Merge origin/main into feat/show-reasoning

Resolves conflicts after main landed the state-machine turn refactor
and the test_runner.py 9-file split:

- nanobot/agent/loop.py: take main's `_state_build`/`_persist_user_message_early`
  flow; restore the `reasoning: bool` parameter on `_build_bus_progress_callback`
  so the loop hook can mark progress as reasoning-channel without coupling to
  the answer stream.
- nanobot/cli/stream.py: keep main's configurable `bot_name`/`bot_icon` header
  while preserving the PR's `transient=True` Live + `self._console` routing
  + `_renderable()` final-render path that fixed TUI duplication.
- tests/agent/test_runner.py was deleted on main and split into 9 focused
  files; relocated all 6 reasoning tests into a new `test_runner_reasoning.py`
  matching the new layout, deduplicated the per-test `ReasoningHook` boilerplate
  through a shared `_RecordingHook` helper.

+## Modifying CI Workflows
+
+If your PR touches `.github/workflows/`, please keep the CI within
+GitHub Actions' free tier:
+
+- Use only standard GitHub-hosted runners (`ubuntu-latest`, `windows-latest`)
+- Avoid macOS runners, larger runners (`*-cores`, `*-xlarge`, `*-gpu`),
+  and self-hosted runners
+- Avoid uploading large artifacts or using long retention
+- Avoid paid Marketplace actions
+
+If your change genuinely needs to step outside this, please call it out
+explicitly in the PR description so it can be discussed before merge.

+## Model Presets
+
+Use `/model` to inspect the current runtime model:
+
+```text
+/model
+```
+
+The response shows the current model, the current preset, and the available preset names. `default` is always available and represents the model settings from `agents.defaults.*`.
+
+To switch presets for future turns:
+
+```text
+/model fast
+/model deep
+/model default

+
+Preset names come from the top-level `modelPresets` config. Switching is runtime-only: it does not rewrite `config.json`, and an in-progress turn keeps using the model it started with. See [Configuration: Model presets](./configuration.md#model-presets) for setup details.

 ## Periodic Tasks
 
 The gateway wakes up every 30 minutes and checks `HEARTBEAT.md` in your workspace (`~/.nanobot/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md`). If the file has tasks, the agent executes them and delivers results to your most recently active chat channel.

+## Model Presets
+
+Model presets let you name a complete model configuration and switch it at runtime with `/model <preset>`.
+
+Existing configs do not need to change. If you do not set `modelPresets` or `agents.defaults.modelPreset`, nanobot keeps using `agents.defaults.*` exactly as before.

+
+`modelPresets` is a top-level object. The keys under it (`fast`, `deep`, `coding`, etc.) are user-defined preset names. Each preset supports:
+
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `model` | Model name to use for this preset. |
+| `provider` | Provider name, or `"auto"` to use provider auto-detection. |
+| `maxTokens` | Maximum completion/output tokens. |
+| `contextWindowTokens` | Context window size used by prompt building and consolidation decisions. |
+| `temperature` | Sampling temperature. |
+| `reasoningEffort` | Optional reasoning/thinking setting. Provider support varies. |
+
+`default` is reserved and always means the implicit preset built from `agents.defaults.*`; do not define `modelPresets.default`. Use `/model default` to switch back to `agents.defaults.*`.
+
+Set `agents.defaults.modelPreset` to start with a named preset:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "fast"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When `modelPreset` is `null` or omitted, startup uses the implicit `default` preset from `agents.defaults.*`. Runtime changes made with `/model <preset>` are not written back to `config.json`; they affect future turns until the process restarts or another model/config change replaces them.
