goose fix: when changing modes mid chat or in settings need to notify

When changing chat modes - you need to currently restart sessions. This will tell you via a simple toast to do that if you change when in active chat or in settings.

Thanks! I looked into it and we don't need to change mid chat it applies on the next message reply currently so we only need to do this on the settings page.

FWIW I have seen on model change that it doesn't show this in the UI until after reload

@DOsinga oh so we should add the warning for model change as well you mean?

(this is partly only temporary until multi chat lands)

model change seems to work fine mid chat for me, example switching to gemini (model response fails for other reasons but you can see it working)

so may be ok as is @zanesq ?

I think model switching mid chat is ok so no need for a notice there. Mode change mid chat also works mid chat currently so no need for it there also. Can you remove it from mid chat and only keep it in settings?

hrm - when I tried it, it didn't seem to actually change it mid chat - you sure @zanesq ? (I just put it in chat only - and it still called tools)

I haven't tried it just looking at the code I see it applies the mode on the next reply.. will try it first thing tomorrow to verify

@michaelneale strange it works for me on main see below. Also for some reason if I test on this branch it never gets past the first prompt "create a test file in my desktop" so there might be a bug in this branch?
