[Bug]: "End Session" doesn't actually end the session

[anemo-hypostasis]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

Describe the bug and reproduction steps

When switching models in the settings window, the following question gets asked:

End Session
Changing your settings will clear your workspace and start a new session. Are you sure you want to continue?

Clicking "End Session" takes me back to the home screen. The issue here is that the old Docker agents are actually still running

root@debian:~# docker ps

Creating/opening a project starts yet another agent, burning resources.

I found this out when I was investigating why my usage credits on a popular LLM provider kept increasing. It turns out one of those containers were still working when I thought it was already ended.

The problem here is the message that appears. We actually don't want the session to end because of the multi conversation feature that is in the works.

@rbren or @amanape should we change the message that appears or remove it altogether?

[anemo-hypostasis]

Start New Session Changes to your settings will only apply to new sessions. How would you like to continue?

• Create New Session
• Cancel

Maybe a small disclaimer as well while the multi-session feature is still being developed.

[mamoodi]

Yeah that's definitely a more accurate message. I'll let the folks I tagged chime in.

[rbren]

I think we should just change this text to

Changes to your settings will only affect new or resurrected conversations. Running conversations will be unaffected.

[rbren]

And not have any warning when you click "save"

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 7 days.

This behavior has changed now with 0.25 with the new multi conversation UI and this issue is no longer applicable.
