Vasanth T aadb4a27e9 fix(specialist): keep the pinned model when a specialist is resumed (#1009)
* fix(specialist): keep the pinned model when a specialist is resumed

Metadata.Model exists so a bounded, delegated task can run on a cheaper model
than its parent, and BuildArgs appends it to the child argv through
appendModelArgs. BuildResumeArgs never did.

So a specialist pinned to a cheap model ran on that model exactly once. The
moment the orchestrator resumed it, the child fell back to whatever the
parent's configured model resolved to. Nothing surfaced it: the resumed child
starts normally and does the work, so the only symptom is the bill.
Cost-motivated delegation quietly stopped saving anything.

Resuming does not restore the recorded model on its own. sessions.PrepareExec
records the model a run used but never feeds it back into provider
construction, so the flag has to be passed again rather than relied upon.

BuildResumeArgsInput now carries ParentModel and ParentReasoningEffort, the
same fallbacks the fresh path takes, and runResume passes what TaskRunOptions
already held. The reasoning-effort rule travels with the model unchanged: the
parent's effort is inherited only when the manifest pins no model of its own,
because a manifest that chose a different model has not agreed to the parent's
effort for it.

Regressions drive both builders and compare them, so the two paths cannot
drift again: a pinned model survives resume, an unpinned one still inherits the
parent's, both halves of the effort rule hold, and the flag keeps its position
relative to --auto in both.

* test(specialist): cover the resume call site, not just its builder

The builder tests all call BuildResumeArgs directly, so dropping the
ParentModel field from the runResume call site still compiled and still passed
every one of them. The defect this fixes lived at the call site, so it needs a
test that goes through Run.

Driven through the real dispatch with the RunChild seam capturing argv.

* test(specialist): guard the fresh call site as well

runFresh and runResume each construct their builder input by hand and carry a
byte-identical ParentModel line. Deleting either compiles and, until now,
deleting the fresh one was silent.

The resume half is what this branch repairs. This covers the other half so the
pair cannot drift again in the direction nobody was looking.
