 # Changelog
 
+## 0.2.2
+
+- An app pins the model its terminal agents run on: `chat: { provider: 'tmux', agent, model }` for normal-mode chat and `agents.builderModel` for the builder. The pin rides the launch args (`-m` for Codex, `--model` for Claude Code) and is replayed on resume.
+
 ## 0.2.1
 
 - `./golem` runs on a fresh `pnpm install`: the installed entry resolves `tsx` from golem-kit's own tree instead of the app's `node_modules/.bin`.

 - `builder` is the default choice in build mode. A person's own pick in the browser still wins and is remembered.
+- `builderModel` pins the builder CLI's model, in that CLI's own spelling (`--model` for Claude Code, `-m` for Codex). A terminal chat pins its own the same way: `chat: { provider: 'tmux', agent: 'codex', model: 'gpt-6-luna' }`. Both survive a resume. Left out, each CLI picks its default.
 - `ordinary` turns on the **Start a chat** button. Leave it out and there is no ordinary chat.
 - `ordinary.model` defaults to `claude-opus-5`.
 - `golem.config.ts` is bundled into the browser. Keep the API key in `.env.local` or the server environment, never in this file.

 Code CLI — the runtime build mode already depends on, and the one that asks for no API key; the prompt
 goes in on stdin and the call runs in a temporary directory, so neither `ps` nor the app's folder
 is part of it. When no model can answer — the runtime is missing, times out, or gives nothing the
