- PR #138870: fix(gateway): drop the previous provider's route on a provider-only launch pick

Members describe a case where choosing or overriding a provider (via a pick or a local session.create) appears to leave the prior provider's base_url or route in place, so the new provider's key may be sent to the old endpoint, with a reported 401. Two members are fix-oriented changes and one is a bug report; their exact code changes are not specified in the titles.
