fix(codex): read the model above codex 0.162's new footer hint row

Every codex tile and tab showed no model, unlike claude and deepseek.
Codex reports its model only in the footer under the composer
(`  GPT-6-Luna default · ~/codeman-cases/testcase`), and the registry read
the pane's LAST row for it. Codex 0.162.0 added a hint row under the
footer at rest (`  ← for agents · ? for shortcuts`, or `  ? for
shortcuts`), so the last row was always the hint and `displayModel`
stayed null. Measured live on the 1.36.0 beta: the hint is there at rest
and after a turn, and gone while a prompt is being typed (the footer is
the last row again then).

The codex modelDetect window is now two rows, and the footer must be
either the last row or followed by exactly one more two-space-indented
row. Anchoring to the end of the window keeps the guard the one-row rule
had: with the footer hidden, the last two rows are a transcript line and
the `›` composer, so a footer-shaped line the agent printed is not read.
Tests cover both 0.162 hint variants, the typing layout, the hint never
read as a model, and a forged footer-plus-indented pair above the
composer.
