Roadmap item: P2 Backend — configurable LLM model

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

What to do

  1. Add a MODEL (or LLM_MODEL) environment variable to config.py with the current model as the default.
  2. In llm.py, read the model name from the config rather than the hardcoded string.
  3. Add MODEL to .env.example with a comment explaining accepted values.

Acceptance criteria

  • Setting MODEL=openai/gpt-4o causes the LLM client to use that model string.
  • The default value is anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet for backwards compatibility.
  • No hardcoded model string remains in llm.py.
## Context Roadmap item: P2 Backend — configurable LLM model `llm.py` hardcodes `anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet`. Switching models currently requires a code change and image rebuild. ## What to do 1. Add a `MODEL` (or `LLM_MODEL`) environment variable to `config.py` with the current model as the default. 2. In `llm.py`, read the model name from the config rather than the hardcoded string. 3. Add `MODEL` to `.env.example` with a comment explaining accepted values. ## Acceptance criteria - Setting `MODEL=openai/gpt-4o` causes the LLM client to use that model string. - The default value is `anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet` for backwards compatibility. - No hardcoded model string remains in `llm.py`.

Triage: P2 Backend - Small complexity. Assigned to @developer.
Delegation: Add MODEL/LLM_MODEL env var to config.py, update llm.py to read from it instead of hardcoding anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet.
