Apply the alias override when a live query switches to custom opus.

The alias override is set only when a query opens in makeClaudeQueryOptions. When the model changes on a reused query, applySelectionLive calls setModel and then applyFlagSettings(claudeLiveSelectionFlagSettings(selection)). That helper returns only effortLevel, fastMode, and ultracode, with no env entry.

A thread that opened on another model can switch to a custom opus on the same reused query. The model switch then sends a bare opus alias without ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL. Claude Code can expand that alias to its built-in model, which is the failure described in #22326.

Include the matching alias override on the live path, or reopen the query when the alias override changes. Confirm first that applyFlagSettings merges env into the running session.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts around lines 1996 - 2001:
Update the live model-switch path in applySelectionLive so switching to a custom opus applies the matching alias override; first confirm applyFlagSettings merges env into the running session. If it does not, reopen the query when the alias override changes rather than sending a bare opus alias.
