feat(desktop): clean up Agents page copy and streamline agent defaults#2031
Merged
Conversation
Section headers/descriptions on the Agents page: - "Agents" → "Your agents" / "Manage agents you've set up on this device." - "Teams" → "Agent teams" / "Group agents that you can add to a channel together." - "Relay directory" → "Agent directory" / "View agents other members have shared in this community." Also: - Agent defaults: "computer" → "device"; "Failed"/"failed to" → "Couldn't"/"couldn't"; "Agents tab" → "Agents page". - Group labels: "Unknown Agent" → "Unknown agents"; "Additional agent instances" → "Additional running agents". - Teams repair warning: "My Agents" → "your agents"; "repair" → "fix". - New agent menu item "New agent" → "Create from scratch". - Env vars helper reworded to drop jargon. - Create/definition dialog: "Agent runtime" → "Agent engine" (+ matching placeholder); "Agent instruction" → "Agent instructions"; "API Key" → "API key".

…e the modal Unify the terminology for agent-wide defaults on "agent defaults" across the Agents page button, the defaults modal, the Settings card, and the per-agent inherit option. Simplify the modal: tighter description, shorter field labels (LLM provider / Model / Thinking/effort / Environment variables), and drop the per-field help lines that repeated "applies to all agents". Also fix the Agents page button, which showed "Set agent defaults" even after a default was saved: it read only the structured `model` field, which is null for providers that persist the model as a provider env var (e.g. DATABRICKS_MODEL). It now uses the same resolved effective model the modal does, so it shows "Default model: <model>".

Several UI copy renames in this branch broke Playwright selectors:
- 'New agent' dropdown item → 'Create from scratch'; specs opened the
create flow via getByRole('menuitem', 'New agent'), which timed out
(cascaded across the smoke and integration suites).
- 'Use AI defaults' tab → 'Use agent defaults'.
- Global-config save toast 'failed to restart — check the Agents tab'
→ 'couldn't restart — check the Agents page'.
Updates the affected specs to the new labels. Verified locally.

nit: I'd like for us to standardize on "harness" or "runtime" instead of "engine". I agree we need to disambiguate from "LLM provider" though, thanks for this! |
Per PR feedback. Renames the create-dialog field label and its companion placeholder/loading strings (Choose a harness / Loading harnesses...). The agent profile 'Runtime' tab keeps its name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
The Agents page had inconsistent, jargon-y copy — mixed terminology ("relay" vs "community", "AI defaults" vs "global"), title-case labels, and a defaults button that went stale after saving. This is a content cleanup pass to make the page clearer and consistent.
What
DATABRICKS_MODEL) and shows "Default model:<model>" after saving, instead of staying on "Set agent defaults".Risk Assessment
Low — desktop copy/label changes plus one display-logic fix; no backend or persisted-config changes. Affected desktop unit tests updated (90 passing locally).
