+- New installs default to the lead route `gpt-6-astra` / `xhigh` for planning,
+  review, and other lead work, and to `gpt-6-luna` / `max` for helpers and
+  ordinary workers on the global child route. Model diagnostics report these
+  routes without exposing credential fields. The coding-lead alternative is `gpt-6-sol` /
+  `xhigh`. Astra and Sol each support `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`,
+  and `ultra`; Sol defaults to `xhigh` when selected as lead. Luna supports
+  `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, and `max`, with no `ultra`. Existing GPT-5.6
+  choices remain selectable within their listed bounds: `gpt-5.6-sol` at
+  `high` or `xhigh`, `gpt-5.6-terra` at `high`, `xhigh`, or `max`, and `gpt-5.6-luna`
+  at `high` or `max`; general `gpt-5.6` offers `high`. The live model catalog
+  lists no retirement date for these GPT-5.6 values. Ordinary reinstall and
+  update preserve existing configured model and effort settings, while
+  `--reconfigure-model` is the explicit selection reset. An explicit GPT-5.6
+  lead reset applies the existing 372,000 context length and 0.9 compression
+  threshold; GPT-6 resets do not add either value when absent.
   Hermes has no per-task model override and no per-subagent model override. The
   named reviewer and `litwork-reviewer` routes are unavailable. Hermes also
   exposes no TUI route visibility surface. A configured route is not execution
-  proof; an execution receipt is required. A global child Luna `xhigh` route is
-  a forbidden pair and stops before installation, regardless of the lead model;
-  Luna below `high` effort is rejected without a silent fallback. Existing Astra
-  routes with a missing or unsupported effort stop before preservation, with
-  bytes and permissions unchanged. On

   Hermes 0.17.0 and 0.19.0, `delegation.max_concurrent_children: 20` is a hard per-batch
   limit; fresh or explicitly reconfigured managed settings keep delegation flat at depth 1,
   preserved nested settings make doctor fail, and diagnostics expose
   async batch slots plus the potential simultaneous-child ceiling. Normal delegation uses the OpenAI OAuth Responses runtime; 650K
   auto-compaction is unavailable because the host compression schema is

-  fresh Astra settings do not add `model.context_length` or compression

+  resets. Credential-risk or malformed config stays no-write with no backup
   and the installer directs model selection to `hermes model`.
   Direct mutation also requires exact 0.17.0 or 0.19.0 source markers for both the
   per-batch limit, global delegation route, and Responses route. A source hash is rechecked immediately
