DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Settings reader computes a host model overlay

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Settings

Settings can inherit a model choice from a managing host, though that path only exists when one is configured.

A host-managed model overlay is read as a settings source but is only reachable when a host provider is configured, otherwise unresolved.

What

The parent-slice settings reader also derives a model overlay from the host-managed provider, and reports it as a source of truth.

Details
  • The source-of-truth lookup returns "parent" when either the parent slice or the hostModelOverlay is present.
  • Only reachable when a host-managed provider is configured; state otherwise unresolved.
Evidence

hostModelOverlay

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
