fix(proxy): make auto-selection fallback opt-in (#3332) (#3344)

selectWorkingProxyFallback (Step 11 of resolveProxyForConnection) listed ALL
registry proxies, ignoring assignments and per-connection proxy_enabled, and
returned the first working one with level:'autoSelect'. So a single proxy added
to the registry silently became a global fallback for every connection's traffic.

Gate it behind a new PROXY_AUTO_SELECT_ENABLED feature flag (default off): the
fallback now no-ops unless the operator opts in. No registry proxy becomes a
silent global default anymore.

 ### 🔧 Bug Fixes
 
+- **fix(proxy):** proxy auto-selection is now **opt-in** (new `PROXY_AUTO_SELECT_ENABLED` flag, default off). Previously a single proxy in the registry silently became a global fallback for **all** provider connections (the Step-11 fallback listed every registry proxy, ignoring assignments and per-connection `proxy_enabled`). It now no-ops unless the operator enables the flag. (#3332 — thanks @hertznsk)
 - **fix(cli):** write the OpenCode config to `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` on **all** platforms — on Windows OmniRoute wrote to `%APPDATA%\opencode\` but OpenCode reads from `%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\` (XDG), so dashboard-saved config silently had no effect. (#3330 — thanks @abdulkadirozyurt)
 - **fix(catalog):** remove `minimaxai/minimax-m3` from the **NVIDIA NIM** tier — NVIDIA does not host it yet, so every request 404'd (`404 page not found`), while sibling `minimax-m2.7` on the same provider works. MiniMax M3 stays available on the tiers that actually serve it. (#3329 — thanks @mikmaneggahommie)
 - **fix(electron):** ship `loginManager.js` in the packaged app — #3292 added it (and a `require("./loginManager")` in `main.js`) without adding it to electron-builder's `build.files`, so the packaged app crashed at startup with "Cannot find module" on the Linux/macOS smoke tests. Plus a regression test asserting every local `require("./x")` in the Electron entry points is shipped. ([#3334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/3334) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
