security: reduce AgentX identity in Azure requests
Before this commit: Azure requests used an AgentX-specific user agent, and the default system prompt identified the assistant as AgentX. After this commit: Azure requests use a reduced Chrome 150 desktop user agent, and the default system prompt identifies the assistant generically as an AI agent. Tests: `go test ./...` More info: Pin the default browser header to Chrome's reduced desktop format. Refresh the network and context contracts, acceptance scenarios, source coverage, reviewed traces, and generated conformance evidence.

**NET-A07 — Azure API-version mismatch.** Configure Azure with the literal API-version value `preview`; the provider returns status 400 with `x-should-retry:true` and the exact message `Azure OpenAI Responses API is enabled only for api-version 2025-03-01-preview and later`. Verify the specialized classifier wins, exactly one request occurs, and there is no credential refresh, client rebuild for the mismatch, streaming or model fallback, or `auth.json` mutation. One normalized `error_class=provider_configuration` error contains the safe provider request ID and may contain the strictly validated provider minimum as remediation. INFO retains the terminal error. DEBUG additionally identifies `route_family=azure_versioned`, `version_source=configured`, `attempt=1`, and `retry_decision=do_not_retry`, but contains neither the exact configured value nor endpoint, deployment, URL/query, headers, body, or API key. Repeat with the exact template but a malformed minimum; retain the specialized nonretry classification with generic remediation and no minimum token. A wording variant, an over-2-KiB message, and the valid sentence embedded as a substring retain ordinary provider-error classification.
