Subagent view shows parent session's model in status bar, not the subagent's actual model

Bug: When viewing a subagent's transcript (e.g. @audit-e2e), the status bar at the bottom shows the model of the main session that spawned it (e.g. "Fable 5"), not the model the subagent actually ran on. I confirmed this by asking main directly "what model did the subagent run on?" — it answered the subagent ran on Opus 5, while the status bar in that subagent's own view was still showing Fable 5 (main's model). This is misleading: the UI implies the subagent ran on the displayed model when it didn't.

Feature request: Related — the subagent list view (panel showing running agents like main, audit-e2e, with repo, duration, token count) doesn't show which model each subagent is running on at all. This matters because model choice directly affects expected token usage and output quality — right now there's no way to see it without asking main or digging elsewhere. Suggested fix:

  1. Show the model name inline next to each subagent row, and
  2. Fix the status bar in the subagent detail view to reflect that subagent's real model, not the parent session's.
