- PR #135265: fix(cli): keep the current model when the Nous login picker gets a bare Enter

A bug where the Nous portal login flow incorrectly defaulted to a paid flagship model, and bare Enter silently changed the provider/model. Two fixes address defaulting to skip and preserving the current model on bare Enter.
