D-07 had been closed on CLAUDE.md alone. The same false claim lived on elsewhere:
- README.md's "Switch the planning model" said four commands default to opus.
- The same README section offered a sed recipe for `model: opus` frontmatter lines, which
0 of 7 command files have.
- commands/trekresearch.md said "the orchestrator runs on Opus".
Since v5.9.0 no command pins model:, so the orchestrator follows the session model.
- README: the section now says how it actually works. You pick the orchestrator's model with
the session model (`claude --model sonnet` or `/model`). Sub-agent models are resolved at
the spawn sites: brief phase_signals, then profile phase_models, then the agents/*.md pins
as fallback. `--profile economy` still moves the sub-agents to Sonnet.
- trekresearch Launch rules: "Use model: "opus" for all sub-agents" contradicted the same
file's own three-layer resolution, which v5.9.0 wired into the spawn sites and the file
documents in Phase 1 and Hard rules -> Cost. The rule now injects
`phase_signal_result.model` with agent frontmatter as the fallback, and says the
orchestrator follows the session model. Nothing changes under the default premium
profile: it still resolves to opus. The engine=swarm note now names the resolved-model
injection as the anchor, instead of the removed literal.
- Two doc-consistency pins were written first and failed before this change:
- no opus-orchestrator claim in README/CLAUDE.md/trekresearch, and no `^model: opus$`
recipe;
- the Launch rules name `phase_signal_result.model` and carry no blanket opus rule.
- Not touched: the follow-up agent in the default-off STORM phase still says model: "opus".
That is part of an experiment whose fate is an operator decision.
End-state gate D-07: open -> closed. Defects 3 -> 2 of 7 (D-03, D-04 remain, by design);
registry integrity intact. Suite 1081 (1079/0/2), run on a clean export of the index.
