test(server): an apply to a plugin that reports controls sends its changes as provider options

A plugin may run an option it never reports. Only a key it reported before can be
reported as removed, and a rewind reopens with the accepted request plus what the
plugin reported back.

+### Options flow
+
+`options` on the agent snapshot is the only option state. Controls describe how to draw an
+option and read `options`; they hold no value of their own. Any option can be read and set with
+or without a control.
+
+- **Create and resume.** The provider opens with the options it is given and emits nothing about
+  them while opening. `openOptionsPatch` carries every option the session ended up with that
+  differs from what it was given, including a setting nobody asked for (a native default such as
+  Cursor opening with Fast on). It is set before `createSession`/`resumeSession` resolves and the
+  daemon stores it before the agent is published. A reopened agent resumes that state, so a
+  native default the provider later changes does not follow. `options` on the snapshot is what
+  the session opened with, and afterwards it moves only through an apply or an `options_changed`.
+  Editing a provider default in `config.json` affects agents the next time they open.
+- **Live apply.** `applyOptions` receives the keys the patch touches, resolved against the
+  `config.json` defaults. A removal arrives as the default the key falls back to, or `null` when
+  there is none; the provider returns the setting to its own default if it can, or throws to
+  reject. A key the running session cannot apply (one the provider reads only when it opens) is
+  rejected too, so a stored option always describes what runs. Claude reads most options when it
+  starts its query, and replacing a started query would end its background work, so after the
+  first prompt only Fast can change. Codex fixes its approval policy and sandbox when the thread
+  starts, so it applies only `service_tier` and `plan_mode` live. A session with no
+  `applyOptions` rejects every patch; the daemon enforces this. The provider returns the options
+  it ended up with when they differ from the request. The daemon
+  stores the patch and that result in one step after the call resolves, onto the agent's options
+  as they are at that moment, so the last write wins. Throwing rejects the whole patch and
+  none of it is stored. Emit nothing from inside the call. If the provider's own state moved
+  before it refused, it reports the moved values once as `options_changed` after the call has
+  ended, because the stored options must match what runs.
+- **Old data converts in the agent manager.** Codex used to take `fast_mode`; it takes
+  `service_tier` now. `AgentManager` runs `convertLegacyOptions` (`option-controls.ts`) on an
+  agent's own options when it creates, resumes, imports, reloads or applies to it, and on draft
+  controls, before defaults merge and before anything is stored (`true` is `"fast"`, `false` is
+  `"default"`, and a `service_tier` in the same input wins). The manager converts for the adapter
+  behind the provider id, following `derivedFromProviderId`, so a custom provider with
+  `extends: "codex"` is converted too. Configured defaults convert in the provider registry. A
+  stored record keeps `fast_mode` until the agent is next opened or applied to, and is stored
+  converted from then on. Nothing past the manager sees `fast_mode` for Codex. Codex resolves
+  `"fast"` to the model's Fast tier and reports the id it runs through `openOptionsPatch` or the
+  `applyOptions` result like any other value. The `featureValues` to `options` fold is separate
+  and provider-agnostic; it stays at the protocol and legacy edges.
+- **Clients draw from the daemon's answer.** The app reads `controls` and `options` from the
+  agent snapshot for a running or closed agent. A draft and a profile form send everything they
+  would create with (seed, the provider's last-used control values once the provider has said it
+  still draws them, and the user's edits) in `provider.controls.list.request` and draw only what
+  comes back, so an alias such as a legacy Fast profile's `service_tier: "fast"` is resolved once,
+  by the daemon. A toggle shows over the last answer until its own answer arrives. The draft's
+  layers live in a plain model (`agent-controls/draft-options-model.ts`): applying a profile
+  replaces provider and options in one step, while choosing a provider by hand starts over. A
+  profile saves its stored options plus the form's edits, so options no control draws survive an
+  edit. A daemon without `server_info.features.providerOptionControls` sends `features` and
+  `featureValues`; `packages/client/src/compat/legacy-provider-options.ts` is the one place that
+  turns those into `controls` and `options` and back, so nothing in the app branches on it. A
+  create that carries options first lists the controls for its own provider, model, mode and
+  thinking level, since which options are controls differs by model, and sends those as
+  `featureValues`; callers do not prime anything.
+- **Provider-initiated changes.** A setting the provider changes on its own is an
+  `options_changed` event. The daemon stores and forwards it and does not push the old value back.
