Context

From ROADMAP.md (P2 - Backend: Make LLM model configurable).

llm.py hardcodes anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet. Switching to a different model requires a code change and a new image build.

What to do

  1. Add a MODEL environment variable to config.py with a default of anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet.
  2. Update llm.py to read the model name from config rather than using a literal string.
  3. Add MODEL to docker-compose.yml as a commented example and to DEPLOYMENT.md.

Acceptance criteria

  • Setting MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4 routes LLM calls to that model without any code changes.
  • Omitting MODEL keeps the existing claude-3.5-sonnet default.
  • No hardcoded model strings remain in llm.py.
