+When storing user model preferences (sonnet/opus/haiku), always store the alias string, never resolve to specific model IDs like claude-sonnet-4-5. Claude CLI resolves aliases to the latest version at runtime. Hardcoding IDs prevents automatic adoption of newer models. The /model command in ai-assistant-discord-bot was fixed to follow this pattern.
