First §19.2 candidate settled after v1. The heavier per-RFC-model
topic subdivided into UX (this) and credential delegation + funder
role (still §19.2). New §6.6 carries the rule: an optional `models:`
frontmatter field on the meta-repo RFC entry; absent inherits the
operator universe, populated narrows the picker to the intersection
with provisioned providers, `[]` opts the RFC out of AI entirely.
The first resolved entry is the RFC default. §18's ENABLED_MODELS is
reframed as the operator universe.
Code: migration 009 adds nullable cached_rfcs.models_json (NULL ≠ []
is load-bearing); entry.py grows the optional field with absent-vs-
empty round-tripping in parse/serialize; new models_resolver module
holds the rule; api_branches replaces /api/models with the slug-aware
/api/rfcs/{slug}/models and threads the chat + reask paths through
the resolver; api_prs §10.2 uses the resolver and extends the stub
fallback to the opt-out case; frontend passes slug to listModels.
Tests 106/106 green (96 prior + 10 in test_per_rfc_models.py). No
behavioral change for entries without `models:` — operator universe
preserved as default.
