feat(invisible): add Qwen-Image img2img pipeline (--pipeline qwen)

A third diffusion pipeline alongside sdxl/controlnet: Qwen-Image (20B MMDiT,
Apache-2.0 code AND weights) img2img. The scrub still comes from the img2img
strength; Qwen preserves text (incl. CJK) and structure markedly better than
SDXL at the scrub floor, so it over-regenerates real photos far less (directly
targets the controlnet over-regeneration that degrades real uploads).

- watermark_profiles: QWEN_MODEL_ID, normalize_profile accepts "qwen".
- WatermarkRemover: _load_qwen_pipeline (bf16, loads Qwen base unless --model
  overridden, clear ImportError if diffusers lacks the class), _run_qwen (no
  MPS fallback -- 20B is CUDA/cloud-class), dispatch in _generate_one/preload,
  pure _build_qwen_kwargs (true_cfg_scale, not guidance_scale).
- Shared _base_load_kwargs() across all three loaders (dtype + token).
- CLI --pipeline gains "qwen"; invisible_engine threads it through.
- scripts/qwen_scrub_prototype.py: standalone PEP 723 GPU experiment.

Prototype oracle floors (Modal A100-80GB, single seed, controls SynthID-positive,
PENDING seed-repeat cert): OpenAI clears at strength ~0.10, Gemini at ~0.30 (0.20
still detected), with CJK text + faces faithful where controlnet plasticizes. The
Gemini floor is higher than the shared default ladder, so pass an explicit
--strength for Gemini on this pipeline until a Qwen-specific ladder is certified.

The model-running path is CUDA-only (untestable locally); unit tests cover the
pure call-shape (_build_qwen_kwargs) and profile normalization without torch.

`controlnet_conditioning_scale` (CLI `--controlnet-scale`, default 1.0) is the structure-preservation knob (higher = closer to the original structure); fp32 on cpu/mps, fp16-fixed VAE on cuda/xpu. The `controlnet` profile is threaded explicitly (`WatermarkRemover(pipeline=...)` / `InvisibleEngine(pipeline=...)`), NOT inferred from `model_id`. This productionizes the `scripts/controlnet_sweep.py` prototype; see `docs/controlnet-removal-pipeline-research.md`.
**Forensic-stealth caveat still applies** (arXiv:2605.09203): defeating the SynthID verifier is not forensic invisibility -- a "this image went through a removal pipeline" classifier can still flag the output.
## `qwen` pipeline (experimental, Qwen-Image 20B, uncertified floors)
`--pipeline qwen` runs `QwenImageImg2ImgPipeline` on `Qwen/Qwen-Image` (20B MMDiT, Apache-2.0 code AND weights), as an img2img alternative to the SDXL pipelines. Motivation: the controlnet over-regeneration problem above (it plasticizes real photos / loses fine text at the scrub floor). Qwen-Image renders text natively (incl. CJK) and preserves structure markedly better, so at the strength that removes SynthID it damages real content far less.
The scrub still comes from the img2img `strength` (same lever as SDXL); the call shape lives in the pure `_build_qwen_kwargs` (uses Qwen's `true_cfg_scale`, not SDXL's `guidance_scale` — the CLI `--guidance-scale` maps onto it, and ~4.0 is typical vs the SDXL default 7.5). bf16 on CUDA. It is **CUDA/cloud-class — the 20B does not fit MPS — so `_run_qwen` has NO MPS→CPU fallback** (unlike the SDXL paths). Cost on Modal A100-80GB is ~$0.05-0.10/image vs SDXL.
**Prototype oracle floors (Modal A100-80GB, single seed, 2026-06-19 — PENDING seed-repeat cert):** on native-resolution OpenAI and Gemini cert inputs (both controls SynthID-POSITIVE), OpenAI cleared at strength **0.10** and Gemini at **0.30** (0.20 still detected). At those floors CJK text and faces stayed faithful (the zoom comparison showed controlnet-style plastication absent). Two caveats before relying on it: (1) near-floor scrub is SEED-NON-DETERMINISTIC (the general known-limitation above), so these single-seed floors are NOT certified — run a seed-repeat sweep before trusting them; (2) `resolve_strength` is shared and pipeline-independent, so the Gemini default (0.15, the certified controlnet floor) UNDER-scrubs Gemini on `qwen` (whose floor is ~0.30) — **pass an explicit `--strength` for Gemini content on `qwen`** until a Qwen-specific ladder is certified. Flat-graphic content was not in the prototype sample.
