/**
 * Last good startup facts, so the next start can connect at once:
 * ~/.melaya-runner/startup-cache.json holds the last published model list and
 * the Python interpreter that worked. The runner connects with these, then
 * publishes fresh discovery through `runner:models` when it lands.
 *
 * Model names only (no credentials, no tokens). A missing or malformed file
 * reads as empty; writes are best-effort and atomic (temp file + rename).
