From cdf42fe00103e2e229130230203ab2493ff31802 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Boucher Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:59:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix: prevent model config bleed between concurrent GSD instances (#650) (#652) Two fixes for the model configuration bleeding between simultaneous GSD instances that share the same global settings.json. ## Root Cause 1. `setDefaultModelAndProvider()` always persisted to `~/.gsd/agent/settings.json` (global), so when either instance's interactive mode changed models (via Ctrl+P or /model), it overwrote the other instance's saved default. 2. When auto-mode dispatched a new unit (after context wipe), if no per-unit-type model preference was configured, the session picked up the default from the now-contaminated global settings file. ## Fix 1: Project-scoped model persistence (settings-manager.ts) `setDefaultModelAndProvider()`, `setDefaultModel()`, and `setDefaultProvider()` now persist to project-level settings (`.pi/settings.json`) when a project settings file exists, falling back to global only when no project context is available. This prevents concurrent instances from overwriting each other's model choice. Added `hasProjectSettingsFile()` helper to detect project context. ## Fix 2: Auto-mode model capture (auto.ts) Captures the session's model at auto-mode start (`autoModeStartModel`). At each unit dispatch, if no model preference is configured for the unit type, the captured model is re-applied with `persist: false`. This ensures each auto-mode session maintains its own model regardless of what other instances write to the shared settings file. ## Tests 3 new tests covering: - Project settings file isolates model from global - Two projects have independent model configs - autoModeStartModel concept prevents model drift All 448 existing tests pass.
