orchestrate: GPT-6 Sol replaces Astra as the bundled Codex executor - #508

Conversation
The execution layer's bundled Codex profile is now `gpt-6-sol`; Astra stays a bundled collaboration peer and can still be added as an executor by hand. Sol's guidance chooses effort per task (low for small clear briefs, medium for routine work, higher as constraints grow) instead of Astra's low-only rule, and the workflow prompt and settings copy follow. Migration: an untouched bundled Codex executor row, whether the old Sol 5.6 default or either Astra default text, becomes the Sol 6 built-in unless the user already added Sol 6; rows with custom text, an endpoint profile, or changed switches stay as they are.
… is the second opinion Sol's profile now follows OpenAI's model guidance rather than Astra's low-only rule: built for complex coding and agentic workflows, about half the factual errors of GPT-5.6 Sol, Astra-level reliability at a fraction of the cost, Opus-class computer use at far lower cost per task, and medium as the recommended starting effort. It is named the primary executor so ordinary work goes there first. Opus 5.5's profile is reworded as the secondary executor: a Claude Code perspective, a cross-provider second implementation or review, or a fallback when Sol is unavailable or stalls. The previous Opus text is kept as a constant so untouched rows migrate to the new wording and customised ones are left alone. The workflow prompt and settings copy say the same.
…py, and research Sol: close instruction following, reliable goal completion, computer use, lower cost. Opus 5.5: first choice for UI design, copywriting, creative and open-ended research work, and a cross-provider second implementation or review. Workflow prompt and settings copy say the same.
