Two issues caused the app to freeze on "Starting sidecar...":

1. wait_for_ready() used a blocking BufReader::lines() iterator
   with a timeout check between lines. If the sidecar produced no
   stdout output (crashed, missing binary, or slow model loading),
   the read blocked forever. Now uses a background thread with
   mpsc::recv_timeout() for a real 120s deadline.

2. start_sidecar was a synchronous Tauri command that blocked the
   main thread during the entire sidecar startup (up to 120s).
   Now async via tokio::spawn_blocking, keeping the UI responsive.

Also logs all sidecar stdout lines to stderr with [sidecar-stdout]
prefix for debugging.
