fix: remove redundant __init__ from CodeArchive model

 - [ ] **`providers/local_models.py:103-119`** — `_query_installed_models` is `lru_cache`d indefinitely with no TTL; a newly pulled/removed Ollama model isn't picked up until something explicitly calls `clear_model_cache()`
 - [ ] **`model_fine_tuner.py:122-137`** — `_check_gpu_availability()` is defined but never called; despite the module docstring claiming "Requires a CUDA GPU," `initialize_model()` silently proceeds on CPU instead of failing fast
 - [ ] **`model_fine_tuner.py:220,240`** — `example['instruction']`/`example['output']` direct dict access with no `.get()`; a malformed training example raises `KeyError` surfaced only as a generic error string instead of a clear validation message
-- [ ] **`models/code_archive.py:127-149`** — `__init__` manually re-implements every default already provided by `Field(default_factory=...)`, a drift hazard (two sources of truth for the same defaults)
