P1 Badge Update the owned routing documentation

Document the new affinity reasons and the preserved no-account release behavior in the applicable structure/ sources. This changes the shared src/codex/ routing contract, while none of the documents assigned to that area in structure/INDEX.md were updated; in particular, structure/providers/openai-tiers.md already specifies bound-thread release behavior and will otherwise omit these diagnostic semantics.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Scope pending release reasons by affinity scope.

threadAccountMap stores bindings by threadId and ThreadAffinityScope (src/codex/routing.ts:327-331). pendingReleaseReasons stores reasons by only threadId (src/codex/routing.ts:455-469). A reserve resolve can release its binding, return cleared from affinityOnNoAccount, and preserve the reason at src/codex/routing.ts:132. A later shared resolve can read that reason at line 2964 and report rebound through affinityAfterRelease at line 3005. The shared binding did not cause the release.

The routing contract keeps reserve affinity isolated from shared affinity (src/codex/routing.ts:322-325 and src/codex/routing.ts:3336-3339). The diagnostic reason must use the same scope as the released binding.

Key pending reasons by threadAffinityScope(quotaScope). Pass the scope through the note, peek, and clear helpers and through affinityOnNoAccount and affinityAfterRelease. When clearThreadAccountMapForAccount removes multiple scoped bindings, record each removed binding's scope instead of using one unscoped key. Add a regression test for a reserve no-account release followed by a fresh shared binding.

In `@src/codex/routing.ts` at line 132, Scope pending release reasons by
ThreadAffinityScope rather than threadId alone. Update notePendingReleaseReason,
peek, clear, affinityOnNoAccount, and affinityAfterRelease to accept and
propagate threadAffinityScope(quotaScope), and have
clearThreadAccountMapForAccount record each removed binding under its own scope.
Preserve reserve/shared isolation and add a regression test covering a reserve
no-account release followed by a fresh shared binding.

P2 Badge Pass the paused reason from production pause sweeps

Make the dashboard/API pause paths call clearThreadAccountMapForAccount(id, "paused"). Both pause implementations in src/codex/auth-api.ts currently clear the binding first with the default "unusable" reason (lines 2191 and 2295), so the next resolve has no entry and never reaches this new classifier; real operator pauses therefore still log affinityReason: "unusable", while the regression passes only because it mutates pausedCodexAccountIds directly without exercising the production sweep.
