fix(web): re-picking the current model in Settings keeps its traits - #35612
Picking the model that a Settings model picker already shows replaces its traits, such as reasoning effort. The pick saves the model without options, so the effort beside the picker falls back to the model's default.
To reproduce: open Settings › Threads › Model, set the effort to High, open the model picker and pick the same model. The effort drops back to the default.
Change
The default, fallback, text generation, source control writer, review guide, voice cleanup and text generator task pickers save the selection the row shows when its model is picked again. A re-pick still pins an automatic default and still makes a mixed scope match. Picking another model or instance behaves as before.
One behavior to be aware of: in a mixed scope, a re-pick of the shown model saves that environment's traits to every environment in the scope. Before, it cleared them everywhere.
Scope
A small fix for an obvious bug, so there is no issue. This replaces #16572, which was closed as stale with the note to open a fresh PR from current main.
Settings only. This PR first also covered the composer; #24872 has since fixed the composer on main, so the rebase dropped that part.
Web only; desktop renders the same UI. Scheduled tasks already keep the saved selection, so they do not change.
Not covered: a selection stored as antigravity-default still loses its traits on a re-pick, because the picker shows it under its concrete model.
Verification
packages/shared/src/model.test.ts covers the helper: a re-pick returns the current selection, another model or instance returns a selection without options.
Web and shared typecheck, and lint and format on the changed files, pass on the rebased head.
Settings › Threads › Model in a local dev build, headless Chromium at 1280×800, GPT-6-Astra with effort set to High, then GPT-6-Astra picked again. With ProjectDefaultsSettings.tsx as on main the effort resets to Medium; on this branch it stays High. The screenshots were taken before the rebase; the settings change is the same.
Before, main after the re-pick:
After, this branch after the same re-pick:
Not checked in a running app: the other six settings pickers, mixed scopes, desktop, and remote or tunnel connections.

Summary
Shared selection helper and tests packages/shared/src/model.ts, packages/shared/src/model.test.ts
Adds pickModelSelection. It returns the current selection when the instance and model match; otherwise, it returns a selection without options. Tests cover matching picks, changed instances or models, and a null selection.
Default, fallback, review-guide, source-control writer, text-generation, task, and cleanup model pickers use pickModelSelection. Mixed settings pass no current selection.
Re-picking the shown model in a mixed Settings scope still drops its traits, such as reasoning effort, instead of applying them across the scope. Non-mixed picks work as intended. This is a narrow, easily fixed gap, so the change is mergeable with that follow-up.

Explanation
The title names the main change: re-picking the model already shown in a Settings model picker keeps its traits such as reasoning effort. It follows the conventional commit style and is specific. The title covers the core fix, and the scope in the PR objectives (default, fallback, text generation, and other pickers) falls under the Settings umbrella.

Explanation
The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, plus a reproduction path. The Problem section explains the bug and gives steps to reproduce it. The Change section names the affected pickers and states the mixed-scope behavior change. The Scope section explains why no issue is linked, cites the replaced PR #16572, and notes the composer part was dropped. The Verification section lists tests, typecheck, and a manual headless Chromium check with before and after screenshots, and it lists what was not checked. The description does not link an issue for the bug, but the template allows a stated reason for small obvious fixes. The model and harness line at the end is present, as the template asks.

Retry an unsaved pick when re-picking the displayed model.
When the save from applyThreadModelPick fails, the explicit draft keeps the picked model. Re-picking that model takes the same-model early return. applyThreadModelPick is then not called, so the failed save is not retried, even though the error message tells the user to try again.
Call applyThreadModelPick on the same-model path. The hook returns early when the draft has no unsaved explicit pick. It also does not rewrite the draft or its options.

Declining this one. I tried exactly this change before opening the PR and took it out.
applyThreadModelPick sends the raw draft pick (draft.modelSelectionByProvider[draft.activeProvider]), while this guard compares against the selection the composer shows, which is resolved against the catalog. The two can differ. Example: a pick of a custom model fails to save, the custom model is then removed in Settings, and the composer shows the catalog fallback. Picking that fallback would take the same-model path and resend the removed model, not the one that was clicked.
Making the retry safe needs a check that the unsaved pick is the selection on screen, which is more than this fix should carry. The unsaved pick is not lost without it: it stays in the draft and goes out with the next message.
@f4llenz You’re right: my proposed retry is unsafe. applyThreadModelPick sends the raw draft selection, which can differ from the displayed selection. I retract that suggestion and accept leaving a safe retry outside this PR.
One clarification: the normal message path sends the displayed selection, not necessarily the raw draft pick (useComposerSend.ts, Line 1304). If the composer shows a fallback, the next message uses that fallback.
@coderabbitai Declining the nitpick on ChatView.modelPick.browser.test.tsx:57 (assert that the option stays applied after the re-pick).
The re-pick path returns before any draft write, so the only way it could change options is the write the test already rules out: on an existing thread every explicit draft write is followed by thread.model-selection.set, and the test expects exactly one, for GPT-5.5. Without the guard the test fails with a second command for GPT-5.4.
An option assertion would not separate the fixed code from the broken code in this fixture. Setting the effort in the composer also stores it as the remembered option for that model, so the old code would reload the same value on the re-pick and the assertion would pass either way. Telling them apart needs remembered options that differ from the active ones, which means seeding the draft store. That is more setup than this change warrants.
For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@f4llenz Thanks for the explanation. The test checks that the re-pick does not send a model-selection command. I agree that the proposed option assertion would not distinguish the old behavior in this fixture. I withdraw the suggestion.
Picking the model a settings picker already shows saved it without options, so its reasoning effort fell back to the default. The default, fallback, text generation, source control writer, review guide, voice cleanup and text generator pickers now keep the shown selection on a re-pick.

With several projects selected and their model settings differing, the picker shows "Mixed" but its selection is the representative project's. Re-picking that model must not copy the representative's traits onto every project.

Preserve the shown selection's traits in mixed scopes.
If environments use the same instance and model with different effort values, these mixed flags are true. Passing null makes pickModelSelection discard the shown environment's options. Re-picking then submits an option-free selection across the scope.
Pass selection for the default picker and the representative stored fallback selection for the fallback picker, including when mixed. The final PR objective requires mixed-scope re-picks to apply the shown environment's traits.

Keep representative traits when resolving mixed writer and review-guide settings.
If environments have different traits for the same instance and model, these expressions pass null. pickModelSelection then removes the representative selection's options from the submitted update.
Pass reviewGuideSelection and activeSelection even when mixed. This makes re-picking apply the shown environment's traits across the scope, as the final PR objective requires. Picks of another instance or model will still create a fresh selection.

Real web app in Chromium, 1280×800 CSS pixels / DPR 2, light theme, fresh isolated data on each commit. No agent turns or test assertions are used as evidence.
On both commits: configure Codex GPT-6-Astra with High effort, open its model picker, and click the same checkmarked model on the same provider instance. Reload the main Model row before re-picking to confirm persistence. Repeat in all seven Settings paths; enable the separate review-guide, writer and cleanup models first. For the text-generator task, re-pick in Add generator → Use it, finish the wizard, and inspect the corresponding Threads text-generation setting.
Base resets High to Medium in all seven paths; head retains High. Each cell links the configured High state and embeds the result after re-picking.
Mixed checks use Astra with High on one checkout/environment and Extra High on the other. Selecting all shows Mixed; picking Astra yields Medium on both commits. Default, review-guide and writer checks use two checkouts of the same synthetic project; fallback uses two isolated environments because that setting is environment-scoped.
Changing Astra / High to Luna yields Medium Fast on both commits. Restoring Astra / High and picking Astra from Codex Second yields Medium on both commits, with provider badge CO changing to CS. Thus changed selections still clear traits.
