feat: velocity computation fixes + ProcessedItem metadata field

- Fixed VelocityComputer._clean_window to handle both dict (asset_windows) and float (source_windows) entries
- Added metadata field to ProcessedItem schema for engagement data
- Fixed VelocityComputer._clean_window to handle both dict and float entries
- All 46 core NLP tests pass
- Full pipeline integration test passes with real e5-large-v2 encoder
