Clarify task-level model overrides in issue properties (#9710)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane where operators configure and inspect
AI-agent work.
> - An issue can override the assigned agent's primary model for that
task.
> - The issue-properties UI labeled that per-task setting as `Custom ·
<model>`, which could be read as a property of the model rather than a
replacement of the agent default.
> - Operators need the UI to distinguish the agent's primary model from
an issue-specific override at both the collapsed summary and selection
point.
> - This pull request renames the lane presentation to `Override` and
adds concise provenance text without changing the stored lane value or
adapter configuration behavior.
> - The benefit is that operators can immediately understand which model
will run and why it differs from the agent default.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No matching public GitHub issue was found. Related implementation work:
#9700 moved Codex ACPX model configuration to startup and is already on
`master`; #9355 also addresses ACP session-config rejection behavior.
Those PRs concern execution behavior, while this PR is limited to
clarifying the issue-level override UI.

Bug report details:

- **What happened?** The issue-properties Model row displayed `Custom ·
<model>` for a task-level
`assigneeAdapterOverrides.adapterConfig.model`. Operators could misread
`Custom` as describing the model itself and could not see that the value
replaced the agent's primary model for this issue.
- **Expected behavior:** The UI should explicitly identify a task-level
model as an override and explain that it replaces the agent's primary
model for the issue.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Configure an agent with a primary model, set a
different model on an issue, and inspect the Model row and model picker
in Issue Properties.
- **Paperclip version or commit:** Reproduced on the pre-change branch
derived from current `master`.
- **Deployment mode:** Local development or any deployment using the
board UI.
- **Installation method:** Built from source.
- **Agent adapters involved:** Adapter-agnostic; any adapter exposing
model selection.
- **Database mode:** Not database-related.
- **Access context:** Board operator viewing issue properties.
- **Relevant logs or output:** Not applicable; this is a presentation
ambiguity.
- **Relevant config:** An issue-level
`assigneeAdapterOverrides.adapterConfig.model` differing from the
assigned agent's primary model.
- **Additional context:** The internal lane identifier remains `custom`;
only user-facing copy and explanatory text change.
- **Privacy checklist:** No private instance links, internal ticket IDs,
secrets, usernames, or local paths are included.

## What Changed

- Renamed the collapsed issue model label from `Custom · <model>` to
`Override · <model>` and added a provenance tooltip.
- Renamed the model-picker lane from `Custom` to `Override` and added
explanatory subtext at the selection point.
- Updated the Issue Properties component test to assert the new label.
- Added an isolated Storybook fixture for the task model override state
so visual review has a stable target.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx` — 43
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master...HEAD` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — the changed files are clean, but the
repo-wide command currently reports nine unrelated `#9627` comment
references already present on `master` as color literals.

## Risks

- Low risk: this changes display strings and explanatory copy only;
override storage, lane identifiers, API contracts, and execution
behavior are unchanged.
- The global token-gate false positive may also appear in CI until the
unrelated `#9627` references on `master` are allowlisted or the scanner
ignores issue-number comments.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent assisted this PR preparation using medium
reasoning, repository-aware shell execution, Git/GitHub tooling, and
local test/typecheck execution. The hosted runtime did not expose an
exact model ID or context-window size to this session.
