Typing `\/` enters the field, escape leaves it, paste is supported, and an empty state appears when nothing matches. The entry point is hardcoded off in this build, so pressing `\/` in the model picker does nothing.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The picker passes a literal false for whether search can be entered, and the expression that would compute the real value is evaluated and discarded.\n- While the field has focus, the model selection and reasoning effort keybindings are suspended so typed characters go to the query instead.\n- The field is labelled `Search models\u2026` and shows an empty state when no model label or description matches.\n- Entering search mode emits `model_picker_search` telemetry.\n- The Settings dialog has its own separate `\/` search path, which is unaffected and still works.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`Search models\u2026`, `settings:search`\n\n- Area: Models\n- Names: `\/model`\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
