Omair Saleh ea37d7d090 Switch AI from OpenAI to Gemini 2.0 Flash (free, key exists)
All AI features now use Gemini 2.0 Flash via the existing API key.
Falls back to OpenAI if OPENAI_API_KEY is set instead.
Falls back to heuristics if neither key exists.

Gemini free tier: 15 RPM, 1M tokens/day, 1500 RPD
At PNPL's scale this is effectively unlimited and costs £0.

Changed:
- src/lib/ai.ts: chat() → tries Gemini first, OpenAI fallback
- src/app/api/automations/ai/route.ts: same dual-provider pattern
- docker-compose.yml: GEMINI_API_KEY added to app environment

All 11 AI features now work:
- Smart amount suggestions, message generation, fuzzy matching
- Column mapping, event parsing, impact stories, daily digest
- Nudge composer, donor classification, anomaly detection
- A/B variant generation, rewrites, auto-winner evaluation
