 - Added a PR gate marker guard so reopened unapproved PRs do not get duplicate
   intake comments, and clarified that PR reopening should happen after

+- Ollama `/model` completions no longer show hosted DeepSeek API model IDs.
+  The picker preserves the current or saved local Ollama tag, and users can

 - Documented the agent and sub-agent stewardship ethos so future automation
   preserves human issue intake, careful PR review, and contributor credit.
