[Bug]: /model doesn't actually change model #646

Description

@joshrad-dev

Summary

When one model isn't working and I try to run /model to change it, Clawdbot says the model is changed but checking the logs says otherwise.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have one model be the default, (I think it has to do with the default model not working but not sure)
  2. Try changing model with /model
  3. Send new message and check logs

Expected behavior

What did you expect to happen?
The model to change in the logs

Actual behavior

What actually happened?
The model didn't change in the logs

Environment

  • Clawdbot version: 2026.1.10 (src latest as of writing)
  • OS: macOS 15.6.2
  • Install method (pnpm/npx/docker/etc): git

Logs or screenshots

Paste relevant logs or add screenshots (redact secrets).

My default model is minimax2.1 free on zen which didn't work when I tried to send a message. Then I tried to switch the model in telegram and send another message, and as you can see from the timestamps, the model didn't actually change.
