OpenClaw 2026.6.11 (e085fa1)

Symptom

A model-switch request that arrives while a turn is actively in-flight causes a hard failure instead of retrying the same turn against the newly-selected model.

Evidence

07:33:05 info live session model switch requested during active attempt ... anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 -> anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6
07:33:05 warn model_fallback_decision decision=candidate_failed ... fallbackConfigured=false
07:33:05 error Embedded agent failed before reply: Live session model switch requested: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6

Suggested fix

When a live model-switch is requested mid-attempt, treat it like a fallback candidate: retry the in-flight turn against the new model rather than surfacing it as a terminal error. Current behavior looks like it hits the fallback-decision path (model_fallback_decision) but bails because fallbackConfigured=false, when really this should be an intentional retry path, not a fallback-config-dependent one.

Impact

Any mid-turn model switch (session_status model override, /model, cron job override, etc.) issued while a turn is running currently kills that turn outright instead of completing it on the new model.
