Subject: [PATCH] fix(coding-agent): default openai provider to gpt-6.1-sol
 (#11467)

The `openai` provider still defaulted to `gpt-5.5`. The same default
applies to API-key logins and to "Sign in with ChatGPT", so logging in
through ChatGPT selected `openai/gpt-5.5`. The reporter says that model
no longer works with a ChatGPT subscription. The `openai-codex` and
`github-copilot` providers already default to `gpt-6.1-sol`.

This change sets `defaultModelPerProvider.openai` to `gpt-6.1-sol` in
`packages/coding-agent/src/core/model-resolver.ts`. The new value
applies in three places: the model picked after `/login` when no model
was set, the fallback model at startup, and the default model for
`--provider openai`. API-key users get the new default too.

I did not test against a real ChatGPT account, so the claim that the
subscription rejects `gpt-5.5` is not checked here.

Testing:
- Updated the assertion in `test/model-resolver.test.ts` ("openai
defaults track current models"). It now expects `gpt-6.1-sol`; the
model-resolver tests pass.
- `npm run check` passes.
- `pi --list-models gpt-6.1` still lists `openai/gpt-6.1-sol`, so the
new default is in the catalog.

Fixes #11442
