feat(llm-serving): serve clef-flash on candle-vllm

Adds clef-candle.yaml: clef-flash (hybrid Qwen3_5, 8 attention + 24 GDN
layers) on one V100 via candle-vllm, and repoints the clef-serve Service
selector at it. The Service name and ClusterIP do not move, so no client
changes.

Runs on one card because the GDN recurrent state is per-sequence and cannot
be sharded the way attention KV can. --kv-fraction 0.30 gives about 66.8K KV
tokens, which is ample for a single-shot classifier-style endpoint.

The image is candle-vllm:sm70, built by .gitea/workflows/candle-vllm-sm70.yaml
on every merge to main. It must be a build containing the GDN conv fix: older
images zero the key channel band in causal_conv1d_fwd, starve the delta rule
and make every linear-attention layer return zero. That failure is silent -
the response is well formed, just wrong.

Verified against the reference implementation: token ids 420/420 identical,
beta 8647.021 vs 8646.982, delta-rule and gated-norm absmax equal to six
decimals, all three head answers agree.
