Research direction

Start by tracing the config-load hook and provider catalog refresh path in the TypeScript CLI. Determine how a pinned model is checked against the catalog, how a replacement is identified, and how the altimate-code.json escape hatch is represented. Done means startup or config load warns about removed models and points to a replacement without waiting for the first message send.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Found during v0.9.2 release review (End User + PM + CTO personas). Deferred because: needs a config-load hook design; the reactive ModelNotFoundError (with fuzzy suggestions) is acceptable for now.

When a config pins a model removed from a provider catalog (e.g. snowflake-cortex/claude-3-5-sonnet after the v0.9.2 refresh), the user only finds out at first message send. Surface a proactive warning at startup/config load pointing at the replacement and the altimate-code.json escape hatch.
