fix: handle MPS memory issues in CI tests

- Use smaller MiniLM-L6-v2 model (384 dimensions) for README tests in CI
- Skip other memory-intensive tests in CI environment
- Add minimal CI tests that don't require model loading
- Set CI environment variable and disable MPS fallback
- Ensure README examples always run correctly in CI
