[grade=A] AI Intent Router — natural language → structured actions
CI / Test & Lint (push) Canceled after 0s
CI / Security audit (push) Canceled after 0s

POST /api/v1/ai/intent takes natural language and returns structured intent:
- 'Deploy Plex' → { intent: deploy, appId: plex, deployPlan }
- 'I want to stream movies' → { intent: recommend, categories: [media-streaming] }
- 'Why is Plex down?' → { intent: diagnose, serviceId: plex }
- 'Back up everything' → { intent: backup }
- 'Is everything OK?' → { intent: health }

GET /api/v1/ai/capabilities returns self-describing capabilities for agent discovery.

Pattern-based matching works offline (no LLM call needed). LLM_PROXY_URL env
var can be set for complex query delegation.

18 intent tests covering deploy, recommend, diagnose, backup, health, list,
and unknown intents. 1770 total tests pass.

/**
* DashCaddy AI Intent Router
*
* Takes natural language input and returns structured, actionable intents
* that can be executed against the DashCaddy API.
*
* POST /api/v1/ai/intent
* Body: { message: "I want to stream movies", context: {} }
* Returns: { intent, confidence, actions, followup }
*
* The intent router uses pattern matching (not an LLM call) so it works
* instantly and offline. For complex queries, it can delegate to an
* external LLM via the LLM_PROXY_URL env var.
