Implementation Plan: Saved System Prompt Presets

Phase 1: Foundation & Data Model

• Task: Define the Preset data model and storage logic.
  • Create src/models.py (if not existing) or update it with a Preset dataclass/Pydantic model.
  • Implement PresetManager in a new file src/presets.py to handle loading/saving to presets.toml and project_presets.toml.
  • 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.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Foundation & Data Model' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 2: UI: Settings Integration

• Task: Add Preset Dropdown to Global AI Settings.
  • Modify gui_2.py to include a dropdown in the "AI Settings" panel.
  • Populated the dropdown with available global presets.
• Task: Add Preset Dropdown to Project Settings.
  • Modify gui_2.py to include a dropdown in the "Project Settings" panel.
  • Populated the dropdown with available project-specific presets (including overridden globals).
• Task: Implement "Auto-Load" logic.
  • When a preset is selected, update the active system prompt and model settings in gui_2.py.
• Task: Write integration tests for settings integration using live_gui.
  • Verify global dropdown shows global presets.
  • Verify project dropdown shows project + global presets.
  • Verify selecting a preset updates the UI fields (prompt, temperature).
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: UI: Settings Integration' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 3: UI: Preset Manager Modal

• Task: Create the PresetManagerModal in gui_2.py (or a separate module).
  • Implement a list view of all presets (global and project).
  • Implement "Add", "Edit", and "Delete" functionality.
  • Ensure validation for unique names.
• Task: Add a button to open the manager modal from the settings panels.
• Task: Write integration tests for the Preset Manager using live_gui.
  • Verify creating a new preset adds it to the list and dropdown.
  • Verify editing an existing preset updates it correctly.
  • Verify deleting a preset removes it from the list and dropdown.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: UI: Preset Manager Modal' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 4: Final Integration & Polish

• Task: Ensure robust error handling for missing or malformed .toml files.
• Task: Final UI polish (spacing, icons, tooltips).
• Task: Run full suite of relevant tests.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Final Integration & Polish' (Protocol in workflow.md)
