AI Summary

Introduces smart model selection logic and fixes routing for tools schemas, alongside the ability to auto-start a mesh client from launchers.

Key Highlights

Smart agent model selection picks strongest tool-capable model automatically
Router fix ensures tools schema requests always go to the strongest model
Auto-start mesh: launchers auto-start client nodes and clean up on exit
Anthropic format support for content blocks (tool_use, tool_result)

New Features

Smart model selection
Router improvements for tools schemas
Auto-start mesh functionality
Anthropic content block parsing

Full Release Notes

## What's new

- **Smart agent model selection**: `mesh-llm claude` and `mesh-llm goose` now pick the strongest tool-capable model automatically (e.g. MiniMax over Qwen3-8B) instead of relying on per-request routing
- **Router fix**: requests with a tools schema (from Claude Code, Goose, etc.) now always route to the strongest model — previously the first "hello" message could land on a small fast model
- **Auto-start mesh**: launchers auto-start a client node if no mesh is running, and clean up when the harness exits
- **Anthropic format support**: router now correctly parses Anthropic-style content blocks (tool_use, tool_result, structured text arrays)
