agent_profile_set.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the agent_profile_set.py API endpoint.
• This module sets the active agent profile for a chat context and returns profile label metadata.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with agent_profile_set.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• agent_profile_set.py owns the runtime implementation.
• agent_profile_set.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• SetAgentProfile (ApiHandler)
  • async process(self, input: dict, request: Request) -> dict | Response
• Top-level functions:
• _agent_profile_labels() -> dict[str, str]

Runtime Contracts

• HTTP handlers must derive from helpers.api.ApiHandler; WebSocket handlers must derive from helpers.ws.WsHandler.
• Update this file whenever request payloads, authentication or CSRF requirements, response shapes, route side effects, or WebSocket event contracts change.
• SetAgentProfile is an ApiHandler.
• SetAgentProfile defines process(...).
• Observed side-effect areas: filesystem writes, settings/state persistence.
• Switching a chat profile updates the context and top-level agent profile only; existing subordinate agents keep their own profile configs.
• Imported dependency areas include: agent, helpers, helpers.api, helpers.persist_chat, helpers.state_monitor_integration.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: str.strip, context.is_running, _agent_profile_labels, initialize_agent, context.agent0.config, save_tmp_chat, mark_dirty_for_context, subagents.get_all_agents_list, Response.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve authentication, CSRF, loopback, and API-key checks unless the endpoint contract explicitly changes.
• Update frontend callers, plugin callers, and tests together when payload shape changes.
• Use helpers.api.Response for non-JSON responses, files, redirects, or status-specific replies.

Verification

• Run endpoint-specific or API/WebSocket tests for changed behavior; smoke-test browser callers when no focused test exists.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_subagent_profiles.py
