fix: rebuild API handler on profile switch with same provider/model

- Add forceRebuild parameter to updateTaskApiHandlerIfNeeded method
- Always force rebuild when explicitly switching profiles via activateProviderProfile
- Ensures all settings (baseUrl, headers, service tier, etc.) are applied even when provider/model remain the same
- Fixes #9208
