Replace keyword heuristics with embedding-based semantic matching

CategoryCache now uses Ollama embeddings + cosine similarity for
true semantic category matching instead of weak keyword overlap.

Changes:
- src/calibration/category_cache.py: Use embedder.embeddings() API
  - Calculate embeddings for discovered and cached category descriptions
  - Compute cosine similarity between embedding vectors
  - Fall back to partial name matching if embeddings unavailable
  - Error handling with graceful degradation

- src/calibration/workflow.py: Pass feature_extractor.embedder
  - Provide Ollama client to CalibrationAnalyzer
  - Enables semantic matching during cache snap

- src/calibration/llm_analyzer.py: Accept embedding_model parameter
  - Forward embedder to CategoryCache constructor

Test Results (embedding-based vs keyword):
- "Training Materials" → "Training": 0.72 (was 0.15)
- "Team Updates" → "Work Communication": 0.62 (was 0.24)
- "System Alerts" → "Technical": 0.63 (was 0.12)
- "Meeting Invitations" → "Meetings": 0.75+ (exact match)

Semantic matching now properly identifies similar categories based
on meaning rather than superficial word overlap.
