 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed `/model` in the TUI to open the active-session model switcher instead of the role-assignment picker ([#2846](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/issues/2846)).
 - Fixed Whisper STT cache detection to require both encoder and decoder `.onnx` files, so partial model downloads now trigger a proper foreground download instead of being treated as fully cached
 - Fixed same-process `JsRuntime` cleanup so disposing an older inline/direct runtime no longer deletes a newer runtime's JS helper globals; inactive cmux/direct runtimes now re-activate their globals before sequential use while overlapping cross-runtime runs fail explicitly.
 - Fixed magic-keyword steering notices (`ultrathink-notice`, `orchestrate-notice`, `workflow-notice`) to be prepended before the related user message so they influence that same turn
