- Rename tokenizer.js to token_estimator.js to reflect its purpose
- Update import in translation.js
- Add development journal documenting NVIDIA 4090 performance metrics

Token Estimator Implementation
-------------------------------
Built `token_estimator.js` - a simplified BPE-based token counter for translation ETA estimation.
**Not compatible with tiktoken** - this is estimation-only, ~85% accuracy. Good enough for progress bars, not for exact tokenization.
**NVIDIA 4090 Performance Metrics:**
- Prompt processing: 3,144 tokens/sec
- Generation: 121 tokens/sec
- Translation estimates: 1K tokens ≈ 11 seconds
The estimator uses real production metrics from our Hermes machine to provide realistic translation timing.
