📄 Description

Description

When clicking 'New Chat' while viewing an active chat with a non-default model, the new chat incorrectly inherits the current model instead of using the configured default model.

Root Cause

The model selector persists the selected model in the URL search params (?models=...). When navigating to a new chat via 'New Chat', the URL is not cleared of these model search params, causing the Chat component's init() to read the stale model from the URL instead of using the configured default.

Fix

Clear the 'models' and 'model' URL search params when resetting state for a new chat, ensuring the configured default model is always used.

Steps to Reproduce (before fix)

Configure a default model in Admin/User settings (Model A)
Start a chat and switch to a different model (Model B)
Click 'New Chat' while Model B is active
New chat incorrectly uses Model B instead of Model A

Steps to Verify (after fix)

Configure a default model (Model A)
Start a chat and switch to a different model (Model B)
Click 'New Chat'
New chat now correctly uses Model A

Fixes #22957
