Recognize attached restatement option values.

With no local models, plan --restate-model=sqlmesh_example.full_model still reaches the “doesn't seem to have any models” error. Click 8.1.8 preserves this token in the group arguments, so exact membership does not recognize it. The supported -rNAME form has the same problem. Recognize attached values or inspect parsed option values. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @sqlmesh/cli/main.py at line 160:
Update the restatement-only plan argument check using _RESTATE_ONLY_PLAN_FLAGS and ctx.meta["subcommand_args"] to recognize --restate-model and -r options with attached values, as well as standalone forms, so plans with no local models bypass the no-model error when restatement is requested.

Preserve backfill selection when disabling local loading.

For deployed example models, plan --skip-linter -r sqlmesh_example.full_model --backfill-model 'sqlmesh_example.*' now fails. Disabling loading leaves _models empty. The backfill expansion at context.py Line 1743 still uses only local models, so Line 1786 rejects the selection even though restatement expansion finds the deployed model. Expand the backfill selector against persisted models on this path too. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @sqlmesh/cli/main.py at line 162:
Update the CLI path that sets load to false so backfill selector expansion in the planning flow can include persisted models when local models are unavailable. Preserve the existing local-model expansion when loading is enabled and align backfill selection with the persisted-model handling used for restatement expansion.

Build the selector DAG from the environment models too.

For deployed models example.a -> example.b without local definitions, --restate-model '+example.b' selects only example.b. The models argument changes name lookup, but upstream expansion still uses the selector's empty local DAG. PlanBuilder only propagates restatements downstream, so example.a remains unrestated. Build a matching DAG before expanding the restatement selector. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @sqlmesh/core/context.py at line 1783:
Update the restatement selector flow around restate_models so upstream expansion uses a DAG built from both environment models and local models, not merely the combined models argument for name lookup. Preserve local-model precedence when combining them, and ensure '+example.b' includes deployed upstream dependencies such as example.a.
