 When dispatching subagent work via the Task tool, include the `model` parameter from the target agent's YAML `model:` field:
 
 - Agent YAMLs at `departments/*/agents/*.yaml` have `model: opus | sonnet | haiku`
-- Quality Gate dispatch (Marta/Eduardo/Francisca) ALWAYS uses `model: opus` — NON-NEGOTIABLE
+- Quality Gate dispatch model: constitution `quality_gate.model_policy` (single source — best-available via Model Fabric; veto is model-independent)
 - Default to `sonnet` if the agent YAML has no `model` field
 - Mechanical tasks (commit messages, routing, keyword extraction) use `model: haiku`
