A Pi extension that adds NVIDIA Build API models as a first-class provider with native `/login` support and `/model` selection.

## What this extension does

- Registers provider: `nvidia-build`
- Adds login option in Pi: **NVIDIA Build API**
- Stores API key in Pi auth storage after one-time paste
- Enables model selection through `/model`
- Supports model auto-discovery via NVIDIA `/v1/models`
