Ettore Di Giacinto ae059ab897 backend(audio-cpp): enforce ModelIdentity on VAD and Diarize
audio-cpp was the only C++ backend without the model-identity guard, and no
later task in the plan added it. pkg/grpc/server.go enforces checkModelIdentity
on exactly these two RPCs, for the reason #10952 records: in distributed mode a
worker can recycle a stopped backend's gRPC port for another model's backend,
and the controller's liveness-only probe cannot tell a stale cached route from a
live one. Without this guard a stale route gets a different model's VAD or
diarization answer back with a 200.

The loaded identity lives on LoadedModel rather than in a separate global, which
is where this differs from llama-cpp. A handler holding the model through
snapshot() then necessarily judges against the identity that model was loaded
with, and a concurrent reload cannot swap one without the other. The refusal is
NOT_FOUND carrying the verbatim grpcerrors.ModelMismatchSentinel substring.

session_for and run_offline now take a const LaneEntry & proof-of-holding
parameter. The rule that both must run under the inference lane was prose, which
is exactly how the plan came to specify the inverted order; it is now a compile
error. Restoring the inverted order fails to build rather than racing on an
unsynchronised session map with a mutating prepare().

Diarize's speaker-hint comment claimed the dropped hints were "not a silent
failure". From the caller's side that is what they are, and backend.proto
documents num_speakers as forcing, so the comment now says plainly that the
forwarding is dead for sortformer and that the family which lands must either
honour num_speakers or refuse it. read_audio_file inspects the error_code from
exists(), so an unsearchable parent directory no longer reports as a missing
file. The VAD handler records the stimulus that actually works, since silero
correctly ignores synthetic tones and the next task would otherwise rediscover
that.
