fix(rag): Resolve RAG test failures and race conditions

- Fixed circular import in chromadb by using lazy imports in 
ag_engine.py.
- Moved RAG engine initialization to background threads in AppController to avoid blocking UI.
- Added _rag_engine_lock to prevent race conditions during engine re-initialization.
- Updated Gemini embedding model to gemini-embedding-001 (available) from 	ext-embedding-004 (not found).
- Fixed _rebuild_rag_index to use fresh 
ag_engine instance from self in every iteration.
- Optimized 	est_rag_phase4_final_verify.py and 	est_rag_phase4_stress.py to wait for RAG sync before continuing.
- Added dummy embedding fallback in LocalEmbeddingProvider if sentence-transformers fails to load.
