Kimi model switch did not verify the requested model: reques

Error message

Kimi model switch did not verify the requested model: requested "${wantSet}", current "${verified || 'not visible'}"

What it means

After clicking a model option, the command re-reads the visible model indicator (svg 'Down_b' neighbor text) and compares it (normalized) to the clicked label. If they differ — including when the indicator is not visible — it throws CommandExecutionError stating requested vs current model, with remediation guidance. This prevents reporting success when the switch silently didn't take effect.

Solutions

1. Retry the model set command and then verify via the model get/list command.
2. Manually open the Kimi model menu and confirm the requested model is selectable, then retry (per the error hint).
3. Re-login or reload the page if the UI is in a stale state.
4. Update the library if the model-indicator markup changed.

Example fix

// before
await run('kimi', 'model', { set: 'Kimi K2' }); // may throw unverified
// after
try {
  await run('kimi', 'model', { set: 'Kimi K2' });
} catch (e) {
  await page.reload();
  await run('kimi', 'model', { set: 'Kimi K2' });
}

const verified = (cur, clicked) => normalizeModel(cur) === normalizeModel(clicked);

try {
  await run('kimi', 'model', { set: want });
} catch (e) {
  if (/did not verify the requested model/.test(e.message)) {
    await page.reload();
    const cur = await run('kimi', 'model');
    if (!cur.some(m => m.Active === 'yes' && normalize(m.Model) === normalize(want))) {
      await run('kimi', 'model', { set: want });
    }
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: normalizeModel(verified) !== normalizeModel(clickRes.clicked): the click didn't register, the menu reverted, the page shows the previous model, or the verified text is empty/not visible.

Common situations: Kimi rejected the selection (network hiccup); indicator re-rendered with a different label than the option text; the clicked option was a sub-menu header rather than a selectable model; UI update changed the Down_b icon structure.
