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.

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.
