Use legacy preferences when resolving new-draft defaults.

If server preferences are null, a draft created before migration completes can retain the hidden project default and select a catalog fallback instead of the environment default. Resolve the project default with the merged preferences before seeding the draft, while keeping server preferences authoritative.

Review comment at @packages/shared/src/projectSettings.ts at line 161:
Update the project-default resolution in the code around providerModelPreferences so new drafts use merged preferences when server preferences are null, preserving legacy preferences during migration; keep server preferences authoritative whenever present.

Do not treat every configured custom slug as visible.

If customModels contains the slug of a hidden built-in model, this check keeps the project override. The web client discards that custom entry because its slug matches a built-in model, then hides the built-in model. A new draft can therefore select a catalog fallback instead of the environment default. Check whether the custom entry produces a visible option before exempting the override; cover the built-in-slug collision in the regression table. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/shared/src/projectSettings.ts at line 162:
Update the override exemption that uses readCustomModelEntries so it only applies when a custom entry produces a visible option, not merely when its slug matches the model. Preserve the environment-default behavior when a custom slug collides with a hidden built-in that the web client discards, and add that collision to the regression table.
