- Replaced legacy `pi/` role alias prefix with canonical `@` syntax across model resolution, documentation, and tests.
- Added support for bare `*` default alias and multiple alias prefix detection with custom role resolution in `resolveConfiguredRolePattern()`.
- Enhanced thinking suffix parsing to accept unambiguous abbreviations (minimum 2 characters) for effort and level selectors.
- Extended `resolveCliModel()` and `filterAvailableModelsByEnabledPatterns()` to accept settings parameter for role alias resolution from `--model` flag.
- Removed the canonical model variant indexing, selection, and tracking logic from the model registry and resolver.
- Eliminated the `canonical` sub-command, tab view, search tokens, and equivalence configuration structures from the CLI and model selector components.
- Refined model identification, lookup, and provider fallback resolution to bind exclusively to standard, raw model IDs.
- Relocated the equivalence utility script within the catalog package to support script-only policy generation.
