Pull request overview
Refactors the auto mode token request shaping so that when running in the editor (inline chat), the auto_mode.model_hints list always includes an 'auto' hint in addition to any experiment-provided hint, aligning with the “auto in editor location” requirement.
Changes:
- Builds
model_hintsfrom the experiment value, defaulting to'auto'. - For
ChatLocation.Editor, appends'auto'when the primary hint is not already'auto'.
