+   exists to pick a model for a `tendril-generator` subagent. THREE
+   states, not two (run 7 measured the third): (a) the agent is not
+   in your registry / this session cannot spawn subagents — DO NOT
+   ask; build it yourself, declare your own model honestly, and tell
+   the user in one line ("building with <model> — this session can't

+   but a host or session policy forbids spawning without the user
+   requesting it — this is NOT state (a): the delegation question
+   ITSELF is how the user requests it, so ask the recording
+   delegation question at plan time and the model question at brief
+   time; a yes to either makes the spawn user-requested.
+   Delegation possibility CHANGES within a session — re-evaluate at
+   EVERY brief, not once (measured, run 6: the user authorized
+   subagents after the first component, and the session kept silently
+   building in-context for two more components; recorders working IS
+   proof generators can spawn). If you skipped the question earlier
+   because delegation was impossible and it has become possible, ask
+   it now — and if a chosen model's delegation later fails, never
+   silently downgrade: re-ask or disclose in one line.
    Asking a question whose answer cannot take effect is worse than
    not asking. When you CAN delegate: offer the models THIS host
    actually provides, by their real names — a Codex host offers
