Bind mlx_contiguous and _mlx_array_is_row_contiguous from mlx-c.
Floats(), DataInt32(), and Ints() now automatically handle non-contiguous
arrays (from Transpose, BroadcastTo, SliceAxis, etc.) by checking
IsRowContiguous() and making a contiguous copy when needed.
Previously these methods returned silently wrong data for view arrays.
The old workaround of Reshape(arr, totalSize) is no longer needed.
7 new tests for contiguous handling (transpose, broadcast, slice views).

Replace local TextModel, Backend, Token, Message, and option types with
forge.lthn.ai/core/go-inference. go-mlx is now a pure backend that
registers "metal" into the shared inference registry via init().
Deleted: textmodel.go, options.go, backend.go
Updated: register_metal.go (implements inference.Backend with Available()),
mlx_test.go (uses inference.* types, 4 new tests), go.mod,
internal/metal/generate.go (added RepeatPenalty)
159 tests passing (148 internal/metal + 11 root).

Tests: MetalAvailable, DefaultBackend, GetBackend, LoadModel error
paths, options, defaults. Model-dependent test skips when model
not available on disk.

Move foundation CGO files from root package to internal/metal/ package.
Changes package declaration from `package mlx` to `package metal`.
Updates CGO SRCDIR paths to account for new location (two levels deeper).
Extracts go:generate directives into root generate.go.

Virgil review items integrated:
- context.Context on Generate/Chat (required for HTTP cancellation)
- Err() error on TextModel (distinguish EOS from OOM)
- Chat() on TextModel (model owns its chat template)
- Memory control functions exposed at root package level
- Functional options convention confirmed
- pkg/process confirmed — no changes needed for mlxlm

Approved design for restructuring go-mlx:
- Root package becomes clean interface (TextModel, LoadModel, Token)
- All CGO code moves to internal/metal/
- Deterministic memory management (Close + per-step cleanup)
- Error propagation instead of silent logging
- mlxlm/ backend placeholder for Python subprocess support
Includes API breaking change communication in FINDINGS.md and
memory management research tasks in cpp/TODO.md.

cpp/ now has its own CMakeLists.txt that independently fetches mlx-c
v0.4.1, allowing a CLion Claude to build and explore the C API surface
without conflicting with the Go-side CMake build. Updated CLAUDE.md to
reflect cpp/ as the project root with standalone build instructions.
Added priority tasks to cpp/TODO.md: mlx_contiguous search, eval
semantics verification, mlx_cumsum check for TopP sampling.

Split mlx/ directory from forge.lthn.ai/core/go-ai into its own module.
Rewrites import paths, adds CLAUDE.md/TODO.md/FINDINGS.md for dedicated
Claude sessions. Zero external Go deps — pure CGO + mlx-c v0.4.1.
