Alessandro 9e5fd188e2 Finish scoped Agent Editor profile workflows
Add per-scope availability, duplication, active-profile status, and inline project selection while keeping the profile switcher synchronized with runtime state.

Reconcile unavailable profiles at explicit disable, deletion, project-transition, and context-creation boundaries; polish validation, prompt layout, deletion, and completion states; and extend focused backend and WebUI coverage.

context_utils.py DOX

Purpose

  • Own the context_utils.py helper module.
  • This module provides context managers/utilities for current context binding.
  • Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with context_utils.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

  • context_utils.py owns the runtime implementation.
  • context_utils.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
  • Top-level functions:
  • use_context(lock: ThreadLockType, ctxid: str, create_if_not_exists: bool=...)

Runtime Contracts

  • Helper modules own reusable framework APIs and must preserve public callers unless all callers, tests, and docs are updated together.
  • Update this file whenever public functions, classes, persistence behavior, path/security assumptions, side effects, or cross-module contracts change.
  • Observed side-effect areas: WebSocket state, settings/state persistence.
  • Imported dependency areas include: threading, typing.

Key Concepts

  • Newly constructed contexts reconcile their active profile against Global availability before returning. Existing context lookups return the stored context unchanged; explicit profile and project transitions own any repair.
  • Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: AgentContext.use, AgentContext.first, AgentContext, Exception, initialize_agent, projects.get_context_project_name, projects.reconcile_agent_profile.
  • Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

  • Preserve public helper APIs used by core code and plugins unless every caller is updated.
  • Keep path, auth, secret, persistence, network, and subprocess behavior explicit and bounded.
  • Prefer adding cohesive helper functions here only when behavior is reused across modules.

Verification

  • Run targeted tests for changed helper behavior; run security regressions for auth, filesystem, WebSocket, tunnel, upload, or secret-handling helpers.
  • tests/test_projects.py verifies that lookup is read-only while context creation reconciles once.
