fix(agents): no agent is pinned below the high floor
Operator rule (2026-10-05): standard is Opus 5.5 at reasoning effort High. Four retrieval agents (architecture-mapper, dependency-tracer, git-historian, task-finder) pinned effort: medium in frontmatter, which overrides the session level, so every /trekplan exploration ran part of its swarm below the floor. They came from fdd3ad8 on the premise that unpinned agents inherit high; e4e37f9 corrected that (unpinned inherits the session; Opus 5.5 defaults to medium), so the reason for medium was already gone. All four now pin high; the other agents keep following the session (operator's choice). docs/profiles.md (one bullet for the eight pinned agents), CLAUDE.md and README.md updated; the model-default sentence stays. Dated decision records and CHANGELOG untouched.

Red: 4 of 5 new tests fail on the pre-fix files - effort floor over all agents (offenders: the four), the four pin exactly high, no live doc says retrieval runs at medium (hits docs/profiles.md:76, CLAUDE.md:85, README.md:806), profiles.md names the four as high. Known-positive control green on arrival.
Verify 153/153 (agent-frontmatter, doc-consistency). SC9 probe: npm test green under a scratch HOME with CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA empty, nothing under its plugin data dir. Suite 1393 (1391/0/2).

The change is repo-true, not installed-true, until a release.

Voyage order 20261005T104513Z-1250514346, plan step 5/5.

// Pin the agent-frontmatter contract from Steps 1-3 of plan-v2:
// every agents/*.md MUST declare:
// - model: (one of opus | sonnet | haiku)
// - tools: (allowlist) OR disallowedTools: (denylist), at least one
// Orchestrator agents (planning/research/review) MUST be model: opus and
// MUST include the `Agent` tool in their tools allowlist (they spawn the swarm).
//
// When this test fails, fix the agent file — do NOT relax the assertion to
// hide drift. The contract is what /trek* commands rely on for
// disciplined model selection + tool scoping.
