Stop provider model selection from inheriting global Claude settings

The desktop provider flow was still mixing provider-managed state with
`~/.claude/settings.json`, which let unrelated tools leak fields like
`ANTHROPIC_REASONING_MODEL` and `model` back into the active provider path.
This change moves the provider JSON editor onto `~/.claude/cc-haha/settings.json`,
routes provider settings through dedicated `/api/providers/settings` endpoints,
and makes model reads/writes under an active provider use the managed cc-haha
settings instead of the global user settings file.

Constraint: Active provider model selection must be isolated from legacy ~/.claude/settings.json
Rejected: Keep merging provider JSON with settingsApi.getUser() | external tools can reintroduce unrelated model fields into the provider flow
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Any future provider-model UI or runtime change should read/write cc-haha managed settings first, not the global user settings file
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/provider-presets.test.ts src/server/__tests__/settings.test.ts; cd desktop && bun run lint
Not-tested: Manual desktop provider modal interaction after the cc-haha settings API switch
