It gains settings that apply only to new sessions started from that window and are not saved.\n\n- `\/model <name>` now goes through a shared setter. Its hint says, for example, 'Model set to ... for new sessions from this window (not saved)'. Before, the hint said the model was session-scoped and not persisted.\n\n- A bare `\/model`, or one with an unknown name, now opens a setting picker instead of a usage hint. It offers model suggestions, the effort levels, on and off for fast mode, and a 'Reset to configured default' option.\n\n- The effort hint mentions `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` when that variable overrides the choice.\n\n- The fast mode hint warns that fast mode draws from usage credits at a higher rate and that cloud sessions don't get it.\n\n- The view is now created with an `activeTab` argument, and the new-session settings are tracked.\n\nOnly the `\/model` path was traced. Nothing was found that sets effort or fast mode through the setter, so those two may not be reachable yet.\n\n**Why**\n\nFrom the agent view you can pick the model for sessions you start next without changing your saved settings. Effort and fast mode controls may follow.\n\n- Area: Agents View\n- Names: `\/model`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
