fix(model-resolver): skip fallback chain when no cache exists

When no provider cache exists, skip the fallback chain entirely and let
OpenCode use Provider.defaultModel() as the final fallback. This prevents
incorrect model selection when the plugin loads before providers connect.

- Remove forced first-entry fallback when no cache
- Add log messages for cache miss scenarios
- Update tests for new behavior
