Key finding: The deep link handler (selectKiloModel in session.tsx) hardcodes KILO_PROVIDER_ID = "kilo" when looking up and applying the model. This means it only works for models in Kilo's own Gateway catalog. The documentation example of anthropic/claude-opus-4-20250514 would be silently ignored unless that exact ID appears in the Kilo Gateway catalog. The URL format, URL-encoding tip, behavior description, and HTML embedding example are all accurate.
