fix(server): thread titles use the thread's own provider and model - #36513
Titles default to the thread's own provider and model, with an optional Title model override (filtered by managed provider allow-lists); a disabled selected text generation instance falls back to an enabled one; the context-handoff header is stripped from title input. Stands alone: a thread on a provider that cannot generate text already falls back on main.
Titles always used the global text generation model, which defaults to
the Codex instance. With that instance disabled, every title failed.
- Titles default to the thread's own provider and model; an optional
Title model setting (Settings → Threads, Advanced) pins one model.
A managed provider allow-list clears a pinned model it does not allow.
- Text generation treats a disabled selected instance as unusable and
falls back to another enabled provider, so commit, PR, branch and
review generation benefit too.
- The context-handoff header is stripped from title input.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Text generation now falls back from disabled providers and recognizes that Kiro cannot generate application text. The change uses existing provider-eligibility safeguards and leaves product default settings unchanged.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Kiro rejects every app text generation request, but its snapshots did not
say so, so the text generation dispatcher picked it for a Kiro thread's
title instead of falling back to an enabled provider.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Kiro snapshots now report no text-generation support. Text generation treats a disabled selected provider as unusable, uses fallback selection, or returns an error if the provider remains selected.
Kiro snapshots set supportsTextGeneration to false. The readiness test asserts this value.
Disabled-provider selection and fallback apps/server/src/textGeneration/TextGeneration.ts, apps/server/src/textGeneration/CodexTextGeneration.test.ts, docs/user/text-generation.md
Disabled selected providers enter fallback selection. If the disabled provider remains selected, generation returns an error. The preflight test and documentation describe this behavior.
Thread titles use the Text generation model again. A disabled selected provider now falls back to another enabled provider or fails with a message that points to the correct setting. No open merge-blocking risk remains in the reviewed changes.

Explanation
The title names the main change: thread title generation now uses the thread's own provider and model. It matches the changeset summary and the PR objectives, which describe title generation defaulting to the thread's provider and model. The title is 66 characters and follows the conventional commit format. The title does not mention the disabled-provider fallback or the header stripping, but it does not need to cover every detail.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the purpose of the change. It lists the main behaviors: title defaults to the thread's provider and model, an optional Title model override filtered by managed provider allow-lists, fallback for a disabled selected text generation instance, and stripping the context-handoff header. It also references the superseded PR and notes this is layer 1 of 2. It does not follow the repository template. It has no Problem section with expected behavior or reproduction steps, no Change section explaining how the fix works, no Scope section linking an issue or explaining why no issue is needed, and no Verification section describing tests or manual checks. The description is therefore largely incomplete against the template, so the check fails.
Resolution
Rewrite the description using the repository template sections. Add: (1) Problem: describe the bug, expected behavior, and reproduction steps or environment. (2) Change: explain how the fix works, including the title model override, the disabled-provider fallback, and the header stripping, and why these belong in the same PR. (3) Scope: link the issue that shows the bug, or explain why a small fix needs no issue, and link the maintainer request if one exists. (4) Verification: list the focused tests or manual checks run, the observed results, and anything not checked. Also state the model and harness used if an agent did the work.

Remove handoff text from inherited title context too.
For a fork, forkSource formats inherited messages at Line 139 without withoutContextHandoff. Line 216 then passes that history to title generation. A handoff header in the parent therefore still reaches the title prompt, even when this transformation removes it from the fork's own messages.
Apply the same transformation to inherited messages before formatting them. Extend the existing fork test with a handoff message.

Direct title failures to the title-model setting.
When title generation uses a disabled thread provider, this error tells the user to change Text generation. However, ThreadTitleRegenerationService.ts at Line 218 reads threadTitleModelSelection or the thread model, not textGenerationModelSelection.
Selecting a working text generator in the general setting therefore does not repair this title request. For generateThreadTitle, direct the user to Title model or to enable the thread provider.

Use the text-generation option builder and validator for the title model picker.
The picker and its save check use the chat-model option list. That list does not exclude models with supportsTextGeneration === false. A user can pin one of those models. The generation path in TextGeneration.ts then selects a fallback model instead, so the pinned title model is never used.
Pass the text-generation builder to the picker and enable the text-generation flag in the validator:

Run the title-model override through the availability check.
The switch enables the override with a direct updateSettings call. setModel checks modelDisabledReason across every scoped environment first. In an all or environment scope, the switch writes the representative environment's selection to every connected environment. An environment that does not have that provider instance can therefore store a pinned title model it cannot resolve. Title generation then uses that pinned value instead of the thread's own selection. Route the enable path through setModel so the same check applies:

Titles moved to the thread's own model, which overrode users who chose a
text generator for titles while settings still said it wrote them. The
disabled-instance fallback already fixes the reported failure, so titles
go back to the Text generation model and the Title model override goes
with them.
The context-handoff strip is removed too: the stored text has no
reliable boundary between inherited context and the user's request, so
it could drop the request itself.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
in the real app the problem is still there, and the rework changed nothing:
No code change. The scenario does not test what this branch fixes. It disabled every real provider and ran the turn on 'Replay (dev)', which ProviderInstanceRegistryHydration.ts registers with driver acpRegistry. ACP Registry instances report no text generation on main and on this branch; making them generate text is the separate stacked layer (factory/pr-34725-a1794634503-2-acp-text-generation), held back for its own maintainer decision on ACP execution. With Codex (the default Text generation model) disabled and no other enabled provider able to generate text, the fallback has no candidate, so the title correctly stays on the truncated first message on both commits. This branch fixes a narrower case: the selected text generation instance is disabled while another enabled provider can generate text. Main sends the request to the disabled instance and the title fails; this branch falls back to the enabled provider. The 'disabled' row of the text generation preflight test covers this; it fails on main and passes here. Kiro snapshots also report no text generation, so Kiro is skipped by the dispatcher instead of chosen and failing. A scenario that proves this fix needs at least one enabled provider that can generate text (for example OpenCode, Pi or Grok, which this VM reaches through the hub), with Codex disabled and the default Text generation model left in place.
