When the title task model is "Current Model", regenerating a title from the sidebar (Rename -> sparkles) used a model derived from the chat's message history instead of the model currently selected in the dropdown.
generateTitleHandler reused a cached chat, so repeated regenerations resolved the model from a stale history.currentId (the model from an old revision). Even with fresh data it never consulted the live dropdown selection, which the sidebar had no access to.
Add a selectedChatModels store mirrored from Chat.svelte; the handler now always refetches and, for the open chat, prefers the live selection. The history walk remains the fallback for chats that aren't open.
