Aider v0.78.0: model-setting validation and per-role model switching commands
Aider now validates whether a model actually supports --reasoning-effort and --thinking-tokens and ignores them if not, gated by a new --check-model-accepts-settings flag. Adds /editor-model and /weak-model commands to switch model roles mid-session, thinking-token support for OpenRouter Sonnet 3.7, and a --git-commit-verify flag controlling whether git commit hooks are bypassed.
