Merge profile fields before returning a routing entry.
If gentle-ai-worker has { effort: "high" } and worker has { model: "anthropic/claude-3-7-sonnet" }, this helper returns only the exact entry. Both materialized routing readers then omit the alias model, although resolveAgentProfile selects it. Normalize both entries and select each field in exact-name-then-alias order. Add a split-field case for both readers.

Add short-name phase tests.
DELEGATED_PHASES now maps worker, verify, and explore for subagent_run, but the inference and interactive-hook tests only exercise gentle-ai-* names. Add assertions for all three short names in both paths.

Thanks @carlosmoradev for picking this up so quickly, and for the TDD trail. I agree #2196 describes a real defect, but I think the alias treats the symptom and adds a new risk, so I'd like to propose a different fix before this lands.
Why I'd rather not alias names
- The
gentle-ai-prefix is there to keep packaged agents apart from user agents, andworkeris a real, separate agent for many users. The orchestrator itself names them as two writers ("bounded writer (gentle-ai-workerorworker)",assets/orchestrator.md:49). With the alias, routing meant for one can apply to the other. Dispatch changes too:subagent_runwithagent: "worker"launchesgentle-ai-workerwhen noworkerexists. - When both keys exist,
resolveAgentProfiletakes the model from one entry and the thinking from the other, a per-field mix that #1064 set out to remove. - It does not solve the class of problem: a key still has to match letter by letter, now with a second spelling. A role keyed
implementerortrabajadoris ignored just as silently. - No packaged agent was ever named
worker,exploreorverify(no rename inassets/agents), so there are no legacy stores to support.
What I think the fix is
The issue already points at it: normalizeProfilesFile() and parseAgentsConfig() never report keys that name no discovered agent. The defect is the silence. I'd suggest:
- Validate profile and
model_profileskeys against the discovered agents, and warn (not reject) on unknown ones, since a key may target a repo-local agent: "workermatches no agent here; did you meangentle-ai-worker?" - Surface it where users look: the
/gentle:profilespanel (mark the row, offer to rename the key) and the launch, now that #2184 shows the resolved source on the task card. - Keep omitted roles valid: a profile that leaves out an agent still means "inherit", so show those as inherit rather than as errors.
This also covers session-bound and frozen profiles, which resolve through the same resolveAgentProfile.
Happy to help with it, or to pair on splitting it into a validation slice and a panel slice. @barbatdev, this is the design call I'd want your view on before more code goes in.

Thanks both, this is a maintainer decision and I am making it: I side with Matrak's review. The alias fixes the symptom but breaks the reason the prefix exists, which is precisely not to collide with user agents. If someone owns their own @carlosmoradev, would you rework the fix along the lines Matrak proposed? Validate role labels against the discovered agents, surface a suggestion in the panel and at launch ("worker did not match any agent, did you mean gentle-ai-worker?"), and keep omitted roles inheriting as today. Matrak offered to help and knows the resolver inside out, so please do not hesitate to pair on it. If sizing the validation makes it much bigger than this slice, tell us and we will decide whether the alias ships as a clearly-labeled stopgap or the slice waits, but that is a fallback, not the fix. |

Thanks for the work here, Carlos. After Matrak's review and my call on the thread, we are taking the rework in-house: validating role labels against the discovered agents with a did-you-mean suggestion, instead of the alias approach. Your tests for the worker/gentle-ai-worker case carry over nicely as fixtures, and the diagnosis in this PR was spot on about the silent-fallback problem. If you want to take a slice of the rework once the validator lands, happy to hand you part of it. |
Closes #2196
Problem
Model routing configured in
subagents.json(model_profiles) and in the/gentle:profilesstore (profiles.json) is silently ignored when a role key does not match the agent's frontmatter name exactly.The packaged subagents declare
name: gentle-ai-explore,name: gentle-ai-worker, andname: gentle-ai-verify, but operators and UI configurations naturally key them by their canonical short roles (worker,explore,verify).resolveAgentProfile()inlib/agents-config.tsperforms an exact lookup onconfig.modelProfiles[agent.name], which returnsundefinedforgentle-ai-*agents. Consequently, subagents launch without--modeland silently fall back to Pi's globaldefaultModel(the orchestrator's model).Solution
