Bug Description
Model switched mid-session possibly because we were investigating mechanisms to catch bad actors on our system(some SSH related work). Not ideal. Could have stopped and prompted me why its pausing and I could either understand and explain or open a new session.Credential hygiene checks are ordinary defensive security tasks. If the intentionally broad safeguard is going to catch them, the recovery path should be a prompt, not an unrequested downgrade.
