What's Wrong?
I switch from Opus to Sonnet in a certain session where I need less token consumption, but it switches it on every session that I have currently open.
What Should Happen?
The model should be switched only in the session where I am switching, the other one should continue using the one that they used.

Steps to Reproduce
