Summary

Expose the existing per-child model override capability in the delegate_task tool schema. The internal _build_child_agent already accepts a model parameter (line 279: effective_model = model or parent_agent.model), but the tool schema doesn't expose it — making it impossible for the LLM to route different tasks to different models.

Problem

Currently, all subagents inherit the parent's model (or the global delegation.model config). There's no way to say "use a coding model for this task but a generalist for that task" within a single conversation.

The infrastructure exists but isn't wired to the tool schema.

Solution

3 changes in tools/delegate_tool.py:

1. Schema: Add model field to top-level tool properties
2. Batch schema: Add model field to per-task items
3. Wiring: Thread t.get("model") through to _build_child_agent with fallback to delegation config

Task-level model takes precedence over delegation config, which takes precedence over parent model.

Usage

# Route coding task to coding specialist
delegate_task(
    goal="Debug this function",
    model="modelstudio/qwen3-coder-plus",
    context="..."
)

# Batch with different models per task
delegate_task(
    tasks=[
        {"goal": "Write unit tests", "model": "modelstudio/qwen3-coder-plus"},
        {"goal": "Review docs", "model": "modelstudio/qwen3.5-plus"},
    ]
)

Backwards Compatible

• model is optional — defaults to parent behavior when omitted
• No config migration needed
• Existing delegation behavior unchanged when model is not specified
• All 64 existing delegate tests pass
