By default the proposal model also reviews bounded failed-case traces during
failure analysis. Use `--analysis-model MODEL` to select a dedicated reviewer.
The shared `--model` defaults the eval agent, judge, trace analyzer, and
component author. Use `--eval-model`, `--judge-model`, `--analysis-model`, or
`--proposal-model` for explicit role overrides. If `--analysis-model` is
omitted, trace analysis uses the explicit `--proposal-model` before falling
back to the shared model. Without a shared model or `--judge-model`, each case
keeps its configured judge.

Inspect and operate the registry with `answerlayer optimize list`,
`get RUN_ID`, `pause RUN_ID`, `resume RUN_ID`, `stop RUN_ID`, `clone RUN_ID`,
