What

Mapping a model string back through modelOverrides no longer substitutes an override key that points at a model the client does not know.

Details
  • A candidate key is returned only if it maps to a model the client recognizes.
  • "No match" is now represented by undefined rather than by returning the input unchanged.
  • Previously any override key whose value matched was substituted verbatim.
  • The application-inference-profile fallback path is unchanged.
