The routing decision is about reasoning capacity, not cost or provider.

Fast (koala/qwen35-9b-fast) — high pass rate, speed wins
Thinking (iguana/gemma4-26b) — low pass rate, depth needed

Removes the implicit Anthropic dependency from the routing pod — both models go through LiteLLM. Defaults baked in so no SOPS secret update is needed to get correct behaviour out of the box.

Renamed:

HYPERGUILD_LOCAL_MODEL → HYPERGUILD_FAST_MODEL
HYPERGUILD_CLAUDE_MODEL → HYPERGUILD_THINKING_MODEL
Router.LocalModel → Router.FastModel
Router.ClaudeModel → Router.ThinkingModel
log decision claude_fallback → thinking_fallback

The routing decision is about reasoning capacity, not cost or provider.
Fast model (koala/qwen35-9b-fast) handles high-pass-rate calls; thinking
model (iguana/gemma4-26b) handles low-pass-rate calls. Removes the
implicit Anthropic dependency from the routing pod — both models go
through LiteLLM.

Renames: HYPERGUILD_LOCAL_MODEL → HYPERGUILD_FAST_MODEL,
HYPERGUILD_CLAUDE_MODEL → HYPERGUILD_THINKING_MODEL,
Router.LocalModel → FastModel, Router.ClaudeModel → ThinkingModel,
log decision "claude_fallback" → "thinking_fallback".
