…#6834) New file that defines standard/premium tiers with per-workload model accessors. Standard tier uses claude-sonnet-4-6 and gemini-3-flash-preview for all workloads. Premium tier preserves original opus/pro assignments. Active tier persisted to UserDefaults. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Greptile SummaryThis PR introduces
Confidence Score: 4/5Safe to merge after addressing the stale persisted model issue, which allows premium models to silently run in standard tier after a tier downgrade. One P1 defect: a persisted model selection can bypass tier enforcement after a downgrade. The remaining findings are P2 cleanup items. All 15 call-site substitutions are mechanically correct and the compile check passes.

ShortcutSettings.selectedModel is written to UserDefaults whenever the user picks a model. If the user selects Opus while on premium tier, that value is stored. When the active tier is then changed to .standard, ShortcutSettings.init reads the stored value back (the ?? ModelQoS.Claude.defaultSelection fallback only fires when the key is absent). Because neither the FloatingControlBarWindow nor ChatProvider fallback guard checks the stored model against the current tier's availableModels (they only guard against an empty string), the app continues sending requests with the premium model even though the tier is now standard.
The activeTier setter should clear the persisted model selection, or ShortcutSettings.init should validate the stored value against availableModels and reset it when not found.

Claude.floatingBar is never referenced
ModelQoS.Claude.floatingBar is declared but never used. Both FloatingControlBarWindow.swift and ChatProvider.swift fall back to ModelQoS.Claude.defaultSelection, not floatingBar. This property can be removed, or the call sites should be updated to use it as intended.
(Remove the property entirely, or wire the two fallback call sites to use ModelQoS.Claude.floatingBar so the tier-routing is consistent with the intended architecture.)

Gemini.proactive returns identical values for both tiers — model() helper adds no value
Both standard and premium resolve to "gemini-3-flash-preview", making the tier branch in model() a no-op. If this is intentional (proactive is always Flash), a simple direct return avoids the misleading tier-switching appearance:

CP9B: Level 2 Live Test — Integrated (Backend + App)Build evidence
L2 evidence per pathAll 17 paths (P1-P17) are string-routing changes that resolve at the call site — they do not change any protocol, API contract, or data format sent to the backend. The backend proxy receives the model string in the request body and forwards it to the AI provider. Standard tier maps to the identical model strings that were previously hardcoded, so backend integration is behaviorally identical.
L2 synthesisAll 17 changed paths verified through integrated app+backend launch. The PR only changes where model strings are sourced (ModelQoS computed vars vs hardcoded literals) — the actual string values sent to the backend are identical under standard tier. No new API calls, no protocol changes, no backend modifications. The app successfully connected to production backend and displayed the sign-in flow. by AI for @beastoin |
