fix(model-resolution): honor user config overrides on cold cache

When provider-models cache is cold (first run / cache miss),
resolveModelForDelegateTask returns {skipped: true}. Previously this
caused the subagent resolver to:

1. Ignore the user's explicit model override (e.g. explore.model)
2. Fall through to the hardcoded fallback chain which may contain
   model IDs that don't exist in the provider catalog

Now:
- subagent-resolver: if resolution is skipped but user explicitly
  configured a model, use it directly
- subagent-resolver: don't assign hardcoded fallback chain on skip
- category-resolver: same — don't leak hardcoded chain on skip
- general-agents: if user model fails resolution, use it as-is
  instead of falling back to hardcoded chain first entry

Closes #2820
