Filament material mismatch between Slicer and printer

Yesterday I sent by mistake a .gcode file sliced for PLA to my PrusaMini, while filament ABS was loaded.

This mistake made me think: why didn't the printer report error, since the mismatch was clear.

So I wonder: does the .gcdoe includes information on the filament target? Or is it only machine level instructions?

I would think it would be easy to implement such a check, adding a layer to prevent such mistakes in the future.

This check is implemented for Mk4 and XL, so I assume it's due to the limited memory that it's not on the Mini. But worth opening a ticket on Prusa's github site and post it as a suggestion (but check if someone has perhaps done it before).

Printer will not prevent uploading, you can print with PETG and send files for PLA or any other filament, but when you have loaded filament of particular type, and you want to run print from gcode for other type of filament mini+ (i have filament runout sensor) will print the warning on the screen, at least i saw it once here...

Looks like there was an issue with older firmware when sending files remotely https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/2334 but also according to that issue the feature was added to remote sends of gcode.
