revert(ai-http): drop resilient fetch/RetryAgent layer (#140)

The custom undici RetryAgent + aiFetch transport added for issue #140
did not actually heal mid-stream provider drops: undici's retry path is
a Range-based download-resume that SSE/chat-completions endpoints cannot
satisfy, so a reset after the first byte only swapped ECONNRESET for a
"server does not support the range header" error. Its only real effect
was reconnecting a poisoned keep-alive socket before the first byte, and
PR #141 on top of it turned the 60s headers timeout into deterministic
~61s failures (plus CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH from retrying a POST body
after a timeout abort). The root cause is the z.ai coding endpoint, not
our transport.

Remove the whole layer and return all AI provider calls to Node's
default global fetch.

- delete integrations/ai/ai-http.ts and its spec
- ai.service.ts: drop the aiFetch import, the AI_BYPASS_RESILIENT_FETCH
  diagnostic toggle, and fetch:aiFetch from every chat/embedding/STT
  factory; raw STT call back to global fetch
- ai-chat.controller.ts: drop the stream-timing START log + startedAt
- ai-chat.service.ts: drop the first-chunk/FINISHED/ERROR timing logs
- .env.example: drop AI_BYPASS_RESILIENT_FETCH

Reverts: 1af5d34a, 7c308728, b7abb7ea, 35fc58ea, d6cd2754, 6efb8656.
Preserved (not part of the rollback): client-disconnect abort, title
generation in onFinish, partial-answer persistence, Safari SSE heartbeat.

/**
* Dedicated, resilient outbound HTTP layer for ALL AI provider calls.
*
* WHY THIS EXISTS
* ---------------
* Production logs showed the AI chat stream (and title generation) failing with
* `read ECONNRESET` after the AI SDK's own retries were exhausted, and
* (z.ai GLM coding endpoint, #140) intermittently stalling without ever sending
* response headers until undici's 300s default cut the request with no retry. The provider
* clients were built with NO custom `fetch`, so all outbound LLM traffic used
* Node's default global undici agent: default keep-alive pooling and NO
* transport-level reconnect on connection resets. `read ECONNRESET` is a TCP RST
* on a reused/poisoned keep-alive socket against the upstream provider/gateway.
* The AI SDK retried, but every attempt reused the same poisoned condition and
* hit the same error.
*
* WHAT THIS DOES
* --------------
* It builds a single shared undici `RetryAgent` and exposes a `fetch`-compatible
* `aiFetch`, which is injected into every AI SDK provider factory via the
* provider `fetch` option. That covers chat stream, public-share chat, title
* generation, embeddings, STT and the test-connection probe at once.
*
* The RetryAgent retries CONNECTION-LEVEL errors (e.g. ECONNRESET) on a FRESH
* socket — opening a new connection rather than reusing the poisoned one. POST is
* explicitly opted in, because every LLM/chat/embedding/STT call is a POST and
* undici's default retry `methods` list excludes POST. HTTP-STATUS retries
* (429/5xx + Retry-After) are deliberately left to the AI SDK to avoid
* double-retry; this layer only handles transport-level reconnects.
*
* MID-STREAM NOTE
* --------------
* This squarely fixes the production case: a reset BEFORE any response byte —
* undici reconnects on a fresh socket (no Range header). If a reset instead
* happens AFTER partial SSE bytes were already delivered, undici's RetryHandler
* attempts a Range-resume retry; LLM/SSE endpoints do not support Range and
* reject it, so the error surfaces as "server does not support the range header
* and the payload was partially consumed" instead of the raw ECONNRESET. The
* stream is NEVER corrupted (undici guards against concatenation) — only the
* error message for that rarer mid-stream case changes.
*/
// `headersTimeout` bounds time-to-FIRST-response-headers (before any body). It
// is NOT the streaming budget: once headers arrive the SSE body streams freely,
// unaffected by this value — so it is safe to keep SHORT. Some providers (seen
// with the z.ai GLM coding endpoint, #140) intermittently accept the request but
// never send response headers; undici's 300s default then hangs the user for
// FIVE MINUTES before failing, with no retry. Cap it so a stalled request fails
// FAST and is retried on a fresh connection (the retry usually lands on a healthy
// path and responds in seconds). Env-overridable for ops tuning.
const HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS =
Number(process.env.AI_HTTP_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS) || 60_000;

// a stale/half-closed socket can be reused, which is exactly the condition
// that produces `read ECONNRESET`. Do NOT raise this.
