Add a Conditional Random Field layer on top of the PII token classifier to learn transition constraints between BIO labels and enforce valid sequences during inference via Viterbi decoding. The CRF transition matrix is exported alongside the ONNX model for Go-side decoding. Closes #256

Summary
pytorch-crfdependency and CRF layer on top of PII token classifierdecode()method for optimal sequence prediction at inferenceMotivation
Independent per-token classification allows illegal BIO sequences (e.g.,
I-EMAILafterB-PHONENUMBER). With 24 entity types and synthetic training data, these edge cases leak PII. The CRF enforces valid sequences globally and typically improves entity-level F1 by 1-3 points on BERT-based NER.Test plan
