Errors mention "gemini-1.5-flash-latest" even though I selected a different Gemini model. Is BookyAI ignoring my selection? (fixed in v1.6.4)

Your selection was never ignored — your chosen model is always tried first. The confusing part was our error reporting: when your model failed AND the automatic fallback rotation also failed, the error showed the LAST attempt — which was often a retired Gemini 1.5 model that Google no longer offers to new API keys. Since v1.6.4 the retired models are gone from the rotation and the error always leads with what happened to YOUR selected model (e.g. "Your selected model gemini-2.5-flash failed: HTTP 429: quota exceeded…"), so the real cause is finally visible.
