build: strip NVIDIA CUDA runtime libs from image (no local GPU)

camel-oasis (dep of camel-ai/sentence-transformers) pulls in torch on
linux-x86_64, which drags several GB of nvidia-cuda-* / cudnn / triton
packages into the production image even though this deployment never runs an
LLM locally — all LLM calls go through an API (OpenAI-compatible) and the
server has no GPU. The nvidia-* packages are pure bloat.

After 'uv sync', uninstall all nvidia-* runtime libs + triton (torch itself
stays as a CPU runtime). Then verify the stripped env still imports psycopg,
torch, sentence-transformers and the app, so the build fails loudly if the
strip breaks anything instead of failing silently at container runtime.

Verified locally (no CUDA libs present): psycopg/torch/sentence_transformers/
create_app all import fine.
