feat(qwen36-vl): swap FP8→NVFP4 + GPU1 rebalance (granite restored)

The nvidia ModelOpt NVFP4 MoE that failed on vLLM 0.19.1/0.22.0 (#44081)
loads clean on 0.23.0. Cut prod qwen36 FP8→NVFP4: ~20.4 GiB weights vs
~34 (~40% lighter, ~13 GB reclaimed on GPU 1), faster single-stream on
Blackwell FP4 cores, vision tower preserved (comfy-dev real anatomy-judge
A/B on 16 prod images: PASS; brokkr text/speed: parity bar a minor
multi-step-chained-reasoning slip that doesn't bite the judge role).

- compose: pin image by 0.23.0 digest, drop --kv-cache-dtype fp8 (fp16 KV
  — the freed room buys full-precision KV), util 0.46→0.32.
- GPU1 rebalance (pinned): granite restored 0.24→0.34 / 65536→131072
  (undoes the FP8-era sacrifice); trio unchanged; total ~0.82, ~24 GB free.
- gateway model name qwen3.6-35b-a3b unchanged (now NVFP4 behind it);
  thinking-split (enable_thinking=false default) intact — the judge needs it.

# comfy-dev vision A/B that cleared it + the GPU-1 rebalance.

# WHY official FP8 (not NVFP4): NVFP4 (nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4, ~21 GB) is the
# lighter fit but its vLLM ModelOpt-MoE loader is BROKEN as of 0.19.1/0.22.0

# Qwen pre-quantized FP8 (~34 GB weights) loads clean on :latest and — unlike
# the old qwen35-vl — needs NO pinned nightly digest: that hack existed because
# vLLM DYNAMIC `--quantization fp8` quantized the vision tower to noise. This
# checkpoint is PRE-quantized, so we OMIT --quantization (vLLM auto-detects the
# checkpoint's own fp8) and the vision tower is preserved. Validated 2026-06-14
# on GPU 0: loads in 34.2 GiB, image test returns correct ("Blue"). Revisit
# NVFP4 (frees ~13 GB) once vLLM's loader is fixed.
# WHY NVFP4 now (swapped FROM FP8 2026-06-15): the nvidia ModelOpt NVFP4 MoE that
# was BROKEN on vLLM 0.19.1/0.22.0 (#44081, lm_head.input_scale) loads clean on
# 0.23.0 — the ModelOpt lm_head fix landed. So we cut FP8→NVFP4: ~20.4 GiB weights
# vs FP8's ~34 GiB (~40% lighter, ~13 GB reclaimed on GPU 1), faster single-stream
# on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores, and the freed room funds fp16 KV + a granite
# context restore (see the rebalance note below). The NVFP4 checkpoint preserves
# the vision tower (ModelOpt leaves it high-precision) — VALIDATED by comfy-dev's
# real anatomy-judge A/B on 16 prod images: PASS, holds the load-bearing
# discrimination (gross-deformity reject + clean-pass), only shuffles already-
# unreliable sub-ceiling borderline-hand calls. brokkr's text/speed arm: parity
