Ignoring a redundant model command
Redundant command given
The situation
A command was given to switch the model, but it had already been handled locally. The person was unsure how to proceed with the given information. The command was not a request to an AI, but rather a local harness command. The chat's own output had already recorded the model switch.

What they decided
Keep it as context when no action is called for
Why
The message was a bare command that asked nothing of an AI, and the model switch had already been recorded. No further action was required, and the person decided to keep the message as context in case it was needed later. The command had already run locally and set the model, so there was no need to take any additional steps.
The first step
None, keep as context
