tegwick 880c1d1374 feat(llm): add Gemini adapter and process book-1-chapter-05
Add GeminiAdapter calling Google's Generative Language REST API
(default model: gemini-2.5-flash). Register "gemini" as third

exponential backoff to the pipeline's _call_llm helper. Increase
default max_tokens from 2000 to 4096.

Process book-1-chapter-05 via Gemini free tier — 1 new entity
extracted (necessaries-conveniencies-and-amusements-of-life),
41 existing entities correctly skipped by dedup. Canonical set
now at 42 unique entities.
