feat(acp): opt-in model selection through a session config option

[NuCl34R]

What

Three capabilities on the generic ACP runtime in server/drivers/acp/core.ts,
all of them opt-in, plus one bug fix. No new engine, nothing visible in the UI,
and no existing driver file is touched.

This is step 1 of the plan in #102. The measurements behind each item are in
my comment there,
taken against opencode 1.18.18.

Why

opencode acp cannot be driven by the current core: it takes no -m, and it
reports token usage somewhere the core does not read. Rather than fold those
quirks into a driver, they belong in the runtime the same way pickAuthMethod
and authFailure already do. Each capability below is inert unless a support
object asks for it, so this lands safely on its own, ahead of any engine.

The three capabilities

selectModel?: { configId: string }. For harnesses whose ACP subcommand
takes no -m, the model is set through session/set_config_option after the
session exists. The hook fires on session/load as well as session/new, so a
resumed thread selects its model too.

It verifies rather than trusts. The agent has to confirm the new value in the
returned configOptions, and the turn aborts if it does not:

if (selectedModel !== turn.model) {
  throw new Error(`… did not switch to ${turn.model} (still ${selectedModel ?? "unknown"})`);
}

An agent that answers OK and keeps its old model is worse than one that errors,
because it silently burns a paid turn on something other than what the picker
shows.

transformEnv(env, config) now receives the instance config, so a support
can vary the child env with fullAuto instead of only stripping fixed keys.

isAuthenticated(env, config) may now return a promise. Some harnesses
cannot answer "can this actually run a turn" without asking the CLI.

The bug fix

session/prompt usage was read from result._meta only. opencode reports it at
the result root, so the count was dropped:

const usage = result?.usage ?? result?._meta ?? {};

The order matters and is not arbitrary. opencode sends _meta: {} alongside the
real numbers, and an empty object is truthy, so reading _meta first would
return zero counts for the engine this is meant to fix. Grok and Gemini put
usage under _meta and have no root usage, so both shapes resolve correctly.

What does not change

The two signature changes are widenings: an existing transformEnv(env) still
type-checks when called with a second argument, and a synchronous
isAuthenticated still satisfies boolean | Promise<boolean>. That is why no
driver file appears in this diff. Any engine that does not declare selectModel
runs exactly the code path it ran before.

Verified

On this branch alone, against upstream/main at 13a1bb7, under node 24:

	main @ 13a1bb7	this branch
pnpm test	287 passed / 8 skipped, 35 files	294 passed / 8 skipped, 35 files
pnpm typecheck	0	0
pnpm check:electron	0	0
vite build	0	0

The seven new tests, one per behaviour:

reads token usage from the root of the prompt result
selectModel confirms the requested model before prompting
a model the session does not advertise fails the turn instead of running another
a model switch acknowledged but not applied fails the turn
selects the model on a resumed session too, not just a new one
transformEnv sees the instance config
awaits an async isAuthenticated

The fourth one arrived from CodeRabbit's review of this PR and was worth having.
The unadvertised-model test rides the fake CLI's -32602, so it settles inside
request() and never reaches the confirmation guard; the guard's own case had
no coverage. It was checked both ways: with the guard neutered the new test does
not merely fail, it reports ok: true on a turn that ran m-one while m-two
was requested, which is precisely the silent wrong-model turn the guard exists
to stop.

The _meta shape keeps its existing coverage untouched, which is what proves
the ?? order did not regress the engines already using it. The fake ACP CLI in
server/testing/fake-acp-cli.ts grew the switches needed to produce the new
shapes.

One of those tests is a fix to a test I wrote earlier in this branch: it passed
resumeCursor: "fake-acp-session", which is the same id session/new returns,
so a session/load that threw and fell back would have emitted a
byte-identical sessionId and the assertion would still have passed. Proved
rather than argued: making the fake's session/load return an error left the
old test green, and turns it red with a distinct cursor.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cd015

This PR adds opt-in ACP model selection and related runtime hooks while preserving existing behavior for integrations that do not enable them; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Test an acknowledged but unapplied model selection.

The fake CLI always changes currentModel when it returns success. This test cannot exercise the rejection path in server/drivers/acp/core.ts Lines 481-485.

Add a test-only fake mode that returns the old configOptions.currentValue after session/set_config_option. Assert that the turn fails and that no prompt output is emitted.

Added in cd0158a. The finding was correct: the existing unadvertised-model
test rides the fake CLI's -32602, so it settles inside request() and never
reaches the confirmation guard at all. The guard's own case, an agent that
answers OK and keeps its old model, had no coverage.

Checked both directions rather than just adding a green test. With the guard
neutered, the new test does not merely fail, it reports success on a turn that
ran the wrong model:

- "ok": false
+ "ok": true

m-one ran while m-two was requested, and the turn reported itself fine. That
is the silent wrong-model turn the guard exists to stop, which is why an
acknowledged-but-unapplied switch is worth a test that an outright error is not.

core.ts is unchanged, this is coverage only. Suite goes from 293 to 294
passed, 8 skipped, 35 files, typecheck clean.
