fix(settings): show live models in default model picker and apply to new chats (#872) (#900)

* fix(settings): show live models in default model picker and apply to new chats (#872)

Two related bugs:
1. Settings > Preferences > Default Model dropdown only showed static models
   from /api/models — live-fetched models (e.g. @nous:anthropic/claude-opus-4.7)
   were missing. Now calls _fetchLiveModels() on the settings picker too.
2. New chats ignored the saved default model preference — they always used the
   chat-header dropdown value (which reflects the previous session's model).
   Now newSession() uses the saved default_model and syncs the dropdown.

Extracted _addLiveModelsToSelect() from _fetchLiveModels() so cached live models
can be applied to any <select> element (chat-header or settings picker).

* fix(tests): update live-model prefix tests for _addLiveModelsToSelect extraction

The tests searched for og.dataset.provider, _isPortalFetch, and openrouter
exclusion patterns inside _fetchLiveModels(). These were extracted into
_addLiveModelsToSelect() as part of the #872 fix. Updated regex targets to
check _addLiveModelsToSelect first, falling back to _fetchLiveModels.

* chore: add multi-tab note on window._defaultModel

Clarifies that window._defaultModel is per-page-load and not synced
across browser tabs, following maintainer feedback on #889.
