every new commander came up on whatever the owner last picked in a chat —
Fable, currently. that default is chosen for interactive work, and a
commander is the opposite: long-running, mostly repeating one settled job,
and started by a button rather than by somebody thinking about which model
they want.
COMMANDER_DEFAULT_MODEL, in both places, because the two ways of starting a
commander do not share code — the server's /commanders/new route and the
detail component's own first turn.
per-surface defaults belong in settings eventually. "commanders default to
Sonnet" is the decision; this is where it lives until there is a better
place for it.
