fix(combo): attach combo diagnostics to round-robin and runtime-unit retry-limit 503s (#11462)

The round-robin combo strategy's terminal "Maximum combo retry limit
reached" 503 (open-sse/services/combo.ts, handleRoundRobinCombo) and the
nested runtime-unit loop used by pipeline/fusion combo steps
(open-sse/services/combo/runtimeUnits.ts) returned a bare errorResponse()
with zero diagnostics, while the priority-strategy path in the same file
already attaches a full errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics trace
(poolSize, attemptOrder, excluded providers/reasons, terminalReason,
recovery hint) for the identical terminal condition.

Wire the same diagnostics helper into both paths so callers get the same
actionable trace regardless of combo strategy.

-- **fix(combos):** the combo builder's precision-select, global-model-search, and manual-entry flows now serialize a model step's `model` string using the provider's already-computed routing-alias prefix (e.g. `oc/`) instead of rebuilding it from the raw canonical `providerId`, fixing the no-auth "OpenCode Free" provider (`opencode`) being routed to the unrelated paid "OpenCode Zen" provider (`opencode-zen`) because `opencode` doubles as a manual routing-prefix override ([#11433](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/11433)).
