (Stage 2)" error and list_models is empty. The
gateway-side proxy, poller, and router are untouched.
CLAUDE.md Phase 11 (llama.cpp) and Phase 12 (mistral.rs COPR) are
marked superseded; the staged plan lives in
~/.claude/plans/create-a-more-aggressive-calm-naur.md.

- cortex.spec: gateway binary, cortex.service systemd unit,
cortex.toml + models.toml config files
- neuron.spec: neuron binary, neuron.service systemd unit,
neuron.toml config file
- Parallel CI: srpm-cortex and srpm-neuron jobs build SRPMs
concurrently, then publish to separate COPR repos
(helexa/cortex and helexa/neuron)
- Shared cortex user/group across both packages
- Example configs: cortex.example.toml, neuron.example.toml,
models.example.toml
