Context

llm.py hardcodes anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet. Switching models requires a code change and redeployment.

Work

  • Read a MODEL environment variable in llm.py (or config.py).
  • Default to anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet when the variable is unset.
  • Validate that the value is non-empty.
  • Document the variable in .env.example.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Setting MODEL=openai/gpt-4o causes that model identifier to be sent to OpenRouter.
  • Unsetting MODEL uses the existing default without errors.
  • A unit test verifies that the config value is read from the environment.

Already implemented. config.py reads MODEL env var with default 'anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet'. Closing.
