The agent detail panel shows the model and effort an agent runs on with
where each comes from, plus the swarm's subagent model list. An edit
dialog sets the swarm value (PUT) and a clear action removes it (DELETE).
Reads the configured/effective view, and shows the stored values alone
until an agent has reported what it runs on.
`GET /api/agents/{name}/inference` answered `"configured": {}` both for
an agent with no key in `agent-inference` and for a stored value with no
fields, so a reader could not tell "the swarm sets nothing" from "a
setting with every field unset". It now reads the key as
`Option<AgentInference>`: an absent or deleted key is `null`, a stored
`{}` stays `{}`. The shared `schedules::read` helper is unchanged.
`swarmctl agent inference get` prints "no swarm setting; the agent runs
on its own model and effort" for `null`; `set` merges into an empty
value in that case, as before.
The agent itself still treats no key and `{}` the same.

`check_model` accepted a value like `--dangerously-skip-permissions`,
and the stored model ends up in the agent's `claude` argv. A PUT whose
`model`, or any `subagent_models` entry (same validator), starts with
`-` is now a 400 with the same problem+json shape as the other model
checks. A dash inside a name (`claude-opus-4-8`) is still accepted.

The header on `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>` went out only when a bus event
changed it, and the core subject keeps nothing for a late subscriber. An
idle agent therefore said nothing to a reader that attached after its
last change: swarm-controller after a restart showed `effective: null`
for that agent until its next turn, which can be hours.
The publish loop now also wakes every 60 s and re-sends the current
header through the same `publish` path (clearing the dedup state first).
Transitions still go out as they happen. Same subject, same grant.
An agent whose queue connection is down now logs `swarm agent state:
publish skipped` once a minute even while idle, so the
`hh-swarm-agent-state-publish-skipped` alert also fires for idle
disconnected agents, not only busy ones.
Refs #5034
Each agent now reports the model and effort it runs on, and where each
comes from (`swarm`, `agent_nix`, `local_file` or `default`), in its
turn-state header on `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>`: `effort`,
`model_source` and `effort_source` join `model`. The shared
`swarm_queue_client::agent_inference::{Effective, Source}` types spell
those fields for both ends.
The Bus keeps a source next to the model and effort. `Bus::new` takes it
from the local fallback chain (`harness_state::local_model` /
`local_effort`, which now return the source with the value), a `/model`
or `/effort` pick sets `local_file`, and the swarm poller sets `swarm`
or, on a clear, the local chain's source. A swarm value equal to the one
the agent already runs is now applied once, so the source moves to
`swarm` and the header is republished; before, `next()` skipped it as
unchanged.
swarm-controller subscribes to every agent's header with the reader
grant it already holds for the state relay, and keeps the latest
inference fields per agent in memory (`inference::Reported`).
`GET /api/agents/{name}/inference` now answers
`{configured, effective}`, `effective` being `null` until the agent's
first header with these fields since the controller started.
`swarmctl agent inference get` prints both; `set` reads `configured`.
Refs #5034
A `start` or `continue` naming a `model` now reads this agent's key in the
`agent-inference` bucket and, when `subagent_models` is set, checks the
model against that list instead of HIVE_AVAILABLE_MODELS (agent.nix
`availableModels`). An unset field, an absent key or an absent bucket
keeps today's check. A read that fails or takes over 2 s falls back to
HIVE_AVAILABLE_MODELS with a warning, so a subagent start never waits on
the queue. A call without a `model` is not checked and does not read.
The read uses the agent's own queue credential through swarm_term's
connect, and the one direct-get subject the agent is granted in that
bucket. The refusal names the list and that it came from the swarm.
Refs #5034 (S5)
swarm-controller keeps each agent's inference settings in a new
`agent-inference` KV bucket, one key per agent, and is its only writer
(`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/agents/{name}/inference`; `swarmctl agent
inference get|set|clear`). Every field is optional. Each agent reads its
own key every 10 s through a direct-get grant on that key alone, and a
set `model` or `effort` replaces the Bus value, so the next turn runs on
it and the badge follows.
The swarm value is applied without persisting it: `Bus::set_model` and
`set_effort` are split into a persisting setter and a non-persisting
`apply_*`, and the poller uses the latter. Otherwise the swarm value
would overwrite `hyperhive-model`/`hyperhive-effort`, and clearing it, or
a restart, would no longer find the agent's own value. An unset field
changes nothing; a field cleared after being applied goes back to the
local value (`harness_state::local_model`/`local_effort`, the same
resolution `Bus::new` uses), read again at the clear.
`subagent_models` is validated, stored and shown by `get`; no agent
applies it yet.
