Review size: this slice adds 73 changed lines (+56/-17) on top of #1827. GitHub's Files tab shows the cumulative diff with #1827 until it merges; review only commits 74fc63ae, 3f65aeec and 96bb4025.

Summary

Part of #1064, slice 3b-ii: the review follow-ups for the chain, kept out of #1827 so that PR stays under the 400-line budget.

This is PR 4 of 4.

Issue

Part of #1064

PR type

  • Maintenance/tooling (type:chore)

Changes

Commit Change
74fc63ae resolveInheritedProfile reads the pin status once; test counting default-resolver lookups (2 before, 1 after); follow-mode comment.
3f65aeec Launch-seam test for a frozen profile into a foreign repository; comment on the existing no-profile foreign test.
96bb4025 Follow-mode orchestrator wording in docs/readme-reference.md.

Test plan

Verified on top of #1827 and main (833054d9).

  • The lookup-count test fails before the change (2 lookups) and passes after (1).
  • Mutation checks: removing foreignRepository from the launch wiring fails the existing foreign test; making a frozen profile stop applying to foreign targets fails the new one.
  • Focused (session-profile-freeze, gentle-agents, gentle-shell, session-profile-binding, profile-pin, gentle-ai): 694 pass, 0 fail.
  • check-types: no regressions.
  • Native review (RDD): approved, no corrections.

Review follow-ups (non-blocking, from the native review)

  • Suggestion: outside a Git worktree the pin layers are skipped and only the repository declaration is read. This matches the previous behavior, since resolveProfilePin resolves nothing without a worktree.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Sessions now resolve and retain a profile at startup, prioritizing an explicitly selected profile and otherwise using configured defaults. The profile’s routing remains consistent even if defaults change later.
    • Interactive sessions can show a notice when profile defaults have changed. Enable follow mode to use current defaults for future launches; usage refreshes in follow mode also use the latest profile routing.
    • Late-registered usage sources refresh immediately when their provider is covered by the session’s profile routing.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified profile selection, routing, follow mode, and session behavior.

…ession profile

Part 3 of 3 of gentle-shell#1064 slice 3b-ii. Subagent launches, non-git
writer admission, the footer profile label and the Usage provider scope
resolve the session profile through resolveSessionProfile. The parent
session_start freezes p -> P -> G; each launch from a frozen session shows
one drift notice per distinct change of its own directory's defaults.
Unpinned sessions now route through the profiles.json active profile instead
of the materialized stores.

Test fixtures pin GENTLE_PI_CONFIG_HOME to the scratch config home, reset the
freeze between tests, write the writer-admission declaration before
session_start, run the status polling test in follow mode, and switch the
Usage profile through an explicit binding.
Describe the single precedence rule, the startup freeze, the behavior change
for unpinned sessions, the drift notice, GENTLE_PI_PROFILE_FOLLOW=1, foreign
repositories, children, and the in-memory limits until slice 3b-i persists
the freeze.
resolveInheritedProfile read the pin status twice on the no-pin path, so
with the pin module's default resolver one lookup ran git rev-parse twice
(CodeRabbit on Gentleman-Programming#1825). Read the status once and reuse its identity for the
pin layers and the non-Git check, with or without a caller-supplied
resolver. Also corrects the follow-mode comment: the orchestrator is chosen
when the session starts, not from the startup profile.

Part of gentle-shell#1064 slice 3b-ii (review follow-up).
A frozen session profile routes a foreign repository_root launch over that
repository's pin; the existing foreign launch test now states that it pins
the no-profile case, which breaks if the launch stops passing
foreignRepository (barbatdev on Gentleman-Programming#1826, native review on Gentleman-Programming#1827).

Part of gentle-shell#1064 slice 3b-ii (review follow-up).
The orchestrator model is chosen when the session starts (Pi settings
today); it is not taken from the startup profile. The limitation stands:
later default changes reach subagents but not the orchestrator.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sessions now resolve and retain a profile for routing, unless follow mode uses current defaults. Subagent launches use the resolved routing and can report changed defaults. Shell profile labels, routing models, and usage scope use the session profile.

Changes

Session Profile Lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and freeze session defaults
lib/session-profile-freeze.ts, extensions/gentle-agents.ts, tests/session-profile-freeze.test.ts
Parent sessions attempt to freeze inherited profile defaults at startup. Profile resolution reuses one worktree-status lookup. Tests cover resolver lookup behavior.
Apply session profiles to subagent launches
extensions/gentle-agents.ts, tests/gentle-agents.test.ts, docs/readme-reference.md
Launch routing uses explicit or frozen session profiles across targets, or target defaults in follow mode. Tests cover profile precedence, drift notices, and follow mode. The documentation describes profile resolution and session lifecycle behavior.
Use resolved profiles in shell status and usage
extensions/gentle-shell.ts, tests/gentle-shell.test.ts, docs/gentle-shell.md
Shell profile labels, routing models, and usage scope use session-profile resolution. Tests and documentation cover frozen scope and follow-mode refreshes.

omitted if no valid profile remains.

For a given working directory the winner is the local pin, then the repository declaration, then no pin. With no pin at all the repository keeps the behavior described above and follows the globally active profile. `p` and `P` are toggles: pressing one on the profile that already holds that layer removes it, and either key pressed outside a Git worktree writes nothing and says so.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Limit the startup-resolution rule to frozen mode.

Line 955 says every session keeps its startup result. Line 985 repeats that rule, but GENTLE_PI_PROFILE_FOLLOW=1 resolves defaults on each launch. Qualify both statements so users can distinguish frozen and follow routing.
