Describe the bug

The user I'm logged into copilot CLI is licensed through a GitHub Copilot Business account. Our admins have not yet enabled the GPT 5.1 family of models. This is confirmed by viewing the Copilot settings page (https://github.com/settings/copilot/features). See screenshot below of one model

Despite not being enabled, in the CLI I'm able to switch to those models, prompt them, and receive response.

  3. Use /model to switch to "gpt-5.1-codex-mini"
  4. Prompt the model
  5. Receive a response

Expected behavior

I should either be unable to choose the model OR the model should not accept a prompt and provide response
