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.

Review comment at @extensions/gentle-ai.ts at line 4217:
After ctx.ui.confirm approves the routing diff, re-read the global routing state
and compare it with the state used to calculate the diff; if it changed,
recalculate the diff and require confirmation before applying. Coordinate the
final state check with the write so another session cannot change routing
between validation and apply.

# PR #1384 Populated-Apply Confirmation

## Objective

Close the maintainer-flagged gap on PR #1384: applying a *populated* profile
globally still replaces every materialized route without confirmation
(`Ctrl+S` → `enter` sequence from #1349). Global applies now always confirm,
naming what changes before anything is written.

## Decisions (operator, 2026-09-30)

- Behavior: confirm **every** global profile apply. Populated profiles get a
dialog naming replaced routes, cleared agents, and added agents. The
empty / orchestrator-only dialogs from commit `efc7b52a` stay specialized.
- Repo-pinned applies stay silent (repo-scoped, no global state touched).
- Delivery: local only. No push, no PR comment unless the operator later
authorizes it.

## Scope

- `extensions/gentle-ai.ts`: extend the `case "apply"` guard — read the
current global routing via `readModelRoutingAuthorityAsync` before the
prompt, compute a diff (replaced / cleared / added agent routes), prompt on
every global apply, abort on decline before any write or live switch.
- `tests/gentle-ai.test.ts`: flip the "nonempty global apply never asks for
confirmation" assertion; add populated-apply regressions (decline preserves
all four surfaces byte-identically; confirm applies and reports).

## Out of scope

- #1557 key rebinding (`a`) reconciliation — follow-up when that branch lands.
- Snapshot/undo of successful applies (jonathanludena's general case).
- `odd/tasks/pr-1384-review-fixes.md` cleanup — operator decision at delivery.

## Tasks

- [x] T1 — RED: populated-apply regression (prompt shown, decline preserves
models.json/subagents.json/store/settings byte-identically and no live
switch). Observed: `confirmCalls.length 0 !== 1` on both new tests and on
the flipped orchestrator-persistence assertion.
- [x] T2 — Implement the universal confirmation with route diff.
- [x] T3 — GREEN: focused profile tests (37 pass), full
`tests/gentle-ai.test.ts` (96 pass), typecheck (187 diagnostics, baseline
unchanged), `git diff --check` clean.
- [ ] T4 — Work-unit commit (local only) and delivery report.

## CodeRabbit closure round (2026-10-02, both Major threads)

- Finding 1 (materialized-only routes): the populated dialog now diffs against
the effective current routing — saved global routing merged with materialized
routes via the new `readGlobalEffectiveModelConfigFromAsync` helper (reuses
`listDiscoverableAgentsAsync` / `readMaterializedRoutingEntryAsync`, same as
`readEffectiveModelConfigAsync`, which now delegates to it). `models.json`
alone hid routes the approval actually clears. Unreadable-authority
disclosure branch unchanged and still authoritative.
- Finding 2 (orchestrator effects): when a populated profile has an
`orchestrator` entry, both the readable and unreadable populated messages
append "set the configured orchestrator entry in settings.json, and attempt
to switch this session to that orchestrator model" (same wording as the
orchestrator-only dialog; never an unconditional switch promise). No
orchestrator entry → messages unchanged.
- T7 — RED observed: 4 new tests fail — dialog claimed "its agent routes
already match the current global routing" while approval would clear
helper's materialized route (2 tests); readable and unreadable populated
messages lacked the settings.json / live-switch disclosure (2 tests).
- T8 — GREEN: focused profile tests 43 pass, full `tests/gentle-ai.test.ts`
102 pass, typecheck 187 diagnostics (baseline unchanged), `git diff --check`
clean. Confirm-path regression added (materialized-only route cleared on
approval); existing message assertions untouched.

## QA R4 closure (2026-09-30)

- Finding: with an invalid routing authority the apply guard fell back to
`currentRouting = {}`, so the populated dialog labeled every profile route
`(added)` and never disclosed the replace/clear-to-inherit effect.
- Fix: when `readModelRoutingAuthorityAsync` is not `valid` at prompt time, the
populated dialog uses an alternative message disclosing the unreadable
current routing and that applying replaces global routing so every existing
agent route may be replaced or cleared back to inherit. Guard structure,
decline semantics, empty/orchestrator-only dialogs, and repo-pinned silence
unchanged.
- T5 — RED observed: `AssertionError ... the dialog must disclose that the
current global routing is unreadable` with actual message ending
`worker: openai/alpha (added). Continue?` on both new tests.
- T6 — GREEN: focused profile tests 39 pass, full `tests/gentle-ai.test.ts`
98 pass, typecheck 187 diagnostics (baseline), `git diff --check` clean.

## Constraints

- Strict TDD: observe RED before changing production code.
- Technical artifacts in English; dialog copy stays consistent with the
existing `efc7b52a` style.
- Allowed edit surfaces: `extensions/gentle-ai.ts`, `tests/gentle-ai.test.ts`
(plus this task doc).

# PR #1384 Review Fixes

## Objective

Close the verified CodeRabbit review finding on PR #1384 (`#1349` empty profile wipe guard) by requiring confirmation when applying orchestrator-only profiles that lack agent routes.

## Problem

Commit `b0a590be` checked `Object.keys(normalized).length === 0` to prompt for confirmation. However, a profile that contains only an orchestrator entry (`orchestrator: { model: "..." }`) has `Object.keys(normalized).length === 1`. Applying it skipped confirmation, replaced global routing with the orchestrator-only config, and wiped materialized routes for all omitted agents in `subagents.json`.

## Scope

- In `extensions/gentle-ai.ts`, check whether any agent routes exist (excluding the reserved orchestrator key) before applying a profile.
- Add regression coverage in `tests/gentle-ai.test.ts` for orchestrator-only profiles.
- Verify typecheck and tests.

## Constraints

- Keep the patch minimal and limited to PR #1384 review findings.
- Technical artifacts remain in English.
- Do not commit, push, or merge without explicit user direction.
- Strict TDD discipline: RED test confirmed before implementation fix.

## Tasks

- [x] **T1 — Guard orchestrator-only profiles against unconfirmed agent route wipes.** Check for absence of agent routes (e.g. `!Object.keys(normalized).some((name) => !isProfileOrchestratorKey(name))`) in the profile apply flow.
- [x] **T2 — Regression tests and typecheck verification.** Verify orchestrator-only profile application prompts for confirmation and aborts when declined.
- [x] **T3 — Correct confirmation copy and strengthen safety assertions.** Implementation and independent nan QA complete: dialog distinguishes empty/orchestrator-only profiles and explains settings plus attempted live-session change. Decline preserves models, subagents, profile store, settings and live switches; confirmation clears omitted routes; nonempty/repo-pinned applies do not prompt. Work-unit commit pending explicit user authorization.
- [ ] **T4 — Validate the correction candidate and report delivery readiness.** Run candidate assessment and native review under the enabled user-owned RDD switch. Commit, push and PR merge remain pending explicit user direction.

## QA follow-up (2026-09-30)

The operator accepted independent nan QA findings on target `03ea59771bb7d18adc28f8702890b306bf7d1069`. The confirmation works, but the orchestrator-only message incorrectly promises an empty config and omits settings/live-session effects. Existing tests do not explicitly assert preservation of every affected surface or confirmed omitted-agent clearing.

- Allowed source surfaces: `extensions/gentle-ai.ts`, `tests/gentle-ai.test.ts`.
- Route: delegated `gentle-ai-worker`; multi-file writer trigger (two nontrivial source/test files).
- TDD: strict, retained from this feature document's Constraints; observe failing copy regression before changing production code, then GREEN.
- Focused runner: `node --experimental-strip-types --test --test-name-pattern="profile" tests/gentle-ai.test.ts`.
- Closure checks: `node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/gentle-ai.test.ts`; `node scripts/check-types.mjs`; `git diff --check`.
- Environment: target requires pi-coding-agent 0.99.1; parent dependencies previously contained 0.85.1. Use matching dependencies in an isolated test worktree, without installing or modifying operator routing.
- Delivery strategy: ask-on-risk; forecast approximately 80–160 additional authored lines, one cohesive correction unit; no size-driven split required yet.
- Local branch `pr-1384` fast-forwarded to updated PR head `03ea5977`; no history rewritten.
- Progress: T3 verified locally. Writer (glm-4.7/high) observed RED for title and conditional live-switch wording, then GREEN. Independent nan/mimo-v2.6-flash QA observed focused 35/35 and full extension 94/94 tests, typecheck 187 baseline diagnostics/no regressions, and full-tree diff check exit 0 using pi 0.99.1 dependencies. Temporary test worktrees removed; parent dependencies and operator config unchanged.
- T4 blocked: native assessment returned schema-incompatible/unassessable, requiring independent verification (completed). Native inspect then stopped with managed_assets_outdated, offering `/home/jbarbat/.local/share/gentle-ai/main/gentle-ai sync --agent pi`. No lineage started and no review approval obtained. Synchronizing installed assets is outside this source-only correction and awaits operator direction.
- Remaining checks: manual TUI Escape/cancel smoke and installed packed-package check not performed; no new CI run because corrections remain local.
- Delivery: no correction commit, push or PR merge executed. Engram mirror unavailable (session already ended). Next step: operator decides whether to sync managed assets for native review and authorize delivery separately.
