chore(agent-eval): standing A/B model policy — sonnet + high effort, never Opus/Fable (#816)

All agent A/B arms now run claude --model sonnet --effort high by default
(MODEL/EFFORT env overrides exist). Sonnet is the deliberate floor model:
codegraph's users attach whatever host they already run (Cursor Composer,
Gemini, ...), and a stronger model's tool-use masks the salience problems a
weaker one exposes — what lands on Sonnet generalizes up; Opus/Fable-only
wins don't generalize down. Policy recorded in CLAUDE.md's validation
methodology; 11 hardcoded --model opus call sites across 9 eval scripts
switched to the env-overridable default.
