feat(gmsh): GMSH Frontal-Delaunay tessellation for clean cylinder seams

- Per-solid iteration prevents OOM on multi-part assemblies (25-part bearing:
  2.3GB RAM when processing compound → ~100MB per solid with per-solid approach)
- Fix CharacteristicLengthMax multiplier 5× → 15× and cap MinimumCirclePoints
  at 20 (prevents 63-pts/circle on angular_deflection=0.1rad → 231MB → 21MB)
- Geometry task timeout 120s → 600s for large assemblies
- Production task: reuse _geometry.glb when GMSH enabled (no re-tessellation)
  and cache _production_geom.glb for OCC (mtime vs STEP check)
- Viewer now prefers production GLB when available (shows correct GMSH mesh)
- GMSH OpenMP multithreading (min(cpu_count,16)) for 4.4× speedup
