Subject: [PATCH] fix: use venv for sidecar deps, add missing deploy steps

- llm-sidecar.service: use /home/bigt/AI/llm/venv/bin/uvicorn instead of
  global python3 -m uvicorn (avoids 'No module named uvicorn' error)
- deploy/README.md: add steps to copy sidecar/ package, create venv,
  and pip install requirements.txt
