refactor: improve config consistency and token limits

- Remove legacy childKey field from settingsSchema

- Add contextWindowSize and maxOutputTokens to documentation

- Refactor ContextUsageDisplay to accept contextWindowSize directly instead of Config object

- Add useMemo optimization for contextWindowSize in Footer component

- Fix logic gaps in contentGenerator for contextWindowSize and maxOutputTokens initialization

- Increase DEFAULT_OUTPUT_TOKEN_LIMIT from 4K to 8K for better usability

- Add fallback to default values when model is not available
