perf(cli,core): lazy load Crypto and rich.markdown modules to boost startup latency and bump to v6.1.1

- Implement lazy `@property` getters for `configfile.privatekey` and `configfile.publickey` to defer RSA key loading and pycryptodome imports until explicitly accessed.
- Move top-level `Crypto` imports inside local methods in `configfile.py`, `core.py`, and `config_service.py`.
- Remove top-level `from rich.markdown import Markdown` across CLI handlers (`node_handler.py`, `ai_handler.py`, `terminal_ui.py`) and `ai.py`, deferring parser load to active rendering calls.
- Reduce CLI startup load latency from ~172 ms to ~49 ms (>3.5x speedup / ~71% latency reduction).
- Regenerate HTML documentation in `docs/` via `pdoc`.
- Bump version to v6.1.1.
