ci: run oxfmt single-threaded to stop nondeterministic format failures

oxfmt 0.60.0's parallel checker is nondeterministic on the 2-core CI runners:
`oxfmt --check src` intermittently flags a correctly-formatted file (observed on
src/__tests__/render.test.ts — `oxfmt --write` produces no change, and the check
passes on higher core counts and re-runs), which is a data race in its worker
pool, not a real format issue. `--threads=1` serializes the run (61 files in
~90ms, so no meaningful cost) and makes the check deterministic.

     One caveat: OpenCode can't price alias models (they're config-declared), so

     correct, and the OpenAI project dashboard is the source of truth for spend.
-- **Anthropic / Claude (API key)** — set `auth.provider` to `"anthropic"`, point

-  and use `anthropic/...` model ids; the key is sent as `x-api-key`. Note that
-  Claude Pro/Max **subscription** tokens cannot be used here: Anthropic prohibits
-  them in third-party tools, and OpenCode has no Anthropic OAuth support — only an
-  API key works.
+- **Anthropic / Claude** — use `anthropic/...` model ids and every anthropic pass
+  runs through the **Claude Code CLI** (`claude -p --output-format json`), inferred
+  from the model. The credential is (in order) a `tokenEnv` you name, an ambient
+  `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, or your local `claude` login — an `auth` entry is
+  entirely optional. Run `claude setup-token` for a Max/Team subscription token
+  (forwarded as `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`) or point `tokenEnv` at an Anthropic
+  Console API key (`sk-ant-api…`, forwarded as `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`); the CLI reads
+  either. `ecr setup-auth` walks you through it. Each pass is trust-isolated and
+  read-only: it runs with `--safe-mode` (no `CLAUDE.md`/hooks/MCP/plugins),
+  `--strict-mcp-config`, `--permission-mode dontAsk`, and only the
+  `Read`/`Grep`/`Glob` tools — never `Bash`/`Edit`/`Write`/`WebFetch`/`WebSearch`.
+  The child env is an allowlist that omits ambient `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`/`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`
+  (only the configured credential is re-injected).
+  ```jsonc
+  // Optional — no anthropic entry at all falls back to your `claude` login.
+  "auth": { "providers": {
+    "anthropic": { "tokenEnv": "CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN" }
+  } }
+  ```
 - **Another provider** — the current path is the `REVIEWER_MODEL`
   env override: `opencode auth login` once (pick the provider), then run with
   e.g. `REVIEWER_MODEL=google/gemini-3-pro`. It overrides every agent's model
-  and uses your OpenCode login, so no `auth` block is needed. *(Per-agent
-  provider mixing beyond the alias mechanism above is on the
-  [roadmap](./ROADMAP.md).)*
+  and uses your OpenCode login, so no `auth` block is needed.
+
+Engines are inferred **per agent** from that agent's resolved model alone: an
+`anthropic/…` agent runs through the Claude Code CLI while other agents run through
+OpenCode — in the SAME run. So an anthropic model may coexist with an `openai` (or
+any other) OpenCode provider, and each agent's `model` selects its engine.
+`REVIEWER_MODEL` still overrides every agent's model (and therefore every agent's
+engine), converging the whole run onto one engine.
 
 There is no shared fallback key; if a run fails for lack of credentials, authenticate
 a provider in OpenCode. `ecr doctor` diagnoses setup.

+ * succeed, out-of-tree Read/Grep/Glob (`/etc`, `~/.zshrc`) are denied by the
+ * unmatched-rule denial; a withheld read tool is denied BY NAME because an EMPTY

+ * This is NOT, by itself, a boundary against a symlink committed inside the PR-head
+ * tree (e.g. `docs/notes.md -> ~/.claude/.credentials.json`): the permission rule
+ * matches the literal path ARGUMENT, which is in-tree, but Read/Grep then follow the
+ * symlink via fs and return the out-of-tree target's contents. That gap is closed
+ * UPSTREAM of this argv, where there is still a filesystem to preflight: read-root
+ * materialization strips symlinks that resolve outside the tree
+ * (removeEscapingSymlinks in scrub.ts, run by prepareReadRootAsync). Runs whose read
