+## v4.14.1 — Keep fact-checker on Sonnet (2026-07-14)
+
+Patch release. Reverts one of the two agent model reassignments from v4.14.0: `fact-checker` goes back to `model: sonnet`. Claim verification is accuracy-sensitive and Haiku's recall on subtle claims did not justify the cost saving. `explorer-agent` (pure read/search) stays on `model: haiku`. No count change (44 agents, 108 skills, 1216 tests).

+### Changed
+- **`fact-checker` reverted to Sonnet** — `model: haiku → model: sonnet`. Quality over cost for claim verification / RAG-accuracy checks.

 ## v4.14.0 — Model refresh + effort-aware routing (2026-07-14)
 
 Minor release. Refreshes Claude model IDs to the current generation across the toolkit, teaches the routing skill to route on `effort` (not just model tier), and moves two pure-retrieval agents to Haiku. No skill/agent/hook count change (44 agents, 108 skills, 1216 tests).

-## What's New in v4.14.0
+## What's New in v4.14.1
 
-v4.14.0 refreshes Claude model IDs to the current generation and makes model routing effort-aware.
+v4.14.1 refreshes Claude model IDs to the current generation, makes model routing effort-aware, and tunes agent model tiers.
 
 - **Current model IDs**: `scripts/_common.py` now resolves `opus → claude-opus-4-8` and `sonnet → claude-sonnet-5` (the single source of truth generators emit); stale `claude-opus-4-7` samples across skills refreshed.
 - **Effort-aware routing**: `model-routing-patterns` gains an Effort section — tuning `output_config.effort` is the cheaper lever before swapping models, and it does not invalidate the prompt cache the way a mid-session model swap does.
 - **Fable 5 tier documented**: added to the routing table with pricing and a "not the default best model" caveat — for "strongest model", the target stays `claude-opus-4-8`.
-- **Cheaper retrieval agents**: `explorer-agent` and `fact-checker` (pure read/search) moved to `model: haiku`, closing the gap where the skill recommended Haiku workers but no agent used the tier.
+- **Agent tiers tuned**: `explorer-agent` (pure read/search) runs on `model: haiku`; `fact-checker` stays on `model: sonnet` — accuracy over cost for claim verification.
