Set or show which model runs the orchestrator and which runs the workers.

Raw request: `{{ARGS}}`

A role split only saves anything when the roles actually run on different models. Before this policy existed the allocator had nothing to read, so every worker inherited the orchestrator's frontier model and a five-worker fan-out billed five frontier runs to do work a cheap model finishes.

Read the request

• No arguments, or `show`/`status` → report the current policy and stop.
• `clear`/`reset` → remove the policy and stop.
• Otherwise the request is one or more `role=value` pairs.

`role` is `orchestrator` or `worker`. `value` is either a tier (`economy`, `balanced`, `frontier`) — read as a ceiling — or an exact model id from the live host inventory, read as a pin. An empty value drops that role back to inherited.

Apply it

Run the host command and report exactly what it prints:

hep-orch <role=value> [<role=value>...]

Do not edit `~/.agentlas/one/model-policy.json` by hand and do not export `AGENTLAS_MODEL_ALLOCATION_POLICY_JSON` on the user's behalf. The environment variable is the operator override and outranks this file; say so if it is set, because the policy the user just wrote will not be the one in force.

Which hosts can actually act on it

The policy is read on every host, but only a host that can run a worker as a separate invocation can put two different models to work at once.

• **Claude Code** spawns real subagents and takes a model per subagent, so an

orchestrator/worker split runs as written — this is the only host where the split is verified end to end today.

• **Codex, Gemini/Antigravity, Cursor, OpenCode** have no subagent of their own.

One model plays every role in sequence. The allocation receipt is still produced and the ceiling still applies to what that model may request, but a worker tier does not put a second, cheaper model on the machine.

Say which of the two the current host is when you report. A user who set `worker=economy` on a sequential host has a correct policy and no second model; letting that read as a cost split would be a lie the receipt does not tell.

What it changes

• `model.resolve_allocation` reads this policy before every role-split

invocation and clamps or pins that stage accordingly. A worker ceiling rejects a frontier request with `tier_clamped_by_cost_policy` — that is the policy working, not a failure to route.

• A missing worker policy inherits orchestrator; orchestrator never falls

through to worker.

• The Agentlas One status line shows the active split, so the user can see the

setting is in force instead of assuming it.

Report honestly

State the resulting policy in one line, and name the ceiling that will bite first. If the user pinned a model id, say plainly that a pin is only executable while that exact model is in the host's live inventory — a pin to a model this machine cannot reach leaves the stage unresolved rather than silently downgrading it.

Recommend a split only from what the tasks actually need: mechanical fan-out (collect, transform, verify a known rule) belongs on `economy`, while planning, judgement, and final synthesis stay high. Do not promise a cost saving you have not measured — the saving is real only when the workers were genuinely doing mechanical work.
