  "description": "Tracked public defaults for Loop Studio. Every seat is passed explicitly on every call; account and CLI defaults are never reachable. The Settings panel writes local operator state to ~/.camus/studio/models.json instead of mutating this file. Per-run choices and CLAUDE_MODEL / CODEX_MODEL / CODEX_EFFORT / ROUND_CAP still override the standing decision. Opt-in open-weight backends belong in the local operator file (docs/MULTI-MODEL-SEATS.md has the shape).",
