Fix multi-GPU OOM errors by disabling Phase 2 graph correction

Problem: The Phase 2 CC 3.7 graph correction (85% reduction) was being
applied unconditionally to all models, causing multi-GPU models like
gemma3:27b and gpt-oss:20b to fail with "cudaMalloc failed: out of memory"
errors on secondary GPUs.

Root Cause: The 85% correction made the allocator think large models
could fit on a single GPU, but then failed when trying to allocate even
small amounts (16 MiB) on GPU 1 because the memory estimate was too low.

Solution: Disabled Phase 2 correction factor in llm/memory.go:173-182.
Phase 1 optimization (per-GPU graph allocation with 190 MiB for secondary
GPUs) is sufficient and correctly handles both single-GPU and multi-GPU
scenarios without causing OOM errors.

Impact:
- gemma3:4b: Still runs on single GPU 
- gemma3:12b: May split across GPUs (acceptable trade-off) 
- gemma3:27b: Now works with multi-GPU split 
- gpt-oss:20b: Now works with multi-GPU split 

Files Modified:
- llm/memory.go: Commented out Phase 2 correction factor
- CLAUDE.md: Updated Phase 2 section with new status and lessons learned
