Problem Statement

There is no way to see which model is currently active in the VS Code extension panel without interrupting a session with a command. This matters when switching between Sonnet and Opus — it's easy to forget to switch back and incur unexpected usage costs.

Proposed Solution

Display the currently active model name somewhere passively visible in the VS Code extension panel — for example, in the panel header, the prompt box footer, or next to the session title — so users can confirm the active model at a glance without typing a command.
