refactor: replace LLMProvider classmethods with from_env() and document missing config fields (#816)
CI failures are unrelated to this PR:
- test_mental_models_dimension_change_empty_table: database OID error (infrastructure flake)
- test_reflect_searches_mental_models_when_available: LLM-dependent assertion (flaky)
