The window could be started, but it could not be pointed anywhere: a provider,
a model and a key only came in on the command line. The gear in the header now
opens a dialog that changes all three on the engine's live config.
AgentCore (app/src/core/AgentCore.*):
- providers(): the engine's preset table (cst_provider_count/at), with base
URL, the remembered or preset model, whether a key exists and where it comes
from (cst_creds_resolve: "saved", or the environment variable), the preset's
key variable and the source ("built-in" / "user"). A key is read into a local
buffer only to answer "is there one"; it never leaves the C++ side.
- modelChoices(provider): the provider's own list (cst_provider_models), the
fetched cache (cst_ps_cached -- which writes through its out-parameters, so
it takes a real int, not NULL: passing one cost a segfault) and the
remembered pick. No network. modelInfo() is cst_model_info + its "200K ·
text only" label; usage() is cst_agent_usage for the session and the turn.
- useProvider(provider, model, key) -> "" or a reason: a different provider
goes through cst_ps_switch_provider() (the key is verified against /models
before it is saved; offline it is kept unverified and the header says so),
a key for the current one through cst_ps_set_key(), and the model is
remembered in settings.json. syncConfig() takes the engine's config back
over the app's copy, so provider/model/approval read correctly afterwards.
The engine's session is never touched by a switch.
- open() no longer starts with an empty provider: it takes the one the engine
used last (settings.json), else the built-in default, plus that provider's
base URL and model. Without this the first turn could not be sent at all and
no entry in the dialog was "in use".
QML (app/qml/SettingsDialog.qml, Main.qml):
- a modal dialog with the themed surface the other dialogs use (the Basic
style's light panel washes out the dark theme), the provider list with its
key state, a model field with the info label and clickable candidates, a
password field for a new key, the session's token counters, and a note that
reports what the last "Use this" answered.
Tests: 8 more checks -- the presets are readable, an unknown provider is
refused, the counters are readable, the gear opens the panel, the rows exist, a
model typed into the field reaches the engine, the note says so, Close puts the
dialog away. 36 checks pass. --uitest also points XDG_CONFIG_HOME at its
scratch directory now, so a run cannot rewrite the user's settings.json or
credentials, and CST_APP_SHOT writes shot.png at the end plus
shot-settings.png while the dialog is open (that is how the dialog above was
reviewed on a machine without a screen).
Verified: 36/36 UI checks, --selftest, ctest cst-app-selftest, make check rc=0,
and a screenshot of the dialog.
Version 0.8.10.
