Update default model to 'anthropic/claude-opus-4.6' and refine terminal working directory settings

- Changed the default LLM model in the setup wizard and example environment file to 'anthropic/claude-opus-4.6'.
- Updated terminal working directory settings in CLI and related files to use the current directory ('.') instead of '/tmp'.
- Enhanced documentation comments for clarity on terminal configuration and working directory behavior.
