* fix(vram): persist remote probe metadata
The startup warmer repeated remote size and GGUF metadata probes after every restart because both caches lived only in memory. Store successful HTTP probes for 24 hours so frequent restarts reuse the prior results.
Bound the cache, reject invalid records, and purge it when gallery data changes. Local model files continue to bypass persistence.

* fix(vram): check temporary file cleanup
The lint gate rejects the unchecked cleanup call in the persistent cache writer.

* fix(vram): make persistent cache optional
Remote metadata probes can transfer enough data that operators need
control over disk reuse and startup warming. Gallery autoload now gates
both behaviors, and the runtime setting applies changes immediately.

* fix(ui): expose gallery startup pre-warm
The existing gallery autoload setting also gates the startup metadata warmer. Name both effects in Settings so operators can find the requested boot control.
