Model refusal fallback no longer claims your session model changed

Fallback notices now say only that one response came from another model; your session model is unchanged.

What

When a request falls back to another model, the notice explains that only that response came from the other model, and the session model display marks the switch as automatic.

Details
  • The old "Switched to X" wording is gone; the notice now says the response was generated or completed by the other model and that the session model is unchanged.
  • /status and the model display append a note that the model was automatically switched.
  • The fallback notice is carried into the extracted last-assistant-response text with a ⚠ prefix.
Evidence

This response was generated by ${n} instead. Your session model is unchanged.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
