fix(small-model): route anthropic provider through configured baseURL

The Anthropic small-model dispatch (session-assist recap/suggestion,
walkthrough, etc.) hardcoded https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages,
ignoring provider.anthropic.options.baseURL — the same override every
other provider branch already respects. Any setup routing the anthropic
provider through a local proxy (e.g. Meridian for Claude Max / Vertex)
had the small-model call bypass the proxy and hit the real Anthropic API
with whatever placeholder credential the proxy config uses, failing with
401 invalid x-api-key on every call.

 - Git: pull-request checks in Work status stay current as their status changes.
 - UI: the default dialog close button is easier to click or tap (thanks to @rockinrimmer).
 - Desktop/Windows: the close button now aligns correctly with the rest of the window chrome.
+- Session assist: recaps and suggested follow-ups now work when the Anthropic provider is configured to use a custom endpoint; they previously failed every time instead of using that configured connection.
