 - Fixed Herdr rejecting the macOS development launcher because its foreground process was reported as `bun` instead of `omp`.
 - Completed usage-aware model fallback across startup, queued turns, same-turn tool continuations, ACP/TUI confirmation cancellation, eligible account reselection, cooldown restoration, and isolated subagent settings so low-usage handoffs remain lossless and cannot consume cancelled queued work.
 - Fixed Agent Hub opening and selection becoming O(all rows) on large rosters: row rendering is now lazy around the selected viewport, and observer lookup is O(1) by id instead of copy-sorting every session per row.
+- Fixed persisted Agent Hub rows dropping an explicit caller model role when a subagent used a model override, preserving role provenance after restart.
 - Fixed the bash interceptor blocking `grep`/`cat`/`find` used as a downstream pipeline stage (e.g. `printf 'x\n' | grep x`); a stage consuming piped stdin cannot be replaced by a path-based dedicated tool, so it is no longer matched, while standalone and first-stage searches stay intercepted ([#7496](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/issues/7496)).
 - Fixed floating rejections from cmux browser guest JavaScript terminating the main process and every active session; attributable rejections now fail the browser run as tool errors while unrelated process rejections retain the fatal path ([#7365](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/issues/7365)).
 - Fixed the Windows bash tool silently taking down the whole omp process when a command blocked until its timeout: cancelling a timed-out run walked the spawned child's descendant tree from raw `th32ParentProcessID` links, and a recycled pid matching the harness's stale recorded parent pid could enumerate omp as a false descendant and `TerminateProcess` it, killing the session with no `session_exit` record. Run-cancellation sweeps now refuse to signal the harness or any process collected beneath it, while still reaping the timed-out target when it owns a recycled ancestor pid ([#7452](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/issues/7452)).
