feat(orchestrate): pin orchestration brain to Opus via skill model field

[produtoramaxvision]

Summary

Pin the orchestration brain to Opus regardless of session model by adding model: opus to the orchestrate skill frontmatter (1 line).

When the session runs on Sonnet, the orchestration reasoning (routing, judging, approval gates, dispatch decisions) now always runs on Opus — across both activation surfaces (/maxvision:orchestrate slash command and when_to_use auto-activation).

Why this, not a subagent

The original idea was to convert the skill into a subagent to pin the model. That breaks the core function: subagents cannot spawn subagents (no-nesting rule), and the orchestrate flow's Phase 8 dispatches specialist subagents. Keeping it a main-thread skill with model: opus achieves the model pin while preserving dispatch.

Scope

• Pinned to Opus: the main-thread orchestrator brain only.
• Unaffected: dispatched specialists — analyze-candidates still selects model per task (sonnet/haiku/opus). Per-task cost optimization is preserved.

Changes

File	Change
skills/orchestrate/SKILL.md	+ model: opus in frontmatter

No version bump (stays 0.1.2). test_orchestrate_anti_skip_wiring passes (3/3).

A whisker-twitch, a model declared,
Opus now leads where choices are shared,
One line of skill, orchestration refined—
The rabbit's touch keeps flows aligned! 🐰✨
