Codifies the small-model-pipeline tiering (per project_small_model_pipeline_vision.md)
in lakehouse.toml [models] section. Tier names map to actual model
IDs; bumping a model means editing one line, not hunting through code.
Tier philosophy:
- local_* : on-box Ollama. Inner-loop hot path. Repeated calls.
- cloud_* : Ollama Cloud (Pro plan). Larger context, fail-up tier.
- frontier_* : OpenRouter / OpenCode. Rate-limited, billed per call.
weak_models is the codified "local-hot-path eligible" list — phase 2
will migrate matrix.downgrade to read it instead of hardcoding.
Defaults reflect 2026-04-29 architecture: qwen3.5:latest as local
(stronger than qwen2.5, same JSON-clean property), kimi-k2.6 as cloud
judge (kimi-k2:1t still upstream-broken), opus-4-7 + kimi-k2-0905 as
frontier review/arch via OpenRouter, opencode/claude-opus-4-7 as
frontier_free leveraging the OpenCode subscription.
3 new tests in internal/shared/config_test.go:
- TestDefaultConfig_ModelsTier — locks tier defaults
- TestModelsConfig_IsWeak — weak-bypass list
- TestLoadConfig_ModelsTOMLRoundTrip — override semantics
just verify PASS (g2 had one flake on first run — Ollama transfer
truncation; clean on retry, unrelated to this change).
