+# Track Debrief: Saved System Prompt Presets
+
+## Outcome
+Implemented foundational "System Prompt Presets" with scoped inheritance (Global/Project) and integrated model parameters (Temperature, Top-P, Max Tokens).
+
+## Conceptual Dilemma
+During implementation, a conflict was identified between "Prompt Presets" and "Model Settings." Selecting a preset from a prompt dropdown currently overrides global model parameters, which is unintuitive when multiple prompts (Global, Project, MMA) contribute to a single agent turn.
+
+## Future Direction: Agent Personas
+To resolve this, we will move toward a **Unified Persona** model. 
+- **Consolidation:** Provider, Model, Parameters, Prompts (all scopes), and Tool Presets will be grouped into a single "Persona" object.
+- **UI Overhaul:** The "AI Settings" panel will be refactored to focus on "Active Persona" selection rather than fragmented prompt/model controls.
+- **MMA Integration:** MMA agents will eventually be assigned specific Personas, allowing for differentiated behaviors (e.g., a "Creative Worker" vs. a "Strict QA").

-    - [ ] Implement the inheritance logic where project presets override global ones.
- [ ] Task: Write unit tests for `PresetManager`.
-    - [ ] Test loading global presets.
-    - [ ] Test loading project presets.
-    - [ ] Test the override logic (same name).
-    - [ ] Test saving/updating presets.
