Provider ladder & failover

Providers

Chain: codex → openrouter → anthropic → grok → openai-compatible → ollama → deterministic. Only Codex edits the repo; cloud/local providers return strict JSON plans PatchPilot applies. Lower-trust providers need consent in ask mode. No API keys are ever shown here.
