fix(profiles): skip the apply confirmation when the profile matches current routing - #1699
Conversation
…urrent routing (#1683) Applying a populated profile whose effective routing diff is empty and that moves no orchestrator still asked for confirmation, so re-selecting the active profile trained users to approve the dialog without reading it, weakening the guard on the destructive cases #1349/PR #1384 introduced. 1. 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 #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.

…n invalid thinking level An invalid stored defaultThinkingLevel is dropped from the orchestrator entry by readOrchestratorSettings, but applyOrchestratorSettings would delete the key and rewrite the file, so the no-op skip could mutate settings.json without confirmation (adversarial QA finding F1). Treat a present-but-invalid thinking level as an unprovable no-op and keep the dialog. Also pin the confirm-kept direction for an unreadable settings.json with a model-bearing orchestrator entry, and assert no live switch happens on the orchestrator-equal skip. Verified: populated pattern 14/14, profile suites 192/192, typecheck baseline clean, git diff --check.
… another orchestrator The no-op skip compared the profile with settings.json only, but the apply also re-asserts the orchestrator on the live session: a session already moved to another model or thinking level mid-session was yanked back with no confirmation (CodeRabbit Major, adversarial F4). Include the live session's current model and thinking level in the no-op decision; an unknown live state cannot prove a no-op and keeps the dialog. Verified: populated pattern 15/15, profile suites 193/193, typecheck baseline clean, git diff --check.

Keep confirmation when live thinking is invalid.
When the profile and settings.json agree on the orchestrator model and both omit thinking, an invalid result from live.getThinkingLevel() becomes undefined. If the live model matches, the no-op comparison can pass and skip confirmation despite unknown live thinking. Return undefined from the IIFE for an invalid level so the no-op guard keeps confirmation.
Suggested fix
- return { model: `${ctx.model.provider}/${ctx.model.id}`, thinking: isThinkingLevel(thinking) ? thinking : undefined };
+ if (!isThinkingLevel(thinking)) return undefined;
+ return { model: `${ctx.model.provider}/${ctx.model.id}`, thinking };📝 Committable suggestion

Do not claim that applying the profile changed nothing.
This branch continues to materialize the profile. If a discovered agent’s materialized profile differs from its computed profile, the apply can update it, and the later notice can report agents updated. Say that confirmation is unnecessary because the global routing and, when present, orchestrator already match.
Suggested wording
- `Profile "${result.name}" already matches the current global routing${orchestratorEntry !== undefined ? " and orchestrator" : ""}; applying it changed nothing.`,
