/// another one -- the required confidence level is checked against the embedding provider, and so
/// are the token limits -- changing the other field leaves the verdict as it was, and an error which
/// no longer holds stays on screen. Hooked to the FieldChanged event of the form, this checks the
/// dependent fields again after every change. A state which is no field of the form, such as
/// showing the expert settings, passes no changed field at all.
