Description
### Describe the bug
I don't understand the reason for using Claude Opus 4.6, which costs 3 premium requests for some tasks, as `/review`, if it always delegates the whole work to Claude Sonnet 4.5, which costs 1 premium request.
So I'm always paying 3 requests for a poorer model like Claude Sonnet 4.5 in such cases.
### Affected version
1.0.20
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Use `/review` when model Claude Opus 4.6 (high) is selected.
2. At the end, check the `/session info`
3. The whole work was done by the x1 model.
### Expected behavior
I'm expecting the selected model to be working on the review, because I'm expecting better results from it.
### Additional context
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the behavior by selecting Claude Opus 4.6 (high), running /review, and checking /session info. Trace the /review command and model-delegation path to determine why the selected model is replaced; done when the selected model performs the review and session information reflects that model.
