Instead of a hardcoded model name (which forces LM Studio to JIT-swap your loaded
model out — and fails when a big model already fills memory), resolve the model
at request time: an explicit env override wins, else ask the server which model
is *loaded* (LM Studio's native /api/v0/models), else the first non-embedding
model, else a default. Reginald now uses whatever you load, no config churn.
- main/model.ts: resolveLoadedModel() drives both model:status and model:chat;
COMMITEA_MODEL_SMALL still overrides.
- useChat exposes the resolved model id; the panel header shows it
(google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-qat → "gemma-4-26b-a4b · local").
- live-reginald e2e: header assertion relaxed to the loaded model; timeouts
raised for a slow big local model (~2 calls/turn + a reconcile).
Verified: 14 fixture e2e green; live e2e drives the app against the loaded
gemma-4-26b — "What now?" → "You should work on #2 … on the critical path,
unblocks #33 and #4" (the real scheduler pick), header shows the live model.
