fix(7A): host-side memory_dedup.py must stay stdlib-only

Broke the dedup-watcher cron when I wrote memory_dedup.py in session
7A: imported atocore.memory.similarity, which transitively pulls
sentence-transformers + pydantic_settings onto host Python that
intentionally doesn't have them. Every UI-triggered + cron dedup scan
since 7A deployed was silently crashing with ModuleNotFoundError
(visible only in /home/papa/atocore-logs/dedup-ondemand-*.log).

I even documented this architecture rule in atocore.memory._llm_prompt
('This module MUST stay stdlib-only') then violated it one session
later. Shame.

Real fix — matches the extractor pattern:
- New endpoint POST /admin/memory/dedup-cluster on the server: takes
  {project, similarity_threshold, max_clusters}, runs the embedding +
  transitive-clustering inside the container where
  sentence-transformers lives, returns cluster shape.
- scripts/memory_dedup.py now pure stdlib: pulls clusters via HTTP,
  LLM-drafts merges via claude CLI, POSTs proposals back. No atocore
  imports beyond the stdlib-only _dedup_prompt shared module.
- Regression test pins the rule: test_memory_dedup_script_is_stdlib_only
  snapshots sys.modules before/after importing the script and asserts
  no non-allowed atocore modules were pulled.

Also: similarity.py + cluster_by_threshold stay server-side, still
covered by the same tests that used to live in the host tier-helper
section.

Tests 459 → 458 (-1 via rewrite of obsolete host-tier helper tests,
+2 for the new stdlib-only regression + endpoint shape tests).
