Honest model names only — local picks up real Ollama names (qwen2.5-72b,
llama-3.3-70b, llama-3.1-8b, nomic-embed-text), Claude via *-max only.
The shadows were briefly useful (paperless-ai wizard probe quirk) and
then briefly used to make the ALL-LOCAL cutover transparent to clients,
but having "claude-sonnet-4-6" silently route to llama3.3:70b in the
Open WebUI picker was a constant foot-gun. Pulse re-pointed to a clean
alias in its UI prior to this push; paperless-ai was already on
qwen2.5-72b. Trade-off captured in [[litellm-openai-alias-shadowing]].
