fix: improve extraction success rate with Qwen3 models

- Increase max_tokens from 1024 to max(2048, window//2) for larger windows
- Reduce window size from ~2600 to ~1800 tokens (n_ctx - 2300)
- Lower Qwen3 temperature to 0.1 for extraction (vs 0.3 for synthesis)
- Add empty JSON retry logic when model returns {}
- Update docs: remove LFM2-Extract models, set Qwen3 1.7B as default

Root cause: Qwen3 returns empty JSON for windows > 2400 tokens.
Fixes: larger token limit, smaller windows, greedy temp, retry on empty.
