Keep the env default out of the explicit-provider path.

FRONTAL_CODE_DEFAULT_PROVIDER enters resolve_effective_model_and_provider as Some(provider). The resolver accepts that value before it checks code_api::model_requires_responses. With FRONTAL_CODE_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=anthropic, a Codex model selected through --model or FRONTAL_CODE_MODEL is sent to anthropic in both --prompt and REPL sessions. Before this change, the same model went to openai. The resolver's own comment says Codex models are OpenAI-only.

Apply the Codex check before any env-sourced default. Keep an explicit --provider value as the only value that the resolver treats as explicit. Pass the env default separately, and let the resolver apply it only after the Codex check. Pass the env default separately from the explicit flag, and keep the existing precedence against the configuration default. Both LiveCli constructors at lines 6229 and 6261 must receive the change. Do not replace line 781 with None. That would remove the FRONTAL_CODE_DEFAULT_PROVIDER feature this PR adds.

Review comment at @cli/src/main.rs at line 781:
Update the provider resolution flow so only the explicit --provider value is treated as explicit, while FRONTAL_CODE_DEFAULT_PROVIDER is passed separately. In resolve_effective_model_and_provider, apply the Codex/OpenAI-only check before the environment default, then preserve the existing precedence between that default and the configuration default for other models. Update both LiveCli constructors to pass the separate environment default.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
