## Title

    [LM Studio] Multiple agents/models: "Unloading other JIT model X" (JIT auto-evict) then "This model has already been unloaded."

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): With auto-evict on, loading a JIT model unloads other JIT-loaded models; handles referring to an unloaded model raise the already-unloaded error.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Unknowns:
    - That the already-unloaded error follows specifically from JIT eviction is an inference from the two code paths, not stated in one place.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - by going to LM Studio -> Settings -> Developer -> Turn OFF JIT models auto-evict)
    - This model has already been unloaded.
