Describe the bug
When using /model to change the model in one session, it updates the global ~/.copilot/config.json, which causes
all other active sessions to silently switch models. This is unexpected and confusing.
Affected version
Version 0.0.411
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open Session A (e.g., ee685757...) — model shows claude-sonnet-4.5
- Open Session B (e.g., 738952fd...) — run /model and select gpt-5-mini
- Return to Session A — UI now shows gpt-5-mini (high) even though no model change was made in that session
- No session.model_change event is logged in Session A's events.jsonl, confirming the change originated
externally
Evidence from session logs:
- Session B (738952fd) has a session.model_change event for gpt-5-mini at 2026-02-18T18:10:20Z
- Session A (ee685757) has no such event — the model changed in the UI without any user action in that session
Expected behavior
Model selection should be per-session. Changing the model in one session should not affect
other active sessions. A global default is fine for new sessions, but running sessions should maintain their own
model selection.
- Store model selection per-session (e.g., in workspace.yaml) and fall back to config.json only when no
session-level override exists - Alternatively, at minimum, log a session.model_change event and display a notification when the model changes
due to an external config update, so the user understands what happened
