Validate Anthropic reasoning defaults before request construction.

providerConfigSchema passes modelDefaultReasoningEfforts through without validation. An invalid value therefore reaches src/adapters/anthropic.ts:522-525. The adaptive branch sends values such as "ultra" or "bogus" as unsupported output_config.effort; the traditional branch silently maps them to the 8192-token default. Reject or ignore defaults unless they are in the model’s effective Anthropic-supported ladder (minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, or max), and add coverage for both thinking branches.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the configured default value, not only the thinking shape.

The test configures "high" but only checks that budget_tokens is a number. An implementation that ignores the provider default and uses "medium" would still pass.

Assert that the budget is 16384.

Proposed test fix 
-    expect(typeof thinking?.budget_tokens).toBe("number");
+    expect(thinking?.budget_tokens).toBe(16384);

As per path instructions: tests/**: Tests are flat Bun tests under tests/. A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.
