Add configurable polling intervals in Settings

[FuJacob]

Summary

• Adds a Performance section to Settings with two steppers:
  • Suggestion Delay — debounce before generating (10-500ms, step 10, default 50ms)
  • Focus Poll Interval — AX polling frequency (10-500ms, step 10, default 50ms)
• Both values persist to UserDefaults and take effect immediately at runtime
• FocusTracker timer restarts with the new interval when the setting changes
• Debounce reads from settingsSnapshot instead of the static configuration

Files changed (8)

• SuggestionSettingsModel.swift — new @Published properties, setters, snapshot publisher
• SuggestionEngineModels.swift — new fields on SuggestionSettingsSnapshot
• FocusTracker.swift — mutable pollInterval, updatePollInterval() method
• FocusTrackingModel.swift — forwards updatePollInterval() to tracker
• TabbyAppEnvironment.swift — Combine subscription to forward poll interval changes
• SuggestionCoordinator+Prediction.swift — reads debounce from settings snapshot
• SettingsView.swift — new Performance section with steppers
• TabbyTestFixtures.swift — updated test fixtures for new snapshot fields

Test plan

• xcodebuild build passes
• xcodebuild build-for-testing passes
• Manual QA: open Settings, adjust both steppers, verify suggestions respond faster/slower
• Verify values persist across app restarts

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a Performance section to Settings with two configurable steppers — Suggestion Delay (debounce) and Focus Poll Interval — both persisted to UserDefaults and applied at runtime. The polling infrastructure, settings model, and UI wiring are all correctly implemented.

• SuggestionSettingsModel adds @Published properties with clamped init resolution (10–500 ms), setter guards, and an expanded CombineLatest4 snapshot publisher; TabbyAppEnvironment subscribes to forward interval changes to FocusTracker via updatePollInterval().
• SuggestionCoordinator+Prediction now reads the debounce delay from the live settingsSnapshot instead of the static configuration.
• FoundationModelPromptRenderer and LlamaPromptRenderer silently uncomment user-tags prompt injection — a feature that was explicitly gated with a TODO review note — with no mention in the PR description.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The polling/debounce plumbing is safe to merge, but two renderer files contain an unannounced feature enablement that changes AI prompt content for all users.

The performance settings wiring is well-structured and correct. The concern is in FoundationModelPromptRenderer and LlamaPromptRenderer: user-tags injection was deliberately disabled with an explicit validation gate, and this PR quietly re-enables it in both generation paths without any mention in the description or test plan. That constitutes an active, unscoped behavioral change to AI output that deserves an explicit decision before shipping.

tabby/Support/FoundationModelPromptRenderer.swift and tabby/Support/LlamaPromptRenderer.swift — both contain the unscoped user-tags enablement.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
tabby/Support/FoundationModelPromptRenderer.swift	Uncomments user-tags prompt injection — a feature change that was explicitly gated behind a TODO validation note and is unrelated to this PR's scope.
tabby/Support/LlamaPromptRenderer.swift	Same unscoped user-tags uncomment as FoundationModelPromptRenderer; both renderers now inject tags into every prompt without validation.
tabby/Models/SuggestionSettingsModel.swift	Adds @published debounce/poll-interval properties with UserDefaults persistence, clamped init resolution, and expands the Combine snapshot publisher from CombineLatest3 to CombineLatest4. Logic is sound; init now properly clamps values before persisting.
tabby/Services/Focus/FocusTracker.swift	Changes pollInterval to var and adds updatePollInterval() that restarts the timer if running; correctly no-ops when the interval is unchanged.
tabby/App/Core/TabbyAppEnvironment.swift	Adds a Combine subscription that forwards focusPollIntervalMilliseconds changes to FocusTrackingModel; uses weak capture and removeDuplicates correctly.
tabby/Models/SuggestionEngineModels.swift	Adds debounceMilliseconds and focusPollIntervalMilliseconds to SuggestionSettingsSnapshot; the poll-interval field is unused by the coordinator and causes spurious snapshot invalidations.
tabby/UI/SettingsView.swift	Adds a Performance section with two steppers (10–500 ms, step 10) wired to custom Binding helpers; straightforward and correct.

   Initial poll interval isn't passed to FocusTracker at construction

   FocusTracker is created here without a pollInterval argument, so it always starts at its hardcoded 50 ms default. The correct interval is applied later only because TabbyAppEnvironment happens to subscribe to $focusPollIntervalMilliseconds after constructing this model — the subscription fires synchronously and patches pollInterval before start() is called. This works today, but the ordering dependency is implicit: anything that calls focusModel.start() before TabbyAppEnvironment sets up that subscription (e.g. a test or a future refactor) will silently use the wrong interval. Adding pollInterval as a constructor argument and threading the stored value through would make the initialization self-contained and remove the hidden precondition.

User-tags prompt injection enabled without PR scope or validation

Both FoundationModelPromptRenderer (here) and LlamaPromptRenderer (line 35–39) now actively inject user tags into every AI prompt. The previous gate comment explicitly said "Re-enable userTags in the prompt once we validate the feature's value." This change is unrelated to the configurable polling intervals this PR describes, and neither file's diff was mentioned in the PR description. Enabling unvalidated prompt content in two separate generation paths silently changes suggestion quality and tone for all users with tags set, with no test coverage or rollout guard.
