zccyman 2e181602a1 fix(agent): isolate credential pool on provider fallback
Closes #33163.

When _try_activate_fallback() switches from one provider to another (e.g.
openai-codex → openrouter), the credential pool still belongs to the
primary provider. This causes two compounding bugs:

1. The pool retains the primary's base_url. Downstream pool recovery
   (rate_limit / billing / auth) calls _swap_credential() with a primary
   entry which overwrites the agent's base_url back to the primary's
   endpoint. Every fallback request then 404s against the wrong host.

2. Pool recovery acting on errors from the FALLBACK provider mutates the
   PRIMARY's pool state (#33088 reported a related corruption pattern),
   exhausting/rotating entries that have nothing to do with the failure.

Two layered fixes:

a) try_activate_fallback (agent/chat_completion_helpers.py): on fallback
   activation, clear agent._credential_pool when the fallback provider
   doesn't match the pool's provider. Pool is preserved when the fallback
   shares the pool's provider (e.g. multiple openrouter entries).

b) recover_with_credential_pool (agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py):
   defensive guard rejects any pool mutation when agent.provider doesn't
   match pool.provider. Defense-in-depth — should never fire after (a)
   is in place, but covers any future path that attaches a stale pool.

Salvaged from @zccyman's PR #33217. The original PR was written against
the pre-refactor monolithic run_agent.py; both target functions have
since been extracted to module-level helpers. Behavior is identical —
the guards live in the canonical extracted locations.

Tests
- New tests/run_agent/test_fallback_credential_isolation.py (7 tests
  covering: fallback clears mismatched pool, fallback preserves matching
  pool, recovery rejects mismatched pool, recovery accepts matching
  pool, 429-from-z.ai-doesn't-exhaust-codex-pool, _client_kwargs
  base_url survives pool clear, _swap_credential doesn't restore
  primary URL after fallback).
- Cross-verified: 77/77 passing across fallback isolation tests +
  agent/test_credential_pool.py — no regression.

"""Tests for fallback credential pool isolation.
Verifies that fallback activation isolates the credential pool from the
primary provider, preventing two bugs:
1. GH #33163: fallback retains primary's base_url → requests go to wrong endpoint
2. GH #33088: fallback provider's 429 exhausts primary credential pool
Both bugs share the same root cause: _recover_with_credential_pool and
_swap_credential continue operating on the PRIMARY's credential pool during
fallback calls, contaminating primary state with fallback-provider errors.
