Name the model on every dispatch

"Default" inherits the root session's model, so once the root moved to
Fable every Hands and steward ran on Fable against the skill's own
allocation. The operator noticed before Self did. Self names the tier on
every dispatch from now on.

- **Choose models by how critical the pass is, and name the model on every

over cuts that put the foundation at risk. Hands, search, probes and
stewards take the cheaper tier, named explicitly: "default" inherits the
root session's model, so a root running on the strong model silently
spends it on every Hands pass unless Self says otherwise. A cheaper Soul

- **A subtraction budget is pressure, not a metric.** Say so when you set it, so
Hands knows escalating a miss with an argument is allowed. Treat a suspiciously
clean hit as a sign that unrelated code was deleted to meet the number.

Ghostlight run; the Soul brief did not, and two consecutive Soul passes on
Cut 6b ended their turn with "waiting on the script" and had to be resumed
by Self before any finding arrived.
- **"Default model" means the root's model.** After the operator switched
the root session to Fable, every Hands and steward dispatched without an
explicit model inherited Fable, against the skill's own allocation. The
operator noticed. Self now names the model on every dispatch: the strong
model for Imagination and for Soul on foundation cuts, the default tier by
name for Hands, Eyes, probes and stewards.
