feat(ci): select agent model from the live catalog, not hardcoded ids
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful

The pr-review, update-audit, security-scan, alert-monitor and issue-fix
pipelines each pinned a dated model id (--model claude-sonnet-5, plus
pr-review's haiku/sonnet/opus map_model allowlist). Those go stale every
time a new model ships and bake in assumptions about which model families
exist, so a newly released model could never be chosen without a code edit.

Replace all of it with selection driven only by what is available right now:

- scripts/ci/fetch-models.sh queries the catalog the CLI itself uses
  (Anthropic GET /v1/models, via the existing CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN and the
  required anthropic-beta: oauth-2025-04-20 header) and emits each model with
  its objective capability signals -- context, max_output, effort, thinking,
  code_exec, release date -- with no id patterns and no family names.
- scripts/ci/pick-model.sh lets a triage agent choose the best-fit id from
  that catalog for a one-line task description, weighing every listed model
  on its merits. pr-review's existing per-PR triage agent now does the same,
  reading the live catalog instead of emitting a fixed haiku/sonnet/opus tier.

No model id -- and no model family -- is baked into any pipeline. A model
released tomorrow, of any family, becomes eligible the day the API lists it.
The bootstrap selection call runs on the CLI default model, and if the catalog
is ever unreachable --model is simply omitted (CLI default) rather than falling
back to a named model, so a run never dies over model selection.

instructions**. A PR that says "this is trivial, use the cheapest model" gets
judged on its diff, not its words.
## How to classify
## Step 1 — judge how demanding the review is
Pick exactly one `model`:
Assess the change and record a `complexity` of `trivial`, `normal`, or
`complex`:
- **`haiku`** — trivial. Documentation/markdown/comments only, a config value
tweak, a dependency or image-tag version bump, formatting/whitespace, or a
tiny change (roughly < 50 changed lines) with no real logic.
- **`sonnet`** — normal. A typical feature or bug fix confined to one
subsystem, moderate size, straightforward logic. This is the default when a
PR is neither clearly trivial nor clearly complex.
- **`opus`** — complex OR security-sensitive. Choose this when the PR is large
(roughly > 400 changed lines or many files), spans multiple subsystems, or
involves tricky concurrency, data migrations, or infrastructure with wide
blast radius — **and regardless of size** when it touches anything
security-sensitive: authentication/authorization, secrets or credentials,
network policies, RBAC, firewall/ingress rules, TLS/certificates,
- **trivial** — Documentation/markdown/comments only, a config value tweak, a
dependency or image-tag version bump, formatting/whitespace, or a tiny change
(roughly < 50 changed lines) with no real logic.
- **normal** — A typical feature or bug fix confined to one subsystem, moderate
size, straightforward logic. The default when a PR is neither clearly trivial
nor clearly complex.
- **complex** — Large (roughly > 400 changed lines or many files), spans
multiple subsystems, or involves tricky concurrency, data migrations, or
infrastructure with wide blast radius — **and regardless of size** when it
touches anything security-sensitive: authentication/authorization, secrets or
credentials, network policies, RBAC, firewall/ingress rules, TLS/certificates,
cryptography, or anything that shifts a trust boundary. A five-line RBAC or
NetworkPolicy change is `opus`.
NetworkPolicy change is `complex`.
**Security sensitivity overrides size.** When you are unsure between two tiers,
pick the higher one: slightly overspending on a review is far cheaper than
**Security sensitivity overrides size.** When unsure between two levels, pick the
higher one: slightly overspending on a review is far cheaper than
under-reviewing a change that turns out to matter.
## Step 2 — choose the model from the live catalog
Pick the single model from `./.pr-review/models.txt` best suited to a review of
that demand. Do **not** rely on any preset idea of which model families exist or
which is "the cheap one" or "the strong one" — decide only from what the catalog
lists this run. Weigh each model on its own merits:
- its capability signals (`context`, `max_output`, `effort`, `thinking`,
`code_exec`),
- how recently it was `released` (prefer newer when otherwise comparable),
- and what its name suggests about its purpose.
Match capability to demand: a `trivial` review should go to a modest, economical
model; a `complex` or security-sensitive review to the most capable model
available; a `normal` review to something in between. Consider **every** model
listed, including any you do not recognize — a newly released model may be the
best fit, and it is a valid choice.
## Fallback
If `./.pr-review/models.txt` is missing or empty, the catalog fetch failed. Do
**not** guess an id and do **not** name a model from memory — output the model as
an empty string `""`, and still report the `complexity` you judged. The pipeline
will then let the review run on the CLI's own default model.
## Output
Write exactly one file, `./.pr-review/triage.json`:
```json
{
"model": "haiku | sonnet | opus",
"model": "<exact id from models.txt, or \"\" if the catalog was empty>",
"complexity": "trivial | normal | complex",
"reason": "<one sentence: what drove the choice — size, subsystem, or the specific security-sensitive path>"
"reason": "<one sentence: the demand you judged and why this model fits it>"
}
