sets the embedded codex defaults to gpt-5.6-sol / high, replacing gpt-5.5 / xhigh.

Behavior change: reasoning effort drops a tier for anyone on the embedded default. An uncustomized config resolved to xhigh for external codex review and now resolves to high. A codex_reasoning_effort set in user config is unaffected, since an uncommented value is preserved across updates and wins over the embedded default.

the effort-only doc example moves from --task-model=:high to :low. With high as the new default, :high no longer demonstrates an override.

also carries a table test for the six untested section constructors in pkg/status. Coverage there goes 71.4% to 100%.

NewTaskIterationSection, NewCodexIterationSection, NewClaudeEvalSection,
NewGenericSection, NewPlanIterationSection, and NewCustomIterationSection had
no tests. Table test asserts the Type/Iteration/Label contract for each,
taking pkg/status from 71.4% to 100%.
set codex_model to gpt-5.6-sol and codex_reasoning_effort to high in the
embedded config. Effort drops a tier from xhigh, so external codex review in
default-claude mode runs at high unless codex_reasoning_effort is set
explicitly.

the effort-only doc example moves from --task-model=:high to :low. With high
as the new default, :high no longer demonstrates an override.
