Eric Traut c2f7fe89d8 Use server model defaults for connected TUI fresh starts (#50913)
## Why

Fresh starts connected to an app server can bootstrap with stale client model settings before reading the server configuration. An empty model catalog can also prevent startup even when managed new-thread defaults provide a model.

## What changed

- Read server configuration before model bootstrap for fresh starts using a local daemon or remote server without an explicit profile.
- Preserve explicit model and reasoning-effort overrides, clear implicit client settings when `config/read` is unsupported, and allow managed new-thread defaults to supply a model when the catalog is empty.
- Use the launch directory for local daemon configuration reads and the server directory for remote reads.

## Testing

Update startup-default tests to cover managed model selection with an empty catalog. Strengthen the reconnect test with a stale client model and an assertion that `config/read` uses the server directory.
