Loading RecursiveSI/flint-int4 on MLX failed with 'Model type flint not supported'. The official MLX INT4 export cannot load on MLX at all (embedding layout, see FU-115), and stacks older than mlx-vlm 0.7.10 lack the architecture. The worker now raises a specific message that points at the Flint GGUF. Three tests in tests/test_mlx_models.py.

…l type flint not supported'

Recursive's MLX INT4 export stores int8 embeddings in a layout only their own engine reads, and older MLX stacks lack the architecture. The worker now says so and points at the Flint GGUF.
