* 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.

Closes#815.
Three root causes fixed:
1. Provider aliases (z.ai/x.ai/google/grok/claude/aws-bedrock/dashscope/~25 more) not
normalized before _PROVIDER_MODELS lookup — provider fell to empty else-branch while
TUI worked (it normalizes at startup). Fixed via _resolve_provider_alias() + inlined
_PROVIDER_ALIASES table in api/config.py.
2. Silent ImportError in original normalization: 'from hermes_cli.models import
_PROVIDER_ALIASES' inside try/except silently failed without hermes-agent on sys.path
(CI, minimal installs). The inlined table fixes this — normalization now works
regardless of whether hermes-agent is installed.
3. /api/models/live?provider=custom now falls back to custom_providers entries from
config.yaml when provider_model_ids() returns empty.
Also: provider_id on every group in /api/models response for deterministic JS optgroup
matching (no substring false positives). 17 targeted tests, 1725/1725 full suite.
