`ProgressEvent` is deliberately coarse (`Started`, `ToolCall`, `Token`,
`Finished`, `Error`). OpenHuman's `AgentProgress` is a **UI contract** consumed
by its frontend timeline, cost footer, and citation chips; it stays host-side
and is produced *from* `ProgressEvent`. If it drifts into this crate the
frontend breaks in ways unit tests will not catch.
`ProgressEvent` is deliberately coarse (`Started`, `ToolCall`,
`ToolCallFinished`, `Token`, `Finished`, `Error`). OpenHuman's `AgentProgress`
is a **UI contract** consumed by its frontend timeline, cost footer, and
citation chips; it stays host-side and is produced *from* `ProgressEvent`. If it
drifts into this crate the frontend breaks in ways unit tests will not catch.

The test for admitting a variant is **whether only the runtime can know it**,
not a variant count. `ToolCallFinished` was added under that test (issue #88):
`ToolCall` opened a tool row and nothing closed it, so a host could not report a
tool's outcome truthfully — it would have had to leave every row running
forever or fabricate `success: true`, which puts wrong data in both the timeline
and the trace exporter. Whether a tool returned or failed is a runtime fact, in
the same category as `Started` and `Finished`. A chip or a footer is not.

### 3.10 `ModelResolver`

```

`ModelResolveRequest` carries `agent_id`, `role`, `is_team_lead` and
`model_pin`. The last was added by issue #89: `AgentDefinition.model` is
documented as the model an agent pins, and there was previously no field for it
on the request, leaving `role` as the only string a wiring author could reach
for. A host resolver reasonably reads `role` as a role vocabulary, so a model id
placed there becomes an unrecognised role and falls back to a default — the pin
dropped silently. `role` is a **host taxonomy**; `model_pin` is a **concrete
model id**; they must stay separate channels.

The pin is **advisory**. The host decides whether it can honour it — the model
may be unconfigured, its credentials absent, or its provider down — because the
runtime has no view of any of that. A runtime that honoured pins itself would
route to models the host cannot call.

Normalize blank model pins at the serde boundary.

with_model_pin("") stores Some(""). Lines 110-111 serialize that value as "model_pin":"" because only None is omitted. A consumer that reads the public field or JSON can treat the blank value as a concrete invalid pin.

Treat blank and whitespace-only pins as absent during serialization and deserialization. Add serde coverage for blank values.

Also applies to: 134-137, 394-405

In `@src/harness/host/model_resolver.rs` around lines 110 - 111, Update the
model_pin serde handling in the model resolver, including with_model_pin and the
relevant serialize/deserialize paths, so empty and whitespace-only strings
normalize to None while nonblank pins remain unchanged. Ensure serialization
omits normalized blank pins and deserialization produces None for blank values,
and add serde tests covering both cases.
