fix: honor CODEX_CONFIG reasoning summary per turn

sendPrompt() unconditionally set summary to "auto", overriding whatever
the session config carried via CODEX_CONFIG. Read the configured value
and pass it through; fall back to "auto" only when unset or invalid.
disableSummary still forces "none" unconditionally.
