FN-7700: enrich Cursor model picker with reasoning/contextWindow metadata

Threads optional reasoning and context-window metadata from Cursor CLI model discovery through to the dashboard's Cursor model picker, replacing hardcoded false/0 defaults with pass-through values when the CLI reports them.
- Extend cursorDiscoveryToModels/discoverCursorProviderModels to carry reasoning/contextWindow from structured JSON model entries
- Update runtime-provider-probes.ts to surface the new metadata fields
- Update cursor-agent process-manager and provider to parse and propagate reasoning/contextWindow from CLI output
- Add/extend tests covering the new metadata plumbing in cursor-model-cache, process-manager, and provider
- Add changeset documenting the patch-level dashboard feature

+summary: Cursor CLI model-picker rows now surface reasoning/context-window metadata when the Cursor CLI reports it.
+category: feature
+dev: Threads optional reasoning/contextWindow from cursor-agent model discovery (structured JSON entries only) through discoverCursorProviderModels into cursorDiscoveryToModels, replacing the hardcoded false/0 defaults. Text-only CLI output (today's real behavior) still yields false/0, so the change is behavior-preserving against the current CLI and forward-compatible. Metadata is pass-through only — never fabricated or parsed from free text. Parallels the deferred Hermes enrichment gap (FN-7696/FN-7636).
