User story

As an operator, I want to pick which model (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku / DeepSeek) the foreman uses for a given session, so I can throw the cheap one at scratch chats and reserve Opus for spec drafting.

Acceptance criteria

Session header exposes a model dropdown sourced from GET /agents/models (already shipped — #553). Default is the foreman's configured model from /foreman/config.
Selection persists on the foreman_sessions row (new column model, nullable; null = use default). Forward migration via ALTER TABLE in ensureSchema, mirroring the existing repo column pattern.
POST /foreman/chat honours the session's pinned model when set.
The model dropdown lives next to the session title, not in the sidebar (per-session, not per-list).

Out of scope

Per-turn model override (defer).
Provider failover surface (covered by #552).

References

Sessions schema: apps/server/src/domain/agent/foreman.ts:64 (ensureSchema).
Spec: specs/workspace-chat-overhaul.md § P6.
