Model-id remapping via CLAUDE_CODE_BREEZY_HORIZON now validates ids more strictly and warns on no-op mappings

What

The mechanism that lets a model id be substituted for another before a prompt is sent (driven by the CLAUDE_CODE_BREEZY_HORIZON environment variable or server-supplied config) now validates candidate model ids more precisely. It also warns distinctly when a mapping's target is the same model it's meant to replace, reporting that the mapping "maps nothing," instead of silently treating it as a no-op.

Why

This makes a misconfigured or pointless model-id mapping visible as a warning instead of failing silently, making it easier to notice when a substitution rule isn't actually doing anything.
