Make YOLO preflight runnable in backend container

 ## Sprint 25 YOLO compatibility smoke hardening (2026-06-17)
 
 - Added an explicit `--check-model-load` mode to `scripts/yolo_preflight.py`.
+- Added the same YOLO preflight entrypoint under `backend/scripts/` so it can run inside the backend Docker container.
 - The smoke loads only a configured local model file through the YOLO adapter, runs no inference and does not download weights.
 - The CLI rejects `--check-model-load` together with `--assume-dependencies` to avoid false-positive AI readiness.
 - Added tests for successful mocked model-load smoke, load failure reporting and CLI guard behavior.

 ## Sprint 25 YOLO compatibility smoke hardening (2026-06-17)
 
 Changed:
-- Added explicit `--check-model-load` support to `scripts/yolo_preflight.py` and `YoloPreflightService`.
+- Added explicit `--check-model-load` support to `scripts/yolo_preflight.py`, `backend/scripts/yolo_preflight.py` and `YoloPreflightService`.
 - The model-load smoke requires real optional AI dependencies, loads only an existing local model file, runs no inference and does not download weights.
 - The CLI rejects `--check-model-load` with `--assume-dependencies` to avoid false-positive AI readiness.
 - Added regression tests for mocked successful load, load failure reporting and CLI guard behavior.
-- Added Python compile validation for `scripts/yolo_preflight.py` to the readiness gate.
-- Updated AI pipeline, scripts, backend, TODO and changelog docs.
+- Added Python compile validation for both YOLO preflight entrypoints to the readiness gate.
+- Updated AI pipeline, scripts, backend, TODO and changelog docs, including Docker runtime usage.
 
 Validation:
 - `python -m py_compile scripts/yolo_preflight.py` passed.
