Add ECMWF IFS 10 m wind alongside NOAA GFS, selectable at runtime.
The /api/wind proxy becomes a model dispatcher: `?model=gfs|ifs` (default gfs,
unknown → 400), cached per model+cycle+grid. IFS reads the keyless ECMWF Open
Data JSON Lines `.index` (note: `<stem>.index`, not `<grib2>.index`), byte-range
fetches only the `10u`/`10v` messages, decodes them with the same ecCodes WASM
path, and resamples with the existing grid code (ECMWF grids start at lo1=180;
the resampler already wraps columns).
The client layer gains a `model` parameter (setParams/getParams) with a
generation guard so a model switch aborts and refetches exactly once. Registered
as an enabled+options layer with a `model` enum.
Validated end-to-end against the real 2026-09-14 06z IFS cycle on Node 25
(180x91 grid at 2°, 131,040-byte payload, plausible mean |u|/|v|), and GFS
still passes the same check.

Add a Wind layer animating the global 10 m wind field from NOAA GFS.
The /api/wind proxy selects the latest available 0.25° cycle, reads its .idx
inventory, byte-range fetches only the UGRD/VGRD 10 m GRIB2 messages (~1 MB
each instead of the whole ~500 MB file), decodes them with ecCodes (WASM),
resamples to a compact grid (1° default), and serves a manifest plus a Float32
U/V payload cached per cycle for an hour (single-flight, last-good on failure).
The client renders nullschool-style particles in a canvas overlay: bilinear
field sampling with longitude wrap, per-frame advection, Cesium camera
projection, and globe-occlusion culling via EllipsoidalOccluder.
Validated end-to-end against the real 2026-09-14 06z cycle on Node 25
(180x91 grid at 2°, 131,040-byte payload, plausible mean |u|/|v|). The WASM
decoder requires Node >=24, which the repo already requires.
