Fix#845 by starting a lightweight standalone provider proxy for CLI-only OpenAI-compatible desktop providers, avoiding a fixed localhost:3456 proxy when the desktop server is not running.
Fix#847 by passing explicit --permission-mode bypassPermissions for scheduled task subprocesses alongside the dangerous-skip flag.

Direct TUI launches read cc-haha managed settings without the desktop host's session-env injection, so a stale proxy URL could survive after switching to an Anthropic-compatible provider. The provider runtime env calculation now has one shared source of truth and CLI config loading recomputes managed provider env from the active provider index before applying it.
Constraint: Direct source-based TUI usage must keep working with .env when no desktop provider is configured
Rejected: Inject desktop runtime only from the embedded terminal shell | native terminals and source TUI launches would still read stale managed settings
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep provider env derivation shared between ProviderService and CLI managedEnv loading

Not-tested: Live provider request from embedded terminal TUI
Virtualized chat rendering keeps inactive long-running sessions cheap without disconnecting their CLI process, while DeepSeek now relies on the shared Thinking setting instead of a provider-specific disabled-thinking override. Existing legacy DeepSeek managed env is normalized so old local settings do not keep suppressing reasoning output after upgrade.
Constraint: Multiple desktop tabs must keep live sessions running and remain quick to switch without reconnecting.
Rejected: Pause or disconnect hidden sessions | would delay tab switching and interrupt streaming/tool state visibility.
Rejected: Keep DeepSeek disabled-thinking preset | conflicts with the General Settings Thinking control.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not reintroduce provider-specific disabled-thinking defaults for DeepSeek without testing both General Settings toggle states.
