Jason 92ec18d774 docs(aggregation): correct the workaround for the exhausted-quota lock
Since route and aggregation mode keep the ChatGPT login (#8431), the
route table writes requires_openai_auth = true whenever a login is on
disk, so making a third-party card the aggregation default no longer
keeps Codex from locking the send button to Luna Reserve once the
official 5-hour quota runs out.

The guide and the 4.6 manual pages now describe the method that still
works: switch to Direct, keep "Keep official login for direct switches"
off, switch to a third-party card and fully restart Codex; switch back
to Aggregation once the quota resets. The old method is marked as no
longer working.
