fix(terminal): stop forwarding the wheel to codex, it ignores SGR reports

DodgyBadger reported a completely dead wheel in codex tabs (#227 comment)
while the scrollbar drag worked, and the [scroll] line confirmed the
branch: forward-sgr with 967 rows of healthy local scrollback unused.

Measured against codex-cli 0.147.0 in a bare tmux: codex never enables
mouse tracking (mouse_any_flag=0), runs an inline viewport
(alternate_on=0) and pushes its transcript into the terminal's own
scrollback (history_size grows), and SGR wheel reports written to its
pane change nothing at all. Hand-encoded SGR taps are no-ops too, so
they stay (harmless), which means click-to-position is merely
unavailable there rather than damaging.

_shouldForwardWheelToApp now returns true for claude >= 2.1.187 and
nothing else; codex falls to the local-scrollback path like
shell/gemini/opencode, which is the same history the scrollbar drag was
already reaching. The claude-only PageUp fallback is untouched.

Verified in Chromium against a live codex session on an isolated
instance: routing logs local-scrollback, the viewport moves 39 -> 4 and
zero bytes go to the PTY.
