feat(web): add session model selector

 The mux stream projects the latest log-backed title as a validated `session/title` control frame after each attached-session subscription baseline and immediately after the corresponding live raw title event. This projection does not add titles to `session.list`; cold sessions remain metadata-only there until opening or resuming attaches their logs.
 
+Session model routing is a session-domain contract. `session.history` returns the selected `modelTarget`, `session.models` returns that target with provider-grouped advisory model metadata and provider-local lookup failures, and `session.selectModel` replaces the target selected for the next prompt-assembly boundary. Catalog membership is not validation: a registered provider may accept an unlisted model, while an unregistered provider returns `model-unavailable`.
+
 ## Carrier layer (`/client` + root)
 
 `AbstractApiClient` holds every protocol invariant — rpcId minting, envelope wrap/unwrap, zod parsing, SSE frame decoding, unary timeout, microtask-batched envelope observation (`subscribeEnvelopes`) — while platform subclasses supply only the `doFetch` transport aspect. `InProcessApiClient` over `toFetchHandler(api)` is the isomorphic point: the full wire serialization/validation path with no network, used by `dsh -p` headless.

 Unary methods take the narrow `RpcRequest<P>` and echo `request.rpcId`; a prompt's rpcId rides `MessageSource` into the `user/message` event so clients can promote optimistic echoes. `history`/`prompt` on a cold session implicitly resume it, deduplicating concurrent calls through an in-flight table; `history` paginates backwards on message boundaries (never mid-message). The mux stream replays a `session/subscribed` baseline per attached session and every still-pending question with its original rpcId. Question responses, including blank per-item answers, are validated against the owning session and exact request before an atomic first-wins claim; answer, whole-request cancellation, owner abort, and provider disposal broadcast `question/resolved`. The host stream carries session lifecycle, running flips, and `agent/error` as the only outlet for live failures with no turn position.
 
+The Web front door installs the shared `installAgentLlmTarget` coupling for every created or resumed agent. A session starts from the latest logged `request/header` route when one exists, otherwise from the Host default. `session.models` discovers every registered provider concurrently, keeps successful groups when another provider fails, and inserts the current target as an unlisted row when its provider omits it. A selection changes the mutable session target immediately; prompt assembly snapshots it atomically with request routing, so a change during a running step first applies to the next assembled step.
+
 ## Model Experience
 
 Indirectly, through the non-blocking first-message title request owned by [`dsh-session-title-llm`](../../session-title/session-title-llm/README.md) when `sessionTitleLlm` is enabled, the provider/model defaults injected into created and resumed agents, the other model-facing plugins `bootHost` mounts, and the logged [workspace-instruction prefix](../../context/workspace-context/README.md#prompt-shape) when `workspaceContext` is enabled.
