feat(sdd): follow a task's declared implementation tier at dispatch
The skeleton-first task template carries a Tier field the planner marks deliberately. Model Selection now follows it instead of re-deciding at dispatch, the implementer template's model slot reads it at fill time, and an explicit mechanical ruling overrides the mid-tier contract floor — the planner has already ruled the deliverable fully specified. Task templates without a Tier field are unaffected: every route falls through to the existing Model Selection guidance.
