…flash gemini/gemini-2.5-flash-lite is retired by Google for new users, so every Module-B classification batch 404s on a fresh setup. Bump both places that pin the default (.env.example and config_loader.DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL) plus the docstring and runbook references to the live gemini/gemini-2.5-flash id already used elsewhere in the repo. final_metrics.md is left unchanged as a historical record of the model those metrics were measured on.

…-3.5-flash-lite gemini/gemini-2.5-flash-lite is retired by Google for new users, so every Module-B classification batch 404s on a fresh setup. Replace it with gemini/gemini-3.5-flash-lite -- the lite-tier successor Google's own 404 message recommends, which keeps Module B on the cheap gate (not the chatbot's heavier model) per the config's design note. Verified working against the Gemini API (2.5-flash-lite 404s; 3.5-flash-lite succeeds and produced a full ASVS classify run). Updates both pins (.env.example, config_loader.DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL) plus the docstring and runbook references. final_metrics.md is left unchanged as a historical record of the model those metrics were measured on.

Confirm the authoritative Module B model.
The Module B runtime default, .env.example, and runbook use gemini/gemini-3.5-flash-lite. The stated PR objective identifies gemini/gemini-2.5-flash. Confirm the target before merge. If gemini/gemini-2.5-flash is required, align DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL and the related references. Otherwise, update the objective.

Problem
The Module-B noise filter defaults to
gemini/gemini-2.5-flash-lite, which Google has retired for new users. On a fresh setup every classification batch 404s:Result: 0 chunks classified,
knowledge_queuestays empty — the classify path is dead out of the box.Fix
Replace the default with
gemini/gemini-3.5-flash-lite— the lite-tier successor Google's own 404 message recommends. It keeps Module B on a cheap, dedicated classifier per the config's design note ("Module B is the cheap gate and must not pull in the chatbot's heavier model") rather than moving to the heaviergemini-2.5-flashtier.Updated in both pins plus the two live doc references:
.env.example—CRE_NOISE_FILTER_LLM_MODELapplication/utils/noise_filter/config_loader.py—DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL(the env fallback reads this var)application/utils/noise_filter/llm_classifier.py— docstring "default …" referencedocs/gsoc_2026_module_b/module_b_runbook.md— default-value tableModel-id change only — no loader refactor, no classify-logic change.
