fix(active-memory): clarify modelFallbackPolicy deprecation warning text

Closes #74587. AI-assisted, fully tested.

The previous deprecation warning ("set config.modelFallback explicitly
if you want a fallback model") read naturally as runtime failover —
model A errors → switch to model B. The actual semantics in
`getModelRef` are different: `modelFallback` is the **last candidate
in the chain-resolution walk**, consulted only when `config.model`,
the current run's model, AND the agent's configured default have all
resolved to nothing. There is no error-recovery / retry-with-different-model
path.

The mismatch wastes real debug time. The issue filer reports ~1 hour of
cycles before reading source revealed the gap; users without source
access can debug for much longer assuming runtime failover exists.

## Fix

Rewrite the warning string to:

1. State the deprecation (preserved).
2. Describe `modelFallback`'s actual semantics — chain-resolution
   last-resort, gated on the three earlier candidates resolving to
   nothing.
3. Explicitly disclaim the wrong mental model — "it is NOT a runtime
   failover that substitutes a different model when the resolved model
   errors out" — so a quick read can't lead the operator astray.

No behavior change, only operator-facing copy. Surrounding code paths
(`getModelRef`, `hasDeprecatedModelFallbackPolicy`, the warn caller in
`register()`) are untouched.

## Tests

`extensions/active-memory/index.test.ts` extends the existing
deprecation-warning assertion to pin both the positive copy
(`chain-resolution`, `last-resort`) and the negative disclaimer
(`NOT a runtime failover`), so a future "let's reword this" change
that reintroduces the failover-implying language fails the test
instead of silently regressing.

`pnpm test extensions/active-memory/index.test.ts` — 94 passed.
`pnpm exec oxfmt --check` — clean. `pnpm exec oxlint` — 0 warnings,
0 errors.

## AI-assisted PR

- [x] Mark as AI-assisted (Claude). Lightly tested via the targeted
  Vitest extension shard; not exercised against a live Ollama / AM
  rollout because the change is a log-string update, not behavior.
- [x] Confirm I understand what the code does: yes — `getModelRef`
  walks four candidates (`config.model`, `currentRunModel`,
  `configuredDefaultModel`, `config.modelFallback`) and returns the
  first non-null parse; `modelFallback` is purely a default-when-empty
  selector, not a runtime failover.
