What issue are you seeing?
When I switch models using /model, Codex shows a confirmation line:
“Model changed to gpt-5.5 medium”
However, the top status panel still displays the previous model value, for example:
model: gpt-5.4 medium /model to change
This made me initially think the model switch had not actually happened. The change did take effect, but the persistent status UI did not reflect it.
Expected behavior:
After a successful /model change, the top Codex status panel should immediately update to the newly selected model.
Why this matters:
This is minor, but the current behavior creates unnecessary uncertainty. Other coding assistants update the visible model indicator immediately after switching, which makes the state clear.
Suggested fix:
Refresh/re-render the top status panel after successful model selection, or make the confirmation line more visually tied to the status panel.
