* Stop HF 429 rate limits from sinking the llama.cpp prebuilt path in Studio CI
The Windows Studio API smoke job failed when anonymous huggingface.co
fetches of the tiny GGUF validation model (stories260K.gguf) hit HTTP 429
on the shared runner IP. The installer correctly refused the unvalidated
prebuilt and fell back to a source build, which the prebuilt assert then
flags. Three layers fix this:
1. Installer: auth_headers sends HF_TOKEN (or HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN) to
huggingface.co hosts, mirroring the existing GH_TOKEN handling for the
GitHub API rate limit. A redirect handler strips Authorization when a
download is redirected off-host (CDN signed URLs reject foreign auth;
urllib forwards headers on redirect, unlike requests/huggingface_hub).
2. Workflows: the HF_HOME prime steps also prefetch the validation model
so the install's hf_hub_download resolves from the local cache even
when the Hub is rate limiting; cache keys bumped v1 to v2 to repopulate.
This also covers fork PRs, which cannot see secrets.
3. Workflows: every Install Studio / update step that already passes
GH_TOKEN now also passes HF_TOKEN, so both the huggingface_hub path and
the direct URL fallback are authenticated.
Tests: tests/studio/install/test_hf_auth.py covers token-to-host routing,
the cross-host redirect strip, and the download_bytes wiring (offline).
Verified live: authenticated download of the validation model through the
new opener (CDN redirect exercised, pinned sha matches) and an offline
hf_hub_download cache hit against an HF_HOME primed by the new step.

Make macOS llama.cpp prebuilt selection host-OS-version aware: skip a prebuilt whose minimum-OS exceeds the host and walk back to the newest release that loads (macOS 26 keeps latest; 14/15 land on a compatible older release). Source-build fallback pins CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=13.3. CI: binary-load assertion plus a macos-14/15/26 install matrix. No change to Linux/Windows or CUDA selection.
