[BUG] ESC key during model selection (Alt+P) interrupts agent execution - Windows Terminal

Bug: ESC key during model selection (Alt+P) interrupts agent execution - Windows Terminal

Description

When the model selection dialog is open via [Alt]+[P], pressing [ESC] to close the dialog without changing selection also interrupts any ongoing agent execution in the background.

Expected Behavior

ESC should only close the topmost UI element (model selection dialog), not affect underlying processes.

Actual Behavior

ESC closes the dialog AND interrupts the running agent.

Reproduction Steps

1. Start Claude Code in Windows Terminal
2. Begin an agent execution (any multi-step task)
3. While agent is running, press [Alt]+[P] to open model selection
4. Press [ESC] to cancel/close the dialog (without changing model)
5. Observe: Agent execution is interrupted

Environment

• Platform: Windows Terminal
• OS: Windows 11

• CHANGELOG v2.0.41 fixed ESC for diff modal, but not model selection dialog
