I find myself often having to 'remind' the squad to not use claude-haiku or claude-sonnet, and to always use claude-opus - but no matter how often I make the request, I still observe that an agent will spin up one of these lesser models. Is there a way to more forcefully ensure that the preferred model is used? I'm using squad via copilot CLI.

    Can we get the options to upgrade to the latest models? Like I want to use Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 and GPT-5.4 in this order but now Claude Sonnet 4.5 is hardcoded to Squad..

    And p.s
    Does setting my Copilot model have any saying in what is used?

    Like here I have Claude Opus 4.6 set in Copilot but Squad is saying its using 4.5..

    What is being used?
