Restrict GitHub Copilot model catalog to live-enabled models

This change makes Copilot model selection honor entitlement and policy directly from the live `/models` response: `filterModel` now excludes policy-disabled or non-picker models, and `ModelManagerOptions.dynamicIsAuthoritative=true` forces `resolveProviderModels` to keep only IDs returned by the live API, preventing stale bundled entries from persisting in merged results and cache.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Implemented entitlement-aware model curation by adding explicit policy/picker filtering and an authoritative live-catalog merge path, so disabled or deprecated Copilot models are removed before users can select them.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

GitHub Copilot users and operators will no longer see or pick blocked/disabled models in the model picker, reducing the chance of selecting a model that fails immediately with `model_not_supported`, and teams should watch whether policy changes and temporary API anomalies keep the cached catalog synchronized in time. Concretely, the PR enforces `filterModel` checks for `policy.state != enabled` and `model_picker_enabled = false` and applies `dynamicIsAuthoritative` so merged results are constrained to live response IDs; testing showed a catalog reduction from 31 to 12 entries matching account settings.

can1357/oh-my-pi PR #1211: fix(ai): filter org-policy-blocked models from GitHub Copilot catalog

Filtered Copilot model catalogs now remove live and bundled models that are disabled by org policy or user settings, so the picker/cache only returns actually available models.
