Subject: [PATCH] chore(deps): drop unused MLX dependency
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

MLX was declared as a darwin-only dependency but no source code
imports it — runtime is NumPy (Python path) + Rust/Rayon
(CORE_BACKEND=rust). Per ADR-0020, third-backend work
(GPU / JAX / MLX) is explicitly deferred until both Python and
Rust paths are mature.

Smoke suite (27/27) confirms no path depends on MLX. Re-add if
and when a deferred Apple-Silicon GPU backend is opened.
