refactor(arch): eliminate all cross-module model imports in service layer

Enforce MOD-025/MOD-026 rules: zero top-level cross-module model imports
remain in any service file. All 66 files migrated using deferred import
patterns (method-body, _get_model() helpers, instance-cached self._Model)
and new cross-module service methods in tenancy. Documentation updated
with Pattern 6 (deferred imports), migration plan marked complete, and
violations status reflects 84→0 service-layer violations.

+**Migration Patterns Used:**
 
-**Resolution:** Migrate all cross-module model imports to service calls. See [Cross-Module Migration Plan](cross-module-migration-plan.md).
+| Pattern | When Used | Files |
+|---------|-----------|-------|
+| Service calls | Cross-module data needed via existing service | Most files |
+| Method-body deferred import | Model used in 1-2 methods | product_service, product_media_service, audit_provider |
+| `_get_model()` helper | Same model used in 3+ methods | log_service, admin_audit_service, admin_settings_service, admin_notification_service |
+| Instance-cached `self._Model` | Model used in nearly every method | letzshop/order_service |
+| `TYPE_CHECKING` + `from __future__` | Type hints without runtime dependency | background_tasks_service, order_inventory_service |

+- 18 fixed (JavaScript logging)
