 ## Session protocol
 
-- **Switch to Opus first** (`/model opus`) before tackling any WP.
 - **One WP per session.** Read `CLAUDE.md`, this README, the WP file, and the WP's
   "Read first" list — then execute. Do not start the next WP in the same session.
 - The **Decisions** block in each WP is pre-made — don't relitigate it.
