feat: verifier-gated model router (run cheap → verify → escalate) #853

Description

@anandgupta42

Summary

Add a verifier-gated model router: run a cheap model first, verify the result deterministically (dbt build), and escalate to a stronger model only when verification fails. Flag-gated (ALTIMATE_ROUTER), default off — the normal single-model path is unchanged.

Motivation

Most data-engineering tasks are solved by a cheap recent model; only the minority that fail verification need a stronger (more expensive) model. Routing cheap-first with a deterministic gate keeps quality high while cutting cost, and attaches a machine-checkable verdict to each result.

Scope

  • packages/opencode/src/router/verifier, router, policy, verdict (pure, unit-tested)
  • packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/run.ts — orchestration when ALTIMATE_ROUTER=1
  • packages/opencode/test/router/ — unit + env-gated E2E suites

The customer routing policy is served from a separate altimate-backend endpoint (tracked separately); this PR ships the client + static default.
