Subject: [PATCH] fix(local-model): name a session without a name in the "still
 using this model" refusal

Seen on a MacBook (M5 Pro, 2026-11-12): with a worker of the codeman skill open on the
local model, Stop, Remove and a switch of models answered

    Sessions are still using this model: . Close them first.

A session an agent starts has no name of its own (a quick-start without sessionName), and
the refusal listed session.name. The tab of such a session shows the last folder of its
working directory, else the first eight characters of its id, so the sentence now uses the
same label (sessionLabel() beside sessionNamesUsingEndpoint()).

The sentence has shipped since 1.50.0 for Stop and Remove. This branch adds it to Use and
to the install of another model, which is where a person with local workers open meets it.
