feat(models): commit models.schema.json and validate the SPOT against it in CI (#196)

models.json has declared `"$schema": "./models.schema.json"` since v3.11.0, but
that file was never committed — `git log --all -- models.schema.json` is empty.
So the SPOT that ADR 0003 makes canonical had NO structural validation: a
missing contextWindow, a typo'd openclawName, or a boolean written as a string
would pass every existing test and only surface downstream — in OpenClaw's
registry, or silently inside a truncation budget.

Validated with the repo's OWN validator (lib/structured-output.mjs, shipped for
#153) rather than adding ajv. AGENTS.md requires minimal dependencies and the
repo currently has ZERO; this keeps it that way and exercises that validator on
a second real input. Capability-probed first rather than assumed: it enforces
type / required / enum / const / additionalProperties (both the boolean and the
schema form) / items / minItems, which covers everything the SPOT needs.

Three tests:
  - the $schema reference resolves to a committed file (the #196 bug itself)
  - models.json validates against models.schema.json, strict
  - the schema actually REJECTS 8 corruption shapes — missing required field,
    wrong scalar type, non-integer window, unknown extra field, alias mapped to
    a non-string, empty models array, wrong document version, unknown
    top-level key

That third test is the guard-on-the-guard: without it a vacuous schema (`{}` or
a typo'd `properties`) would make the second test pass on anything.

Mutation-proven in three directions:
  schema replaced with {}              -> "schema failed to reject: missing required field"
  additionalProperties:false removed   -> guard fails (loosened constraint caught)
  models.json corrupted (drop a field) -> strict validation fails

What the schema deliberately does NOT encode: referential integrity — that
every aliases/legacyAliases target exists as a models[].id. That is not a JSON
Schema concept; it is already covered by two dedicated tests, and the schema
says so in its description so the next reader doesn't assume it is covered.

The field descriptions carry the non-obvious consequences that have bitten this
repo before: contextWindow is a GLOBAL lever (max across all entries x 3 sets
MAX_PROMPT_CHARS for every model, ADR 0009), maxTokens is advertising only and
is enforced by OpenClaw rather than OCP, and models[] order is load-bearing
because ocp-connect uses model_ids[0] as a fallback.

Documented per release_kit (new file/SPOT/schema -> contributor section):
AGENTS.md "Key files to know" and README's Available Models section.

Tests: 460 passed, 0 failed (457 + 3).
