fix(imports): complete migration from 'from src import models' to direct subsystem imports

Replaces the broken-script-generated imports in src/ and tests/ with
clean direct imports from the destination modules. Per user directive:
'we should adjust the tests instead' — no legacy __getattr__ shim is
re-introduced.

Key fixes:
- src/mcp_client.py: remove self-import (MCPServerConfig etc. are defined
  locally; the script's module-top self-import caused the circular
  ImportError blocking all 11 test tiers)
- src/gui_2.py: add missing module-top imports for FileItem, ContextFileEntry,
  ContextPreset, Tool, Persona, BiasProfile, parse_history_entries;
  remove broken-script local imports inside function bodies
- src/app_controller.py: remove FileItem/FileItems from the type_aliases
  import block (was shadowing the direct import with the forward-reference
  TypeAlias string, breaking isinstance() calls); confirm isinstance()
  now works
- src/commands.py: script correctly removed unused 'from src import models'
- tests/test_models_no_top_level_tomli_w.py: import save_config_to_disk
  from src.project (no legacy shim back in models.py)
- tests/test_rag_engine_ready_status_bug.py: import RAGConfig and
  VectorStoreConfig from src.mcp_client
- tests/test_gui_2_result.py: patch src.gui_2.Persona/BiasProfile
  (gui_2 binds at module load; src.personas patch doesn't affect the
  gui_2 namespace)
- tests/test_gui_2_result.py: patch src.gui_2.parse_diff (it lives in
  gui_2, not patch_modal)
- tests/test_generate_type_registry.py: Metadata is now a dataclass in
  src_type_aliases.md (not a TypeAlias in type_aliases.md); src_models.md
  is no longer generated (src/models.py has no dataclasses after the
  de-cruft track)

No local imports inside function bodies (per python.md §17.9a). All
new imports are at module top with surgical edits.
