Searches the web for latest Claude model information, compares benchmarks and pricing, then updates the model selection guide.

## What it does

1. Searches for latest Claude model announcements, benchmarks, and pricing
2. Compares against the current guide in `docs/reference/models.md`
3. Shows what changed (new models, price changes, benchmark updates)
4. With `--apply`: updates `models.md`, `session-context.sh` model guidance, and `batch-tasks/prompt.md` model assignment

## Usage

```
/model-research              # Research + show diff (no changes written)
/model-research --apply      # Research + update all configs
```
