+# Implementation Plan: Agent Personas - Unified Profiles
+
+## Phase 1: Core Model and Migration
+- [ ] Task: Audit `src/models.py` and `src/app_controller.py` for all existing AI settings.
+- [ ] Task: Write Tests: Verify the `Persona` dataclass can be serialized/deserialized to TOML.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Create the `Persona` model in `src/models.py` and implement the `PersonaManager` in `src/personas.py` (inheriting logic from `PresetManager`).
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Create a migration utility to convert existing `active_preset` and system prompts into an "Initial Legacy" Persona.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Core Model and Migration' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 2: Granular MMA Integration
+- [ ] Task: Write Tests: Verify that a `Ticket` or `Track` can hold a `persona_id` override.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Update the MMA internal state to support per-epic, per-track, and per-task Persona assignments.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Update the `WorkerContext` and `ConductorEngine` to resolve and apply the correct Persona before spawning an agent.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Add "Persona" metadata to the Tier Stream logs to visually confirm which profile is active.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Granular MMA Integration' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 3: Hybrid Persona UI
+- [ ] Task: Write Tests: Verify that changing the Persona Selector updates the associated UI fields using `live_gui`.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Add the Persona Selector dropdown to the "AI Settings" panel.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Refactor the "Manage Presets" modal into a full "Persona Editor" supporting model sets and linked tool presets.
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Add "Persona Override" controls to the Ticket editing panel in the MMA Dashboard.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Hybrid Persona UI' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 4: Integration and Advanced Logic
+- [ ] Task: Implement: Logic for "Preferred Model Sets" (trying next model in set if provider returns specific errors).
+- [ ] Task: Implement: "Linked Tool Preset" resolution (checking for the preset ID and applying its tool list to the agent session).
+- [ ] Task: Final UI polish, tooltips, and documentation sync.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Integration and Advanced Logic' (Protocol in workflow.md)

+# Specification: Agent Personas - Unified Profiles & Tool Presets
+
+## Overview
+Transition the application from fragmented prompt and model settings to a **Unified Persona** model. A Persona consolidates Provider, Model (or a preferred set of models), Parameters (Temp, Top-P, etc.), Prompts (Global, Project, and MMA-specific components), and links to Tool Presets into a single, versionable entity.
+
+## Functional Requirements
+- **Persona Data Model:**
+  - **Scoped Inheritance:** Supports **Global** and **Project-Specific** personas. Project personas with matching names override global versions.
+  - **Configuration Sets:** A persona can define a single model/provider or a **Preferred Model Set** (allowing for fallback or quick toggling between compatible models like `gemini-3-flash` and `gemini-3.1-pro`).
+  - **Linked Tool Presets:** Personas reference external **Tool Presets** (to be implemented in a parallel track) to define agent capabilities.
+- **Granular MMA Assignment:**
+  - **Tier 1 (Strategic):** Assigned at the per-epic level.
+  - **Tier 2 (Architectural):** Assigned at the per-track level.
+  - **Tier 3 (Execution):** Assigned at the per-task level, allowing for "Specialized Workers" (e.g., a "Security Specialist" worker for sensitive tasks).
+  - **Tier 4 (QA):** Selectable by Tier 2 or Tier 3 agents during their workflow.
+- **Hybrid UI/UX:**
+  - **Persona Templates:** The AI Settings panel will retain granular controls (Provider, Model, Prompts) but add a primary **Persona Selector**.
+  - **Live Binding:** Selecting a persona populates all granular fields as a template. Users can then override specific values (e.g., swapping the model) without permanently modifying the persona.
+  - **Persona Editor Modal:** A dedicated high-density interface for managing the persona registry.
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+- **Extensibility:** The schema must be flexible enough to incorporate future "Agent Bias" and "Memory Tuning" parameters.
+- **Backward Compatibility:** Existing `manual_slop.toml` files must be migrated or shimmed to ensure no loss of existing prompt settings.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] A Persona can be saved, edited, and deleted in both Global and Project scopes.
+- [ ] Selecting a Persona correctly updates the UI state for prompts and model parameters.
+- [ ] MMA workers can be spawned with a specific Persona ID, verified via Tier Streams.
+- [ ] The system handles "Linked Tool Presets" correctly, even if the linked preset is missing (graceful fallback).
+
+## Out of Scope
+- Implementing the "Tool Presets" themselves (this track only handles the *link* and integration).
+- Multi-persona "Teams" (handled in future orchestration tracks).
