Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the /chat path using app version 1.1.12 by starting a conversation and opening the model switcher. Trace the model-switcher loading and retry state to determine why models are unavailable after conversation start. Done means the switcher remains usable and allows changing models during an active conversation.
