Two fixes for the regression introduced in b92daef3 (and an additional
hardening for the persona->context_preset stale-reference class of bug):
1. Regression: persona_manager was missing on first project load.
_load_active_project creates preset_manager and tool_preset_manager
but did not create persona_manager, so the new
self.personas = self.persona_manager.load_all() line in
_refresh_from_project raised AttributeError on app startup before
the post-_load_active_project persona_manager creation could run.
Fix: create self.persona_manager in _load_active_project alongside
the other managers, so the manager is available when
_refresh_from_project runs.
2. Stale reference: persona's context_preset field pointed to a
preset (e.g. 'GTE') that no longer exists in the project, causing
load_context_preset to raise KeyError and crash the persona
selector panel (which triggered the cascading 'Missing End()' imgui
assertion).
Fix: wrap the load_context_preset call in render_persona_selector_panel
with try/except KeyError, surface the error in app.ai_status, and
clear app.ui_active_context_preset to keep the GUI state consistent.
Tests: 2 new tests in tests/test_project_switch_persona_preset.py
- test_load_active_project_creates_persona_manager (regression guard)
- test_load_context_preset_missing_raises_keyerror (verifies the
contract that load_context_preset raises for missing names; the
GUI layer is now responsible for catching the error)
When switching projects, the previous project's project-specific persona and
presets remained selected in the AI Settings panel because:
1. self.personas was not reloaded after switching project root
2. self.ui_active_persona / tool_preset / bias_profile / project_preset_name
were not validated against the newly-loaded personas/presets
Fix:
- Reload self.personas from self.persona_manager in _refresh_from_project
- Validate each active selection and reset to None/empty if it does not
exist in the newly-loaded manager dictionaries
- Push the active tool preset and bias profile to ai_client after the swap
- Initialize self.ui_active_bias_profile in class attribute block (was only
set later in __init__, causing AttributeError on direct attribute access)
Tests: 4 new tests in tests/test_project_switch_persona_preset.py verify
the reset behavior for persona, preset, tool preset, and global preset
preservation.
