Settings reader computes a host model overlay

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.
