Bug

When using /model deepseek/deepseek-chat to switch to a fallback model, then running /model default to switch back, OpenClaw interprets 'default' as a model name rather than a reset command.

Expected behavior

/model default should reset the model override and return to the configured default model (e.g. anthropic/claude-opus-4-6).

Actual behavior

/model default tries to set the model to anthropic/default, which fails with:

Model "anthropic/default" is not allowed. Use /models to list providers, or /models <provider> to list models.

Workaround

Use the full model name: /model anthropic/claude-opus-4-6

Or use the session_status tool with model=default parameter, which correctly resets the override.
