Andrey Avtomonov 41acc5959c fix(setup): require explicit --llm-backend in non-interactive setup
Non-interactive setup (--no-input) silently defaulted the LLM backend to
anthropic, the one backend that cannot self-configure without an extra flag,
then failed with 'Missing Anthropic API key: pass --anthropic-api-key-env or
--anthropic-api-key-file.' — an error that never mentioned --llm-backend. A
user who passed --target claude-code had no way to discover the (hidden)
--llm-backend claude-code flag from the error.

- chooseBackend no longer silently picks anthropic in disabled mode; it fails
  with a message naming --llm-backend, listing every backend, and noting that
  claude-code/codex use local auth (no key).
- The anthropic and embedding credential errors now name --llm-backend /
  --embedding-backend so a keyless backend is discoverable from the error.
- --llm-backend and --embedding-backend use .choices(), so invalid values
  report the allowed set (and the bespoke parser fns are removed).

Only invocations that already failed change behavior; they now fail with an
actionable error instead of a cryptic one.
