-## 5. API Endpoints & Request Flow
+## 5. Model Selection (the chat dropdown)
+
+**The model list is hardcoded in `dsh/app.py`** (`MODEL_CHOICES`, ~line 660). DSH does
+**not** discover models from OmniRoute. `GET /api/models` simply returns that list
+plus `MODEL_LABELS` for the friendly names.
+
+Consequence: a model can exist in OmniRoute and still be invisible in DSH until it
+is added to `MODEL_CHOICES` **and** `MODEL_LABELS`.
+
+A chosen model is validated server-side (`if active_model not in MODEL_CHOICES:
+active_model = LLM_MODEL`), so an unlisted id silently falls back to the default.
+
+### Adding a model
+
+1. Confirm it works through OmniRoute first — `curl http://127.0.0.1:20129/v1/models`
+   and then a real `chat/completions` call with a short timeout.
+2. Add the id to `MODEL_CHOICES` and a friendly string to `MODEL_LABELS` in
+   `dsh/app.py`.
+3. Deploy: copy `app.py` to `.13:/home/sam/Docker/Containers/dsh/`, then
+   `docker compose build && docker compose up -d` in that directory (the image
+   bakes `app.py` via `COPY . .`, so a rebuild is required — restarting is not enough).
+4. Verify: `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3081/api/models` should list the new id.
+
+### Local Ollama models
+
+The `.27` models are exposed by OmniRoute as `ollama/qwen2.5:14b` and
+`ollama/qwen2.5-coder:14b` (`ollama-local/…` also exists but is duplicated).
+Because Ollama now starts **off** at boot, these fail until it is started from the
+family console; hence the `needs Ollama on` label. Inference is CPU-only on `.27`,
+so expect it to be slower than the cloud routes.
