Pull request overview
This PR aims to keep chat UI titles in sync when the underlying chat “mode”/session backing the widget changes, by ensuring host components react to view model/session transitions and refresh their title sources accordingly.
Changes:
- Update the chat view pane title control when the chat widget’s view model changes.
- Allow
ChatEditorInputto switch whichIChatModelit tracks (and rewire change listeners) after initial creation. - Have the chat editor react to widget view model changes and update the associated
ChatEditorInputto the new session model.
