Warp: custom model routers, agent UX improvements, and cross-window tab dragging

Warp Agent adds custom model routers (complexity-based or rule-based) for routing tasks to different models. A flurry of UX improvements land: local continuation for third-party agent harnesses, cross-window tab dragging on Windows/macOS, auto-queue of prompts during long-running commands, and a hidden-from-Dock hotkey window mode on macOS. Several AI-stream and clipboard bugs are fixed.
