[BUG] Model command onscreen text lies

What's Wrong?

When I use /model, onscreen it says to select an option then press enter to save as default or s to change for session only. This worked yesterday (2026-06-15). Today as soon as I select a model, without hitting either enter or s it's automatically saved as the new default.
Either today's update intentionally changed the behavior and forgot to change the text, or the behavior's broken.

What Should Happen?

It shouldn't save until you hit enter or s, and should do as the onscreen text indicates it will.
