refactor(server): share the question card's multi-select answer splitting

OpenCode v2 and OMP both read the question card's comma-joined multi-select answer back into option labels. Keep that in one helper next to the providers so the two cannot drift. Co-authored-by: Grant Ammons <grant@grant.dev>

+
+Set provider defaults in `agents.providers.<id>.options`. At agent creation, use
+`providerOptions` on the wire or `config.options` in the SDK. Both are opaque
+`Record<string, unknown>` values: the provider owns validation and application.
+Claude, Codex, and OpenCode reject unknown keys with a key-specific creation error.
+Providers without option handling ignore the record.

+`null` replace the base value. Only the agent's own options are persisted, so edits
+to provider defaults apply on the next launch or resume. A profile inherits its

 ## Usage sources

-Usage is fetched on demand from plugin usage sources. Each source registers through `server.registerUsageSource()` with an input schema, `fetch(input)`, and required `discover()`. The daemon discovers configured accounts, validates inputs in the plugin runtime, caches each source/input result for five minutes, and returns `usage.list_reports.response`. A source report has an account key, availability status, plan label, windows, balances, and details.
-
-Create a built-in source under `plugins/<name>-usage-source/` with the same manifest, entry, `server/`, `shared/`, and `icon.svg` layout as an external plugin. Add its ID to `builtinPlugins` in `packages/server/src/server/plugins/builtin/index.ts`. Keep credential discovery, API parsing, and normalization inside the source; use helpers from `@getpaseo/plugin/server/usage`. The wire shape remains source agnostic. See [plugin usage sources](plugins.md#usage-sources).

 journeys remain outside the default mobile suite, alongside the compact sheet journeys above.

 Keep generated screenshots, recordings, and run logs outside the repository.
+
+## Stacked adaptive sheets
+
+`stacked-pairing.ad` opens the welcome screen's pairing sheet and then the root-mounted host
+confirmation. It first types without tapping the input to verify autofocus, then cancels the
+confirmation, closes and reopens the underlying sheet, confirms again,
+and completes the password retry. `stacked-settings.ad` checks the same return and retry through
+Settings → add host → Direct connection → Advanced. Run both on phones and tablets so both the
+bottom sheet and centered dialog are exercised.
+
+These integration journeys require the host-confirmation flow in the test app. Include both the
+sheet fix and that flow in the QA checkout when verifying them; the production sheet component
+has no dependency on the host-confirmation feature.
+
+Use a fresh English app with notification permission granted and first-use keyboard prompts
+already dismissed. Load this checkout from an isolated Metro. Start an isolated password-protected
+daemon and a local Wrangler relay with `--var 'PASEO_RELAY_UPSTREAM:'`; the checked-in upstream
+setting otherwise forwards traffic to the hosted relay, which drops password rejection replies.
+Set `PAIRING_LINK` to the daemon's `relay://` URI with an intentionally incorrect `password` query
+parameter, and `PASSWORD` to its correct password. This exercises password retry even while the
+daemon accepts relay connections with no credential.
+
+```sh
+agent-device replay packages/app/e2e/mobile/modal-sheet/stacked-pairing.ad \
+  --state-dir "$SHEET_QA_DEVICE_STATE" --session stacked-ipad --platform ios \
+  --udid "$SHEET_QA_IOS_UDID" \
+  --env PAIRING_LINK="$SHEET_QA_LINK" --env PASSWORD="$SHEET_QA_PASSWORD" \
+  --env OUT="$SHEET_QA_OUTPUT"
+```
+
+For Settings, first open Settings with Add host visible. With a saved host, open Switch host
+first. Use a second loopback spelling
+(`localhost` instead of `127.0.0.1`) for the same local relay so the saved host asks for confirmation
+of its changed connection. Pass that link to `stacked-settings.ad` with the same arguments.
+For an app with no saved hosts, use the original link; Add host is visible directly in Settings.
+
+Android uses the same journeys: copy each script outside the repository, change its context's
+`platform=ios` to `platform=android`, and pass `--serial` instead of `--udid`. Reverse both Metro
+(including the port advertised by its manifest) and the local relay ports. Keep driver state,
+artifacts, and sessions separate from other runs. These host-dependent journeys remain outside the
+default mobile suite, alongside the existing modal-sheet scripts.
+
+On iPhone, bulk replacement or bulk keyboard entry of the advanced URI field triggers a
+repeated-update error with both the parent and stacked-sheet implementations. Entering the complete
+URI one character at a time passed with both implementations; faster typing remains unverified.
+On iPad, replacing the field a second time appends text. For this Settings journey, use the
+native clipboard Paste menu, then continue the assertions manually. Dismiss the password keyboard
+with Done to submit when the Connect button is below the keyboard. The welcome pairing regression
+runs end to end without these adjustments.
