fix(embed): extend #1717 model labeling to the embed-backfill stale path

src/core/embed-stale.ts (used by the embed-backfill minion handler) built
its merged ChunkInput without a model field, so every chunk on a touched
page — re-embedded AND preserved — was relabeled to the engine default on
each backfill pass. Mirror the embed.ts semantics: stamp the resolved
gateway label on re-embedded chunks, carry the existing label on untouched
ones. Pinned by a PGLite test that fails without the fix.
