feat(agents): add tier-1 buzz-agent model-tuning fields to Create/Edit dialogs by wpfleger96 · Pull Request #1534 · block/buzz

Closes the #1470 UI gap: adds four dedicated editable fields to the managed-agent Create and Edit dialogs so users can configure buzz-agent model-tuning knobs without hand-typing raw env var keys.

What this adds

Four fields rendered inside CreateAgentRuntimeFields (shared by both dialogs), gated on isBuzzAgentRuntime(modelTuningRuntimeId) — non-buzz-agent runtimes see nothing:

Field	Env var	Input type
Thinking / Effort	`BUZZ_AGENT_THINKING_EFFORT`	`<select>` — 7 values + Inherit
Max rounds	`BUZZ_AGENT_MAX_ROUNDS`	numeric (0 = unlimited)
Max output tokens	`BUZZ_AGENT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`	numeric
Context limit	`BUZZ_AGENT_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS`	numeric

Inherit pattern (matches #1448)

Empty field = inherit: key is absent from envVars; placeholder shows the inherited baseline from inheritedEnvVars (global + persona chain). Non-empty = explicit override written into envVars. No payload shape change — values already ride in the envVars map.

CreateAgentDialog passes globalConfig.env_vars as the baseline (global-only; no persona on create)
EditAgentDialog passes inheritedWithGlobal (global + linked persona, matching the existing EnvVarsEditor wiring)

Prop split: modelTuningRuntimeId vs selectedRuntimeId

The Edit dialog collapses selectedRuntimeId to an "inherit"/"custom" sentinel that drives the custom-command input. A separate modelTuningRuntimeId prop carries the real/prospective runtime id for the model-tuning gate:

Edit passes prospectiveRuntimeId (resolves inherit → persona command; covers both inherited and pinned buzz-agent)
Create passes selectedRuntimeId directly (no sentinel needed; the real id is always available)

…t dialogs Adds four dedicated, editable fields to the managed-agent Create and Edit dialogs so users can configure buzz-agent model-tuning knobs without hand-typing raw env var keys: - Thinking / Effort (select: none|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh|max) - Max rounds (numeric) - Max output tokens (numeric) - Context limit (numeric) Each field writes its value as a BUZZ_AGENT_* key into the existing envVars map — no new persistence path or record-schema change. Empty field = inherit: the key is absent from envVars and the placeholder shows the global/persona baseline from inheritedEnvVars. Non-empty = explicit override. Fields are gated on isBuzzAgentRuntime(selectedRuntimeId) and rendered via a private BuzzAgentModelTuningFields component — non-buzz-agent runtimes see nothing. A source-of-truth constant BUZZ_AGENT_THINKING_EFFORT_VALUES mirrors parse_thinking_effort in crates/buzz-agent/src/config.rs. 14 behavior-focused unit tests cover: empty→inherit, set→writes key, clear→deletes key, correct key names, bounded select values, multi- field isolation.

The Edit dialog collapses selectedRuntimeId to an 'inherit'/'custom' sentinel that drives the custom-command input visibility. The tier-1 model-tuning gate was using this same prop, so isBuzzAgentRuntime always saw 'inherit' in Edit and the fields were never rendered. Fixes: - Add modelTuningRuntimeId prop to CreateAgentRuntimeFields, separate from the existing selectedRuntimeId sentinel. Gate the tier-1 fields on isBuzzAgentRuntime(modelTuningRuntimeId). - Edit passes prospectiveRuntimeId (already resolves inherit→persona command, covers both inherited and pinned buzz-agent personas). - Create passes selectedRuntimeId (no sentinel needed; the real id is always available there). - Fix min="0" on Max Rounds (backend default is 0 = unlimited; explicit 0 is a valid override to lift a finite cap set via persona/global). Add '0 = unlimited' to the help text. - Add 4 regression tests covering the Edit runtime-id mapping: sentinel 'inherit' must not trigger fields; prospectiveRuntimeId 'buzz-agent' must; goose/empty must not.

Tier-1 buzz-agent model-tuning fields

New dedicated fields for THINKING_EFFORT, MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS, MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS, and max rounds, in both the Create and Edit Agent dialogs for a buzz-agent runtime. Empty field = inherit baseline (shown as placeholder); a typed value = explicit override written to env_vars.

Create — inherited baseline

Fields empty; placeholders show the inherited baseline values.

Create — explicit overrides

Values typed into the fields become explicit BUZZ_AGENT_* overrides.

Edit — inherited baseline

Opening an existing buzz-agent agent for edit now renders the fields (the Pass-1 fix); empty fields show inherited placeholders.
