Refactor apply_cached_repeat_penalty for optimized caching and reuse, add extensive unit tests, and integrate special handling for gemma-specific models.

Removed `test_request.sh`, deprecated functionality, and unused imports; introduced a new CLI tool (`cli.ts`) for testing inference engine and adjusted handling of non-streaming/streaming chat completions.

- Add CPU fallback support for text generation when primary device is unsupported
- Introduce `execute_with_fallback` method to handle device compatibility and shape mismatch errors
- Extend unit tests to reproduce tensor shape mismatch errors specific to model configurations
- Increase HTTP timeout limits in `curl_chat_stream.sh` script for reliable API testing

chat completion endpoint functions with gemma3 (no streaming)

Add benchmarking guide with HTML reporting, Leptos chat crate, and middleware for metrics tracking
