Bug Description
Model tiering failure burned my Fable 5 usage limit. I explicitly instructed
the orchestrator in my first task message to delegate subtasks to cheaper/faster
models. It ignored this and launched a multi-agent research workflow (~60 subagents)
where ALL subagents silently inherited the session model (Fable 5), because the
Workflow/Agent tools default to inheriting the orchestrator's model unless
overridden per-agent. ~15-20 Fable subagent calls burned on mechanical work
(web search, page fetching) before I caught it and forced a stop.

Suggestions: (1) when the session model is a limited premium model, subagent
fan-out should warn or default to a cheaper tier; (2) surface per-model token
spend during workflow runs so users see the burn early.
