Preserve the WSL advisory after native reasoning retries.

When the native Chat Completions request times out after retriedReasoningTruncation, probeOpenAiLikeEndpointWithValidationSession returns failedChatValidation or failedChatToolCall without advisory. The onboarding validation presenter can therefore omit the --skip-verify recovery action. Preserve WSL_SLOW_VERIFICATION_ADVISORY on this path or delegate to legacyProbe.

In `@src/lib/inference/onboard-probes.ts` around lines 1073 - 1082, Update
probeOpenAiLikeEndpointWithValidationSession so timeout failures after
retriedReasoningTruncation preserve WSL_SLOW_VERIFICATION_ADVISORY on
failedChatValidation and failedChatToolCall results, or delegate that path to
legacyProbe; ensure the onboarding validation presenter retains the
--skip-verify recovery action.
