docs(research): fact-check web-research and chezmoi docs against sources

- open-models.md: Qwen2.5-VL 'best open vision model' superseded by
  Qwen3-VL (Apache 2.0 dense sizes; repo QwenLM/Qwen3-VL, arXiv
  2511.21631, verified via web search); decision table + mermaid +
  citations updated
- chezmoi-evaluation.md: fleet facts were fabricated — servers run
  Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (probed via ssh, both boxes), not 'Arch/FreeToken'
  (distro does not exist); dev workstation is AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U,
  not Intel Ultra 7; frank-default-* endpoints retired 2026-10-18
- agentic-web-research/index.md: pi-era topology blurb replaced with
  current fleet endpoints
- self-hosted-web-agents.md: sample model frank-default-small ->
  frank-archon (endpoint/IP already correct: dankserver)
- mcp.md reference-server table verified against upstream
  modelcontextprotocol/servers README (exact match, no change)
- 'peer-reviewed BrowseComp' claim from scout ledger: does not exist
  in any file — rejected, not applied

## Best Vision Model: Qwen2.5-VL-7B
## Best Vision Model: Qwen3-VL (Apache 2.0)
Many web tasks need a model that can read a page image, not just text. Qwen2.5-VL-7B is the best open vision model for this. It reads text, charts, icons, and layout in screenshots. It supports computer-use and phone-use agents. Apache 2.0 license. The 7B model fits on a single GPU with 8 GB or more.
Many web tasks need a model that can read a page image, not just text.
**Qwen3-VL** supersedes Qwen2.5-VL as the strongest open-weights vision family
(4B/8B dense through 30B-A3B/235B-A22B MoE): text, chart, icon, and layout
reading in screenshots, plus computer-use agent support. Small dense sizes
ship Apache 2.0; a quantized 4B/8B runs on a single consumer GPU. On this
fleet, vision duty is carried by the mmproj vision towers on the endpoints
(dragoon, zealot) — see [System hosts](/system/index.md).
