What

Changing settings mid-run against a cloud-hosted session is limited to model, advisorModel, effortLevel, ultracode, fastMode, viewMode and alwaysThinkingEnabled. Any other key is rejected by name.

Details
  • The rejection lists the offending keys, truncating long names and capping the list with "(and N more)".
  • A settings payload that is not an object is rejected outright.
Evidence

apply_flag_settings requires settings to be an object

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