fix: review fixes for custom LLM provider PR

- Add server-side validation of custom provider ID format (lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, 1-64 chars) to match frontend regex - Tighten is_nearai_private_endpoint to exact-match private.near.ai or *.private.near.ai, rejecting lookalikes like private-evil.near.ai - Fix misleading priority doc comments in config/mod.rs and settings.rs to reflect the split model: LLM uses DB > env, others use env > DB - Clean up #1581 artifacts: remove TOML file creation from persist_selected_model (DB is sufficient), update stale priority comments in commands.rs, fix contradictory test assertions - Add 18 new tests for provider ID validation, adapter validation, and nearai private endpoint matching Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>

+//! where a `user_id` becomes known.
