fix(profiles): require confirmation before applying an empty profile (#1349) - #1384
Conversation
…entleman-Programming#1349) In extensions/gentle-ai.ts, runProfilesPanelAction applied empty profiles without confirmation on the global apply path. Because an empty profile has zero routing entries, writeModelConfigAsync overwrote models.json with {} and withOmittedAgentsClearedAsync cleared every discoverable subagent in subagents.json, destroying the user'\''s model routing configuration. 1. Prompt for explicit confirmation via ctx.ui.confirm when applying a profile with zero routing entries (Object.keys(normalized).length === 0), naming the destructive effect on global routing and agent inheritance. 2. Abort immediately if declined, preserving models.json, subagents.json, and the store active marker.

…ff (Gentleman-Programming#1349) Address maintainer feedback on PR Gentleman-Programming#1384: applying a populated profile globally (Ctrl+S then enter) replaced every materialized agent route with no confirmation, the exact destructive sequence reported in Gentleman-Programming#1349. 1. In extensions/gentle-ai.ts runProfilesPanelAction case "apply", read the current global routing from the shared authority and compute a sorted replaced/cleared/added diff against the profile snapshot, excluding the orchestrator key. 2. Prompt for confirmation on every global apply via ctx.ui.confirm. A populated profile dialog names the concrete per-agent changes; empty and orchestrator-only profiles keep their specialized dialogs from efc7b52. 3. Decline aborts before any store claim, write, settings change, or live-session switch, preserving all four surfaces byte-identically. 4. Add populated-apply regressions (decline preserves everything; confirm applies the diff) and flip the nonempty-apply assertion to expect the dialog. Repo-pinned applies stay silent. Verified: focused profile suite 37/37, full tests/gentle-ai.test.ts 96/96, typecheck 187 baseline diagnostics with no regressions, git diff --check.
…ly dialog (Gentleman-Programming#1349) Close the convergent QA finding (glm5.3 adversarial-tester, glm5.2 exploratory-tester): when readModelRoutingAuthorityAsync does not return a valid status, the populated-apply dialog computed its diff against an empty map, presented existing routes as merely "(added)", and never mentioned that routes may be replaced or cleared back to inherit. 1. In extensions/gentle-ai.ts runProfilesPanelAction case "apply", when the routing authority is not valid at prompt time the populated dialog uses an alternative message disclosing the unreadable global routing and the replace/clear-to-inherit effect instead of the per-agent diff. 2. The valid-authority message, guard structure, decline semantics, empty and orchestrator-only dialogs, and repo-pinned silence are unchanged. 3. Add regressions for decline (disclosure, no "(added)", four surfaces byte-identical, no live switch) and confirm (apply proceeds unchanged).

Reject a routing diff that changes while confirmation is open.
If another session changes global routing during ctx.ui.confirm, the operator approves a diff calculated from the earlier file. This apply then overwrites the newer routing without showing its changes. Re-read the routing after approval and require a new confirmation if the relevant state changed. Coordinate the check with the write so another writer cannot invalidate it.

Thanks for the update, @barbatdev. I see the populated-profile regression I raised has now been addressed. I also prepared a local alternative for #1349 before noticing this overlapping PR, so I am holding off on publishing a competing PR. The alternative refuses normalized empty profiles before either global or repository-pin writes and directs users to Could a maintainer confirm whether confirmation-based apply here is the preferred behavior, and review #1349's approval status (currently |
…opulated apply dialog (Gentleman-Programming#1349) Close the two unresolved CodeRabbit Major findings on PR Gentleman-Programming#1384. 1. The populated-apply diff now runs against the effective current routing: saved global routing merged with the materialized routes (agent frontmatter, subagents.json model_profiles) of every discoverable agent the saved routing is silent about, via a new readGlobalEffectiveModelConfigFromAsync helper reused by readEffectiveModelConfigAsync. Approval can no longer clear a materialized-only route the dialog never named, or claim routes already match when a clear would happen. 2. When a populated profile carries an orchestrator entry, both the readable and unreadable dialog variants disclose that approval sets the orchestrator in settings.json and attempts a live-session switch, with the same wording as the orchestrator-only dialog. 3. The unreadable-authority disclosure, empty and orchestrator-only dialogs, decline semantics, and repo-pinned silence are unchanged.

Thanks for the thorough check and for holding off the competing PR, @dnlrsls, that is exactly the kind of coordination that saves us a duplicated effort. On the behavior question: my reading is that confirmation-based apply is the right call for #1349 because the destructive path is irreversible today (plain Your alternative work is mostly orthogonal to this guard and I think we want it either way:

In the populated-apply branch, when the computed diff has no replaced, cleared, or added routes and the profile's orchestrator entry (when present) already equals the current settings.json selection, skip ctx.ui.confirm and apply, disclosing the no-op with an informational notice. 2. Any routing change, any orchestrator change, or an unreadable routing authority keeps the confirmation exactly as Gentleman-Programming#1384 defined it. 3. Add no-op regressions (no routes + no orchestrator, routes matching with an already-set orchestrator) and an orchestrator-differs regression that still confirms and aborts. Verified: focused profile suites 189/189, typecheck 187 baseline diagnostics with no regressions, git diff --check.

Guarded Empty Profile Apply:
In

Because an empty profile has zero routing entries (Object.keys(normalized).length === 0),writeModelConfigAsync()overwrote~/.pi/gentle-ai/models.jsonwith{}andwithOmittedAgentsClearedAsync()cleared every discoverable subagent in~/.pi/agent/subagents.json, silently destroying the operator's model routing configuration with no recovery path.Explicit User Confirmation:
Now, when applying a profile with zero routing entries (
Object.keys(normalized).length === 0),runProfilesPanelAction()prompts for explicit confirmation viactx.ui.confirm("Apply empty profile?") naming the destructive effect: replacing global routing with{}and returning every agent to inherit its default model.Safe Abortion on Decline:
