dsh-tier-router — Tiered model routing for DeepSeek Harness

handles planning / architecture / review**, while a cheap tier (deepseek-v4-flash by default) handles day-to-day implementation, with per-tier fallback chains and task-intensity reasoning effort. Inspired by Claude Code's /advisor (consult a stronger model for hard decisions) and opusplan (strong model in plan mode, cheap model for execution), implemented on DeepSeek Harness through its official seams, with an escalation gate, failure auto-escalation, and subagent tiering on top.

sequenceDiagram
    participant U as User
    participant S as Session (main agent)
    participant A as Strong v4-pro
    participant C as Cheap v4-flash
    U->>S: /tier plan (enter plan mode)
    S->>S: write header -> strong
    S->>A: planning / architecture / design
    U->>S: approve plan, leave plan mode
    S->>S: write header -> cheap
    S->>C: routine implementation
    S->>A: tier_advisor (hard decisions) / tier_review (final review)
    Note over S,C: high-impact actions (rm -rf / credential files) are denied by the guard until the strong tier is selected
