Summary

Fixes #641

Session list appearance convenience setters (islandSessionGroup, islandSessionSort, completedStaleThreshold, …) could write one display profile and then read another.

Root cause

  1. In some environments (tests / empty display option list), refreshOverlayDisplayConfiguration() left overlayPlacementDiagnostics == nil, so activeAppearanceProfile defaulted to .topBar.
  2. Writing list prefs called appearancePreferencesDidChangealways refreshOverlayPlacementIfVisible(), which established diagnostics for the real screen (often .notch).
  3. Later gets used .notch defaults (.none group, .attention sort) while the write landed on .topBar — so sections stayed ["all"] and sort ignored lastUpdate.

That also explained flaky agents-grid tests when rightSlot / UserDefaults interacted with a flipped active profile.

What changed

Area Change
OverlayUICoordinator.refreshOverlayDisplayConfiguration Always establish placement diagnostics when selection is already automatic (no early return that skips placement)
AppModel.appearancePreferencesDidChange Reposition only for closed-island chrome prefs (rightSlot / centerLabel / usageDisplay / stateIndicator); list prefs only clear session-bucket cache
AppModel.updateAppearancePreferences Copy → mutate → assign for reliable @Observable + didSet writeback
Tests Regression test for setter stickiness; clear rightSlot UserDefaults in AgentsGridRightSlotTests

Why this is a product fix (not only tests)

Settings/list grouping and sorting go through the same profile-aware preferences. Flipping activeAppearanceProfile mid-update could make the island ignore the profile that was just written.

How tested

  • swift test --filter 'AppModelSessionListTests|AgentsGridRightSlotTests' — all pass (incl. previously failing 4)
  • swift test full suite — 330 tests in 34 suites passed
  • New regression: appearancePreferenceSettersStickOnActiveProfile

Walkthrough

AppModel now writes appearance preferences through copied profile values and selectively refreshes overlay placement. Tests cover profile persistence, explicit top-bar settings, right-slot state cleanup, and notification-collapse pointer conditions.

Changes

Appearance preference handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile preference updates and refresh handling
Sources/OpenIslandApp/AppModel.swift
updateAppearancePreferences copies, mutates, and reassigns the selected profile. appearancePreferencesDidChange refreshes overlay placement only when session-list appearance fields change.
Preference regression coverage

Tests verify active-profile persistence, explicit .topBar configuration, right-slot preference cleanup, and pointer placement during notification-collapse tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2df1e

The change is mergeable with owner awareness, but the test suite should restore shared UserDefaults between tests and use a non-default threshold value so the regression coverage reliably detects profile writeback and avoids order-dependent failures.

Isolate the right-slot UserDefaults writeback too.

The initializer only clears UserDefaults before each suite. These tests write .agents through AppModel.islandRightSlot, leaving persisted .count or .agents values for later suites that do not reset those keys. Use scoped save-and-restore cleanup in deinit/teardown, an isolated defaults fixture for AppModel, or make every suite that creates AppModel serialize/clean these right-slot keys.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Invalidate the session-bucket cache when the active profile changes.

_cachedSessionBuckets is shared by both profiles, but computeSessionBuckets() reads completedStaleThreshold through activeAppearanceProfile. A display refresh can change overlayPlacementDiagnostics.mode without changing state or clearing this cache. After a notch/top-bar switch, surfacedSessions can use the old profile’s threshold and omit or misplace sessions. Clear the cache when the profile changes, or include the profile and threshold in the cache key. Add a regression test for this switch.

Comment thread Tests/OpenIslandAppTests/AppModelSessionListTests.swift
Session list group/sort setters could write one display profile and then
read another: list-only preference changes triggered a full overlay
reposition that established or flipped overlayPlacementDiagnostics (and
thus activeAppearanceProfile) mid-update.

- Establish placement diagnostics during display config refresh even when
  selection is already automatic with an empty option list
- Only reposition for closed-island chrome preference changes
- Use copy-mutate-assign in updateAppearancePreferences for Observable
- Add regression test; isolate agents-grid rightSlot UserDefaults

Restore shared UserDefaults after each test.

makeAgentsSlotModel() writes .agents to both profile keys through UserDefaults.standard, but this initializer only removes them before a test. The final test leaves those keys set, so a later AppModel() can inherit the test preference and reintroduce order-dependent failures. Add per-test cleanup or restore the previous values after each test.

Owner

Thanks, and apologies for the delay. Issue #641 was fixed on main by #655 (always calling refreshOverlayPlacement(), so the active profile is established in AppModel.init and can't flip mid-update) and #661, shipped in v1.1.8. I re-checked this branch on current main: it builds and the suite passes (369 tests), but applying only its two test files onto unmodified main sources also passes 3/3 runs — the source changes are no longer needed for the tests, and the copy→mutate→assign in updateAppearancePreferences behaves the same as the inout mutation under @Observable (didSet fires once with the right oldValue).

Closing as superseded. The "skip reposition for list-only preference changes" part of appearancePreferencesDidChange is harmless and could be a tiny standalone PR if you want it.
