// Ask the browser to KEEP our cached models instead of treating them as
// evictable. Every engine parks 0.5–2 GB on this origin (wllama→OPFS,
// Transformers.js/WebLLM→Cache API); running several blows past the best-effort
// quota and the browser evicts them → silent re-downloads. persist() flips that
// to durable storage. Call once before the first model download.
