* feat: Introduce structured error handling for llamacpp extension
This commit introduces a structured error handling system for the `llamacpp` extension. Instead of returning simple string errors, we now use a custom `LlamacppError` struct with a specific `ErrorCode` enum. This allows the frontend to display more user-friendly and actionable error messages based on the code, rather than raw debug logs.
The changes include:
- A new `ErrorCode` enum to categorize errors (e.g., `OutOfMemory`, `ModelArchNotSupported`, `BinaryNotFound`).
- A `LlamacppError` struct to encapsulate the code, a user-facing message, and optional detailed logs.
- A static method `from_stderr` that intelligently parses llama.cpp's standard error output to identify and map common issues like Out of Memory errors to a specific error code.
- Refactored `ServerError` enum to wrap the new `LlamacppError` and provide a consistent serialization format for the Tauri frontend.
- Updated all relevant functions (`load_llama_model`, `get_devices`) to return the new structured error type, ensuring a more robust and predictable error flow.
- A reduced timeout for model loading from 300 to 180 seconds.
This work lays the groundwork for a more intuitive and helpful user experience, as the application can now provide clear guidance to users when a model fails to load.

* refactor: Use more precise terminology in API server logs and error messages
This commit refactors several log and error messages to use more accurate and consistent terminology.
- Replaced "backend servers" and "backend model servers" with "models" or "sessions" to better reflect the service's internal structure.
- Changed "Proxy server" to "Jan API server" to more accurately describe the server's function.
- Removed a redundant debug log message.
These changes are cosmetic and improve the readability and consistency of the logging output.

* refactor: move session management & port allocation to backend
- Remove the in‑process `activeSessions` map and its cleanup logic from the TypeScript side.
- Introduce new Tauri commands in Rust:
- `get_random_port` – picks an unused port using a seeded RNG and checks availability.
- `find_session_by_model` – returns the `SessionInfo` for a given model ID.
- `get_loaded_models` – returns a list of currently loaded model IDs.
- Update the extension’s TypeScript code to use these commands via `invoke`:
- `findSessionByModel`, `load`, `unload`, `chat`, `getLoadedModels`, and `embed` now operate asynchronously and query the backend.
- Remove the old `is_port_available` command and the custom port‑checking loop.
- Simplify `onUnload` – session termination is now handled by the backend.
- Drop unused helpers (`sleep`, `waitForModelLoad`) and related port‑availability code.
- Add missing Rust imports (`rand::{StdRng,Rng,SeedableRng}`, `HashSet`) and improve error handling.
- Register the new commands in `src-tauri/src/lib.rs` (replace `is_port_available` with the three new commands).
This refactor centralises session state and port allocation in the Rust backend, eliminates duplicated logic, and resolves race conditions around model loading and session cleanup.

* feat: Add support for overriding tensor buffer type
This commit introduces a new configuration option, `override_tensor_buffer_t`, which allows users to specify a regex for matching tensor names to override their buffer type. This is an advanced setting primarily useful for optimizing the performance of large models, particularly Mixture of Experts (MoE) models.
By overriding the tensor buffer type, users can keep critical parts of the model, like the attention layers, on the GPU while offloading other parts, such as the expert feed-forward networks, to the CPU. This can lead to significant speed improvements for massive models.
Additionally, this change refines the error message to be more specific when a model fails to load. The previous message "Failed to load llama-server" has been updated to "Failed to load model" to be more accurate.
