Proposed fix: [OpenHands] Image sent to a text-only model: 'the currently selected model (<model>) does not support image understanding. Please switch to a multimodal model'
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Switch to a vision-capable model (or fix model capability metadata for custom/proxied model names).
Option: Switch to a vision-capable model (or fix model capability metadata for custom/proxied model names). [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: User attaches an image while a non-vision model is selected
Steps:
1. Select a multimodal model
2. For proxied/custom model names, ensure the capability lookup recognizes vision support
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
