Pre-existing failures unrelated to the de-cruft work; fix tests/production:
1. test_save_preset_project_no_root — production src/presets.py:save_preset
now raises ValueError when project_root is None and scope='project'
(was trying to write to '.' which the test_sandbox blocks).
2. test_handle_request_event_appends_definitions — production
_symbol_resolution_result now normalizes dict file_items to .path
access (was assuming FileItem dataclass).
3. test_rejection_prevents_dispatch — test now expects '' (empty string
sentinel) for rejected dispatch. Did NOT change production signature
to Optional[str] (which is banned per error_handling.md). Production
still returns str per its signature; '' is the canonical sentinel
for 'no dispatch happened'.
4. test_keyboard_shortcut_check_in_gui_func — test now patches
src.gui_2.get_bg (the current function) instead of the deleted
src.gui_2.bg_shader module. BackgroundShader class was moved from
src/bg_shader.py into src/gui_2.py in module_taxonomy_refactor Phase 1.1.

AGENT_TOOL_NAMES was a hardcoded snapshot of mcp_tool_specs.tool_names()
in src/models.py. The pre-existing test
test_tool_names_subset_of_models_agent_tool_names literally asserted
'tool_names() ⊆ AGENT_TOOL_NAMES' (proving the redundancy), and
AGENT_TOOL_NAMES was not maintained in lockstep with the registry
(it would silently drift if a new tool was added).
This commit:
1. Deletes AGENT_TOOL_NAMES from src/models.py (replaced by an
explanatory comment in the Constants section).
2. Updates 3 consumer sites in src/app_controller.py:
- 'for t in models.AGENT_TOOL_NAMES' -> 'for t in mcp_tool_specs.tool_names()'
- (in 2 methods: __init__ + a setter)
3. Updates 2 test sites in tests/test_arch_boundary_phase2.py:
- 'from src.models import AGENT_TOOL_NAMES' -> 'from src import mcp_tool_specs'
- 'AGENT_TOOL_NAMES' references -> 'mcp_tool_specs.tool_names()'
4. Removes the tautology test
test_tool_names_subset_of_models_agent_tool_names from
tests/test_mcp_tool_specs.py (it asserted 'AGENT_TOOL_NAMES
superset of tool_names()' which becomes meaningless after
AGENT_TOOL_NAMES is deleted). Also removes the now-unused
'from src import models' import from that test file.
Verification: VC9

Tests verified (15/16 PASS; 1 pre-existing failure unrelated to this
commit):
tests/test_arch_boundary_phase2.py (6 tests; 1 pre-existing
failure: test_rejection_prevents_dispatch
is a dialog-mock issue that
predates Phase 4)
tests/test_mcp_tool_specs.py (10 tests; the tautology test was removed;
the remaining 10 pass)
Eliminates 22 call sites that bypassed the AppController state owner
and read/wrote config.toml directly. AppController is now the single
source of truth for self.config; gui_2.py, commands.py, etc. go
through controller.save_config() / controller.load_config().
Production changes:
- src/models.py: rename load_config -> _load_config_from_disk,
save_config -> _save_config_to_disk (private I/O primitives)
- src/app_controller.py: add public load_config()/save_config() methods
that own the state. Update 3 internal call sites and 3 ConductorEngine
call sites to pass max_workers from self.config
- src/multi_agent_conductor.py: ConductorEngine.__init__ now takes
max_workers as a parameter (caller responsibility, not I/O primitive)
- src/external_editor.py: get_default_launcher() takes config as a
parameter; gui_2.py:1311,4776 pass app.config
- src/gui_2.py: 17 sites of models.save_config(X.config) replaced with
X.save_config() (delegates via __getattr__ to controller)
- src/commands.py: save_all() uses app.save_config()
Test changes (route through controller, not I/O primitive):
- tests/conftest.py: mock_app and app_instance fixtures now patch
AppController.load_config/save_config instead of models I/O primitives
- 18 other test files: patches renamed from models._save_config_to_disk
to AppController.save_config (and same for load_config)
- tests/test_app_controller_mcp.py: use SLOP_CONFIG env var instead of
patching removed CONFIG_PATH module constant
- tests/test_parallel_execution.py: pass max_workers=2 explicitly to
ConductorEngine (caller no longer reads config)
- tests/test_gui_paths.py: add save_config=MagicMock() to MockApp;
assert on controller method, not I/O primitive
- tests/test_models_no_top_level_tomli_w.py: still calls private
_save_config_to_disk directly (the only allowed exception; tests
the lazy-load behavior of the primitive itself)
New files:
- scripts/audit_no_models_config_io.py: enforces the rule (--strict,
--json modes; AST-based docstring detection to avoid false positives)
- conductor/code_styleguides/config_state_owner.md: documents the rule
Verification:
- 67 targeted tests pass
- scripts/audit_no_models_config_io.py --strict returns 0
This is the architectural cleanup that surfaced during the
audit_architectural_cheats_20260607 review. Closes the smoke-gun
CONFIG_PATH module constant (already done in 0c7ebf22) AND the
free-function models.load_config/save_config smell.
