Scope prompt-box models to the machine the chat runs on - #1086
Conversation
A Work tab unions chats from every machine on the account, so the machine a chat runs on is frequently not the one the project tab is bound to. Model availability was already pinned per machine (aiDiscoveryCache keys by projectRoot + binding), but the runtime model catalog was not: it was fetched with no pin and cached in one process-global singleton. Because ModelPicker replaces the pin-scoped availableModelIds with the catalog's availability set whenever a catalog is loaded, a composer for a chat on machine B offered machine A's models — its ollama/LM Studio endpoints, its installed cursor-agent, its opencode inventory — and machine A's thinking-level ladders. Nothing cleared that singleton when the bound machine changed either, so it also went stale after a plain machine switch. Route chat.modelCatalog through the same optional runtime pin agentChat.models already takes, and bucket the catalog, its per-provider freshness and its parsed descriptors by binding key. The composer derives that pin from the machine shown in the prompt box and passes it to every chat-surface picker: the composer, both handoff pickers, and the orchestrator model-selection card. A same-machine chat passes no pin, so it keeps the identical call shape, cache bucket and local-IPC fallback it had — no extra probes for the common case. A foreign-machine chat costs one cached read over its already-open runtime channel, and provider refreshes now probe the machine that will actually run the model instead of the wrong one. There is deliberately no fallback from one machine's descriptor bucket to another's: a miss falls through to the static registry, because correct-but-generic beats confident-and-wrong. iOS already keys its catalog cache by host identity, and ADE Web is single-machine, so both are unaffected.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds optional runtime pins to model-catalog APIs. It partitions catalog state by machine scope and propagates the selected scope through chat panes, composers, model pickers, reasoning-effort pickers, handoffs, and related tests. ChangesMachine-scoped model catalogs
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The PR scopes model catalogs to the machine running each chat, but current code can show reasoning options or model classifications from the wrong machine and can restore stale catalog data after a scope reset. The impact is bounded to chat model-selection behavior, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these correctness issues. Possibly related PRs

…n, and drop late catalog writes for evicted buckets CodeRabbit, both verified against the code: - The two handoff ReasoningEffortPickers read the pane's published modelCatalogScopeKey state while their sibling ModelPicker reads the freshly derived composerModelRuntimePin, so for one render after a machine change the pair could resolve tiers from different machines. composerModelCatalogScopeKey is in scope at both call sites; use it. - A catalog fetch is async, so its bucket can be evicted (8-scope cap) or reset before the response lands, and rememberRuntimeCatalog would recreate it. The data was never wrong (a response always carries the machine it was fetched for), but it resurrected a machine the window had stopped tracking. A fetch now reserves its bucket and presents that token on write; a stale token returns the catalog for display without touching the cache.

The bug
A Work tab unions chats from every machine on the account, so the machine a chat runs on is frequently not the one the project tab is bound to. Set the global machine to A, open a thread that lives on B, and the prompt box offered A's models — and A's thinking levels.
Model availability was already pinned per machine:
AgentChatPaneresolves the chat's machine viachatMachineRouter.pinForLaneand fetchesaiStatus/agentChat.modelswith that pin, andaiDiscoveryCache.tskeys by(projectRoot, pin). The runtime model catalog was never brought along:preload.ts—agentChat.modelCatalogtook no pin and routed to the globally bound machine, unlike its siblingagentChat.models.runtimeCatalogCache.ts— one process-globalsharedRuntimeCatalog, no machine key, and nothing cleared it when the project binding changed (so it also went stale after a plain machine switch).ModelPicker.tsx— when a catalog is loaded and the surface isn't constrained,availableSetdiscards the pin-scopedavailableModelIdsand uses the catalog's availability set instead.The catalog is exactly the machine-specific part: localhost ollama / LM Studio endpoints, the installed
cursor-agent, the opencode inventory.The fix
Same rule the rest of the surface already follows — bucket by binding key, route by pin.
modelCatalogtakes the optional pinmodelsalready takes. The action payload is unchanged; the pin only selects the transport target.Cost
A same-machine chat passes
pin: null: identical call shape, identical cache bucket, preload's local-IPC fallback intact — zero extra IPC, now enforced by a test asserting exactly one catalog call with exactly one argument. A foreign-machine chat costs one cached read over its already-open runtime channel, only when its picker opens. Provider refreshes (which spawncursor-agent/ opencode probes) now hit the machine that will actually run the model instead of the wrong one, so this can only reduce wasted probing.Verification
Every regression test here was verified to fail with its fix reverted — including three defects
/qualitycaught in the fix itself (a descriptor fallback that re-created the leak, a render that filed machine A's descriptors under machine B, and a popover handler that re-seeded from the bound machine).SyncService.swift:12056); ADE Web is single-machine and rejects foreign pins via the existing guardNot verified: real traffic between two paired Macs — no second machine is online on this account, so the routing contract is proven at the preload boundary rather than over the wire.
