 ## Model policy

-- Do not use:
-  - `openai/gpt-5.4-pro`
-  - `openai/gpt-5.4-mini`
-- Only change model policy if the user explicitly asks.
+- Normal live suite runs rely on QA Lab source- and auth-aware defaults.
+- Do not pass `--model`, `--alt-model`, or `--fast` by default. Omitted
+  `--fast` does not mean fast is disabled; fast behavior is source-owned.
+- For scenario-specific runs, the complete `execution.summary` is authoritative
+  and overrides generic default guidance, including when it requires other
+  flags. Add explicit provider/model pins only when
+  `execution.config.requiredProvider` or `requiredModel` requires them.

-- Preferred model spec syntax is `provider/model,thinking=<level>[,fast|,no-fast|,fast=<bool>]` for both `--model` and `--judge-model`.
+- With no model flags, character eval uses its current source-defined candidate,
+  judge, thinking, and fast defaults.
+- Repeat `--model provider/model,thinking=<level>[,fast|,no-fast|,fast=<bool>]`
+  or `--judge-model ...` only to replace the corresponding inventory explicitly.
 - Do not add new examples with separate `--model-thinking`; keep that flag as legacy compatibility only.
-- Defaults to candidate models `openai/gpt-5.4`, `openai/gpt-5.2`, `openai/gpt-5`, `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`, `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6`, `zai/glm-5.1`, `moonshot/kimi-k2.5`, and `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` when no `--model` is passed.
-- Candidate thinking defaults to `high`, with `xhigh` for OpenAI models that support it. Prefer inline `--model provider/model,thinking=<level>`; `--thinking <level>` and `--model-thinking <provider/model=level>` remain compatibility shims.
-- OpenAI candidate refs default to fast mode so priority processing is used where supported. Use inline `,fast`, `,no-fast`, or `,fast=false` for one model; use `--fast` only to force fast mode for every candidate.
-- Judges default to `openai/gpt-5.4,thinking=xhigh,fast` and `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6,thinking=high`.
 - Report includes judge ranking, run stats, durations, and full transcripts; do not include raw judge replies. Duration is benchmark context, not a grading signal.
 - Candidate and judge concurrency default to 16. Use `--concurrency <n>` and `--judge-concurrency <n>` to override when local gateways or provider limits need a gentler lane.
 - Scenario source is YAML-only under `qa/scenarios/`: use `index.yaml` and
