Keep the project creation modal focused on basic project details and Git cloning, without loading model config data. Move project model selection into a collapsed Advanced Settings accordion on the edit screen, and reduce the project LLM UI to a global preset selector plus the existing tune-icon preset editor shortcut.
Add LLM preset selection to project create/edit flows, backed by _model_config scoped project config. Support global, project, and combined preset APIs with explicit metadata while preserving plain YAML preset files. Copy selected preset chat/utility settings into project-scoped config, keep embedding settings from the effective config, and document/test the new project model config paths.
