fix: differentiate Codex CLI models from Cursor CLI models

- Fix isCursorModel to exclude Codex-specific models (gpt-5.1-codex-*, gpt-5.2-codex-*)
- These models should route to Codex provider, not Cursor provider
- Add CODEX_YOLO_FLAG constant for --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox
- Always use YOLO flag in codex-provider for full permissions
- Simplify codex CLI args to minimal set with YOLO flag
- Update tests to reflect new behavior with YOLO flag

This fixes the bug where selecting a Codex model (e.g., gpt-5.1-codex-max)
was incorrectly spawning cursor-agent instead of codex exec.

The root cause was:
1. Cursor provider had higher priority (10) than Codex (5)
2. isCursorModel() returned true for Codex models in CURSOR_MODEL_MAP
3. Models like gpt-5.1-codex-max routed to Cursor instead of Codex

The fix:
1. isCursorModel now excludes Codex-specific model IDs
2. Codex always uses --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox flag
