 - [x] W1-B2 wiring (contract `2026-10-08-model-router-wiring-1835`, 2026-10-09): tracked symlink `skills/model-router` → `../mods/model-router` loads as `model-router@skills-dir` (fresh-process `claude plugin list --json` proves it), `.gitignore` `mods/*/tsconfig.json`, `lib/tests/mods.test.sh` (4 checks, capability probe, bounded, SKIP), doctor `── Mods ──` fail-soft, CLAUDE.md `## mods/`. Plan r2 from 3 lenses (5 MAJOR), feater DONE, gap round (4b label + unbounded probe), verifier CONFORME 8/8, security PASS
 - [ ] W1-B2 residuals (accepted): `claude plugin <unknown> --help` returns 0 → the suite's capability probe can pass on a CLI without `plugin test` and then FAIL instead of SKIP (fail-closed; fix = grep the probe output for the test usage line); doctor `claude plugin list --json` unbounded; doctor `echo -e` helpers interpolate `$_mod` (tracked folder names only); fallback timeout guard orphans grandchildren (only without coreutils timeout); `update-all.sh` runs `claude plugin update` over `@skills-dir` → one recurring warn (needs an update-all edit)
 - [x] W1 close-out (2026-10-09): doc-sync opus audit SIGNIFICANT → user go all 10 → patched (README effort routing + Explore row + /route, USAGE, ARCHITECTURE mods/, CHANGELOG Unreleased) b22f894; hot-reload link removed from `~/.claude/dev-mods/<session>/`; BDR-115 amended (a6e2003). Pending user: `/reload-plugins` in this session (new sessions load the skills-dir copy by themselves); merge decision on feature/model-router-mod (`gitflow finish`, human signal)
-- [ ] W1-C adaptive tiers (user 2026-10-09: "un système logique et optimisé", no /route typed, works on a haiku session, falls back when fable has no credit): contract `2026-10-09-model-router-tiers-1237`, plan same slug. Phases name absolute tiers (best/big/work/cheap), availability breaker (turn error/refusal + engine auto switch, 15 min cooldown), fallback chain fable→opus→sonnet→haiku, main upgrade on / downgrade gated, prompt default rules (plan/reflect keywords FR+EN) + dispatch push/pop + optional classifier
+- [x] W1-C adaptive tiers (user 2026-10-09, contract `2026-10-09-model-router-tiers-1237`, plan r4 after 3 lenses + 2 confirmations: 6 BLOCKER + 29 MAJOR closed by named changes): phases name absolute tiers (best fable>opus>sonnet · big opus>fable>sonnet · work sonnet>opus · cheap haiku>sonnet); breaker fed by `classic.StopFailure` kinds rate_limit|overloaded|billing_error|model_not_found + `PostModelSwitch` auto (episode backoff 15→300 min, `/model` clears, `/clear` keeps, `/route reload` clears); fallback chain fable→opus→sonnet→haiku; main UPGRADE by default under `upgradeMaxTokens` 200k (fails closed on unknown usage), DOWNGRADE gated by `mainModelSwitch`; sticky `turnModel` per turn; derived `orchestrate` on background dispatches; prompt default rules (plan/reflect FR+EN, Unicode guards, skipped on `/…`, floor match, mid-turn). 58 tests; verifier CONFORME then 3 gap/hardening rounds; security PASS
+- [ ] W1-C accepted-by-design (security 2026-10-09, MEDIUM, not coded around): (1) the model itself can raise the main loop to fable for the rest of a turn through the `route` tool (plan/reflect/escalate/judge) or a background dispatch (derived orchestrate = best tier) — bounded by the turn and `upgradeMaxTokens`, no sticky route is model-callable; (2) `ultrathink` and the default keyword rules now mean "best tier" (fable) at the phase's effort, so an incidental keyword in a pasted composer prompt costs a fable turn (origin composer only). Residuals: `PostModelSwitch` `auto` covers "other programmatic change" (a healthy model could be marked 15 min); strikes never decay inside a session; a `[1m]` variant's `model_not_found` marks the base model until reload; a `models` alias added by the override without a `fallback` key stays unranked (`withEveryAlias` not applied to the default chain) so `leaveDown` skips the upgrade gates for it; `canonical` prefix match has no segment boundary (`claude-sonnet-5-50` would map to sonnet); classifier deferred to W2
+- [ ] W1-C live verification (after `/reload-plugins`, R16/T8): StopFailure vs turn.complete order; `PostModelSwitch` on a rewritten-request fallback and its `from_model`; whether a router rewrite raises `auto`; `[1m]` carry validity on opus; `$.session.model()` string form; the derived orchestrate on a real background dispatch
 - [ ] W2 migration (after wave 1 proven in daily use): 15 skills `Skill(effort-*)` → `route` tool calls; remove `skills/effort-*`, `lib/effort-pins.txt/.sh`, install/update steps, `effort:` frontmatter on skills and agents; repo agents into the mod's `agents` table (verify the spawn/first-step ordering first); `lib/model-gate.md` + `lib/model-check.sh` → mod rule; census tests repointed; `lib/effort-shift.md` rewritten; docs
 - [ ] W2 migration: 15 skills off `Skill(effort-*)`, remove shifters + effort-pins + model-gate, census repointed, docs
 - [ ] W3 optional: step heuristics, haiku classifier, quota-aware downgrade, A/B
