🤖 Fix 8s startup delay by removing eager tokenizer loading
The tokenizer was being eagerly loaded (void loadTokenizerModules()) when getTokenizerForModel() was called, even though it wasn't needed yet. This caused the browser to start downloading 8MB+ of tokenizer files (o200k_base, claude encodings), blocking the window's ready-to-show event. The lazy loading logic was already in place - countTokens() loads the tokenizer on first use and returns approximations until ready. The eager load was meant to "warm up" the tokenizer but had the opposite effect. Changes: - Remove eager void loadTokenizerModules() call from getTokenizerForModel() - Tokenizer now loads only when first token count is actually performed - Renderer bundle no longer includes 8MB of tokenizer encodings Results: - Window shows in ~300ms (was 8.6s) - 8.3 second startup improvement (96% reduction) - First token count uses approximation (~90% accurate) - Subsequent counts use accurate tokenizer once loaded - Tokenizer files removed from renderer bundle (8.7MB savings) This is the real root cause of slow startup, not mermaid. The mermaid lazy loading helps too, but this is the primary bottleneck. _Generated with `cmux`_
