Add LSTM neural model, ERA5 data, FAISS+BM25 RAG, Neon DB, eval suite; de-jargon frontend

Closes the AI/ML sophistication gap with Weather AI 2:
- ERA5 real climate data via Google ARCO archive (free, no API key)
- PyTorch LSTM heat predictor ensembled with XGBoost (4-tier degradation)
- FAISS+BM25 hybrid RAG for alert generation (44-doc index)
- Neon PostgreSQL schema (11 heat-specific tables) with asyncpg + InMemory fallback
- 19-test eval suite (UHI accuracy, predictor AUROC, RAG precision, healing recall)
- Fix broken flood-era pipeline/store/schema imports
- De-jargonify all frontend text for donor/program officer audience

+LSTM neural heat wave predictor for parametric insurance triggers.
+
+2-layer LSTM that learns temporal patterns in 14-day climate sequences
+to predict heat wave trigger probability in the next 7 days.
+Ensembled with the existing XGBoost classifier in heat_forecast.py.
+
+Architecture:
+    Input:  (batch, 14, 6) -- 14 days x 6 climate features
+    LSTM:   2 layers, hidden_size=64, dropout=0.2
+    Output: scalar sigmoid probability
+
+Features per timestep:
+    0: temp_max_c       -- daily max temperature (normalized)
+    1: humidity_pct     -- relative humidity (normalized)
+    2: wind_speed_ms    -- wind speed (normalized)
+    3: wbgt_c           -- wet-bulb globe temperature (normalized)
+    4: heat_index_c     -- apparent temperature (normalized)
+    5: temp_anomaly     -- temp minus 7-day rolling mean (normalized)
