Patrick Buckley 91c46051d9 feat(providers): drop o-series and pre-5.4 GPT-5 capability rows
The OpenAI commercial capability table floor is now gpt-5.4: o1,
o1-mini, o3, o3-mini, o3-pro, o4-mini, gpt-5, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5-nano,
gpt-5-pro, gpt-5.1, gpt-5.1-codex-max, gpt-5.2, gpt-5.2-pro, and
gpt-5.3 are effectively unused in the field. The gpt-5-search-api row
(different product surface) and the audio/STT/TTS rows stay.

A legacy id now resolves to OPENAI_DEFAULT (temperature sent, no
declared effort vocabulary, 200K window) — which those models may
reject; the remediation is the model definition's capabilities JSON or
a current model, release-noted under Unreleased → Removed.

This also retires the transport-collapse review's thrice-reported
"stream-rejecting o1-era models are stranded" finding by removing its
subject: no row in the table describes a non-streaming model anymore.

Tests migrate to 5.4-era equivalents that pin the same behaviors:
always-reasoning temperature suppression and off-list effort snap
(gpt-5.4-pro for gpt-5-pro/o3), explicit-none forwarding (gpt-5.4 for
gpt-5.1), empty-effort-vocabulary knob drop (gpt-5-search-api for
o1-mini), and the longest-prefix shadow hazard (gpt-5.4-pro vs gpt-5.4
for codex-max vs gpt-5.1).
