fix(proxydial): bind the proxy exemption to the route the transport chose

Asking the Proxy function a question of our own invention answered for a request the transport never made. With NO_PROXY excluding a host, the real request to that host goes direct while a synthetic probe still comes back proxied, so a direct dial whose address happened to equal the configured proxy endpoint skipped the guard and reached whatever the name resolved to at connect time. A probe on the previous head dials rebind.example:80 with zero safety lookups; the guard now runs and refuses its private answer. Host-dependent proxy callbacks make the mismatch general, and no spelling of the probe host closes it, because the two calls are about different requests. The decision is now recorded where it is made. proxydial.Transport wraps the transport, asks its Proxy function about the actual request, and puts the answer in that request's context; the transport derives the dial context from the request context, so the dialer reads back the route this very connection is being opened for. Per-request, so concurrent requests cannot overwrite each other, and the context key is unexported so nothing outside the package can plant one. Address matching is gone with it. A transport opens one connection dial, and when a proxy is selected that dial goes to the proxy, so the recorded route already identifies the dial. Comparing the address on top could only disagree with the transport, which is what a Unicode proxy hostname did: Go dials xn--bro-hoa.example while the URL still spells it as configured, and the proxy was refused as an ordinary private address. Both spellings are now one endpoint with no comparison to get wrong. Documents where destination enforcement ends: with a proxy configured, the target hostname is sent to the proxy and the proxy resolves it, so the local pre-request checks no longer bind the address that is reached. A forward proxy already sees and can rewrite every request through it, so that trust comes with configuring one; the alternative is refusing to use proxies at all, which is the outage in #569.
fix(proxydial): have the dialer ask its transport for the proxy at dial time

-Zero publishes five native prebuilt artifacts from
-`.github/workflows/release-artifacts.yml`:
-
- `linux-x64` (`linux/amd64`)
- `linux-arm64` (`linux/arm64`)
- `macos-arm64` (`darwin/arm64`)
- `macos-x64` (`darwin/amd64`)
- `windows-x64` (`windows/amd64`)
-
-The shell installer and npm wrapper resolve the applicable artifacts from that
-list. The PowerShell installer supports the published `windows-x64` artifact;
-there is no native Windows ARM64 artifact. Windows on ARM users can run the x64
-build under emulation or build from source.
-
-Android/Termux is also supported even though it has no distinct release
-artifact. The npm wrapper maps Android to the Linux artifact, and
-`docs/INSTALL.md` documents the native `android/arm64` source build needed on
-devices whose seccomp policy blocks the Linux build's syscall path.
-
-Other `GOOS`/`GOARCH` values, including Plan 9, are unsupported. They are not a
-review criterion. Do not block a pull request for failing to compile on an
-unsupported target. Tests may use `plan9` as a fixture for an unsupported OS.

+- **使用你想要的模型。** 支持 OpenAI、Anthropic、Gemini、Groq、OpenRouter、DeepSeek、Mistral、xAI、Qwen、Kimi、GitHub Models、Ollama、LM Studio，或任何 OpenAI/Anthropic 兼容端点。
 - **保持控制权。** 文件写入、Shell 命令、网络访问和工作区外写入都经过 Zero 的权限和沙箱策略。
 - **在终端中工作。** TUI 具有模型/提供商选择器、图片输入、斜杠命令、实时计划/工具渲染、回滚滚动、主题以及恢复/分叉支持。
 - **无 TUI 也能工作。** `zero exec` 可脚本化，支持文本/JSON/stream-JSON I/O、隔离的工作树、规范优先运行，以及用于 CI 的有意义的退出码。

 npm 包是一个小型包装器，其平台构建（Linux 和 macOS 的 x64/arm64、Windows 的 x64，包含浏览器/终端控制辅助工具）作为可选依赖直接从 npm registry 安装——没有安装脚本，也不会从 npm 之外下载任何内容。Bun、pnpm 和 yarn 的行为完全一致，无需任何信任或批准步骤。跳过可选依赖的安装（`--omit=optional`）也能工作：只要二进制文件缺失，包装器就会从对应的 GitHub Release 下载。Windows on ARM 通过模拟运行 x64 构建。详见 [docs/NPM_PACKAGING.md](docs/NPM_PACKAGING.md)。

-之前通过 `@gitlawb/zero` 安装过 Zero？从 0.10.0 起，npm 包已迁移到 `@twigpine/zero`，旧包名不再发布新版本。两个包都提供 `zero` 命令，所以请先退出正在运行的 `zero`，再卸载旧包：
-
-```bash
-npm uninstall -g @gitlawb/zero
-npm install -g @twigpine/zero

-
-配置、会话和登录信息都会保留，它们存放在包之外。Bun、pnpm 和 yarn 的命令见 [docs/INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md#moving-from-gitlawbzero)。

- Updating from 0.9.0 installs that bridge build, so npm also shows the
