fix(ci): add Python setup to beta-release and fix PR status gate checks (#565)

* fix(onboarding): default to recommended embedding model in wizard

The Memory step was defaulting to 'embeddinggemma' even though
'qwen3-embedding:4b' is marked as "Recommended" in the UI. This caused
confusion when users re-opened the wizard and saw a different model
selected than the one labeled recommended.

* fix(onboarding): default to recommended embedding model in wizard

Change default Ollama embedding model from 'embeddinggemma' to
'qwen3-embedding:4b' to match the "Recommended" badge in the UI.
