Add --model flag so agents can self-report their model - #8
Merged
Conversation
agent_llm_model was effectively always absent: no agent framework exports its active model to subshells, so env detection rarely finds one. Let callers self-report, and address AI agents directly in the help text — the one place they reliably read.

Summary
agent_llm_modelattribution was effectively always absent: agent frameworks don't export the active model to subshells, so env detection (ANTHROPIC_MODELetc.) rarely finds anything. The model name lives only in the agent's own context — self-reporting is the only reliable channel.--model <name>flag, sent asagent_llm_model; overrides env detection, still suppressed by--no-agent-metadata.--helpcloses with a note addressed to AI agents suggesting--goaland--model, with a copyable example — agents read help before running unfamiliar CLIs, so this is the conversion point.Test plan
