Carry prepared manifest model-id normalization records through the runtime bridge so hot callers reuse existing metadata instead of consulting the snapshot fallback.
The final change preserves the existing no-prepared-record behavior, adds focused forwarding coverage, and removes the one-off proof script before landing.
Thanks @zeroaltitude.

Reuse a lazy model manifest context across configured model resolution so common static defaults do not trigger manifest metadata loads, while keeping plugin-owned normalization available when aliases, provider rows, or OpenRouter compat paths need it.
Preserves exact alias behavior, auth-profile-suffixed alias behavior, provider inference from manifest-normalized configured refs, and existing plugin/runtime cache lifecycle rules.
