Beschreibung
### Feature request
Allow custom agent markdown frontmatter to accept an **array** of strings for the `model:` field, in addition to a single string.
### Motivation
VS Code chat modes already support `model:` as a list — it's used to present a model picker for the chat mode. This means the same agent definition file can't currently be shared cleanly between VS Code and Copilot CLI: the CLI rejects the file with:
`custom agent markdown frontmatter is malformed: model: Expected string, received array`
This forces plugin authors to either:
- Maintain two copies of every agent file (one for VS Code, one for CLI), or
- Pick one tool and accept that the agent won't load in the other.
### Proposed behavior
When `model:` is an array, the CLI uses the **first** entry as the default model for that agent (and ideally treats the rest as acceptable alternates the user can switch to with `/model` while invoking the agent). When `model:` is a string, behavior is unchanged.
### Alternatives considered
- Authors flatten `model:` to a single string — works in both, but loses the picker UX in VS Code.
- A local post-install patch script — fragile, breaks after every `plugin update`.
Accepting an array in the CLI parser is the only change that lets the same plugin work unmodified in both surfaces.

Rechercherichtung
Beginne damit, den custom-agent-Markdown-Frontmatter-Parser und die Validierung seines model-Felds zu finden. Überprüfe, dass das Verhalten für Strings unverändert bleibt, Arrays den ersten Eintrag als Standardwert verwenden und fehlerhafte Werte weiterhin fehlschlagen; füge Parser-Tests hinzu oder aktualisiere sie, falls vorhanden.
