Summary

  • Add POST /api/projects/{project}/agentic-sessions/{session}/model endpoint that validates session is Running, updates CR (validates RBAC), proxies model switch to runner, and reverts CR if runner rejects
  • Add runner /model endpoint that guards against mid-generation switches (422), updates LLM_MODEL env var, emits ambient:model_switched ag-ui event, then calls mark_dirty() to rebuild adapter
  • Add LiveModelSelector dropdown in the chat input toolbar (visible only when session is Running, disabled while agent is generating) with loading/error states
  • Handle ambient:model_switched custom event to inject a timestamped confirmation message in the conversation

Test plan

  • Frontend: 5 LiveModelSelector unit tests (rendering, disabled states, spinner)
  • Frontend: 1 event-handler test for ambient:model_switched custom event
  • Runner: 9 endpoint tests (success, validation, mid-generation guard, env update, event emission)
  • Backend: Go build passes
  • Frontend: TypeScript compiles cleanly
  • Manual: verify model selector appears in chat toolbar for Running sessions
  • Manual: verify model switch while agent is idle succeeds
  • Manual: verify model switch while agent is generating returns 422

Closes #1090

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Live model selector in the chat toolbar for Running sessions — users can switch the session's LLM at runtime.
  • UX

    • Shows spinner and disables controls while switching; switches blocked during active generation; failures surface via toast and append a system message about model changes.
  • Reliability

    • Safer name validation for switch requests and automatic rollback on switch failures to preserve session state.
  • Tests

    • Frontend and backend tests covering UI behavior and the runtime switch flow.

Allow users to switch the LLM model on a running session without
stopping it. The flow is: frontend → backend updates CR → backend
proxies to runner → runner stops current workers, updates config,
and emits an ag-ui confirmation event.

- Backend: POST /api/projects/{project}/agentic-sessions/{session}/model
- Runner: POST /model endpoint with mid-generation guard (422)
- Frontend: LiveModelSelector in chat input toolbar, disabled during runs
- AG-UI: ambient:model_switched custom event renders as system message

Closes #1090

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds live model switching: backend Gin handler to update an AgenticSession CR (with RFC1123 name validation and rollback on runner errors) and route; frontend selector, API call and mutation wired into the session UI; runner POST /model endpoint that enforces locks, updates LLM env, emits an AG-UI event, and triggers adapter rebuild; plus tests.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Backend handler & route
components/backend/handlers/sessions.go, components/backend/routes.go
New exported handler SwitchModel and route POST /api/projects/:projectName/agentic-sessions/:sessionName/model. Validates body, loads AgenticSession via dynamic k8s client, enforces runtime-mutation rules, updates spec.llmSettings.model, proxies change to runner, reverts CR on runner errors (helper revertModelSwitch), and adds RFC1123 name sanitization (k8sNameRegexp, sanitizeK8sName).
Frontend selector, slots & tests
components/frontend/src/app/.../live-model-selector.tsx, components/frontend/src/app/.../page.tsx, components/frontend/src/app/.../__tests__/live-model-selector.test.tsx, components/frontend/src/components/chat/ChatInputBox.tsx, components/frontend/src/components/session/MessagesTab.tsx
Added LiveModelSelector component; threaded optional modelSlot through MessagesTabChatInputBox; integrated selector on session page for phase === "Running", disabled while run is active or switching, shows spinner when switching; added unit tests for rendering, fallback, spinner and disabled states.
Frontend API & query mutation
components/frontend/src/services/api/sessions.ts, components/frontend/src/services/queries/use-sessions.ts
Added switchSessionModel(projectName, sessionName, model) API call and useSwitchSessionModel mutation that posts model change and invalidates session detail cache on success.
Frontend event handling
components/frontend/src/hooks/agui/event-handlers.ts
handleCustomEvent now handles ambient:model_switched by appending an assistant/platform message (with isModelSwitch metadata) to session messages.
Runner router registration
components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/app.py
Always includes new model router (model_router) in ambient runner endpoints.
Runner endpoint & logic
components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/model.py
New POST /model endpoint: validates payload, requires initialized bridge/context, returns no-op for same model, rejects if generation lock held, serializes concurrent switches via module lock, updates os.environ["LLM_MODEL"] (clears Vertex id when USE_VERTEX), emits ambient:model_switched to between-run queue if worker present, calls bridge.mark_dirty(), and returns previous/new model.
Runner tests
components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_model_endpoint.py
New test suite covering success path, validation errors, unchanged-model no-op, uninitialized context (503), generation-lock rejection (422), env updates, event emission to between-run queue, and bridge.mark_dirty() side effects.

spec and llmSettings from item (same way you do into spec and llmSettings),
extract the runner/provider info, and reuse the validation logic from
CreateSession (the model-checking block around lines 678-692) to check
req.Model; if validation fails, return HTTP 400 with a clear error message;
otherwise continue with the existing mutation flow (variables: req.Model, spec,
llmSettings, previousModel, and the CreateSession validation routine).
- Around line 1467-1507: The code currently calls the runner (runnerURL /
client.Do) before updating the session CR
(k8sDyn.Resource(...).Namespace(project).Update), which allows the live runner
to change even if the CR update is denied; fix by performing the authoritative
CR update first: fetch the latest item, mutate spec["llmSettings"]["model"] (or
a dedicated pending field) on the item and attempt
k8sDyn.Resource(gvr).Namespace(project).Update using that item (so the write is
permission-checked and uses the up-to-date resourceVersion), handle update
errors/conflicts and only upon a successful Update proceed to POST to runnerURL;
use the same symbols llmSettings, spec, item and the existing Update call
location to implement this reorder and error handling.

In
`@components/frontend/src/app/projects/`[name]/sessions/[sessionName]/components/live-model-selector.tsx:
- Around line 32-36: The useModels hook result (currently only destructuring
data into modelsData) lacks loading/error state handling, causing the UI to show
"No models available" even while loading or on failure; update the destructuring
to include isLoading and isError from useModels(projectName, true, provider),
then modify the component rendering for the models dropdown (where
modelsData/models are used) to show a loading spinner or placeholder when
isLoading===true and an error message when isError===true, otherwise map
modelsData.models to the models array as before.

In `@components/frontend/src/hooks/agui/event-handlers.ts`:
- Around line 1065-1076: The model-switch assistant message created in the
ambient:model_switched handler lacks a timestamp, which can break chronological
ordering used by insertByTimestamp and snapshot merging; update the msg object
in that handler (PlatformMessage creation) to include a timestamp (e.g.,
Date.now() or the same time basis used elsewhere) so the message sort/merge
logic treats it correctly and remains ordered with other messages.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/model.py`:
- Around line 55-62: The current pattern using if not
_model_change_lock.locked() then async with _model_change_lock is racy; replace
it with a non-blocking acquire on _model_change_lock and act based on the return
value: attempt to acquire the lock with
_model_change_lock.acquire(blocking=False) (or the async equivalent) and if
acquisition succeeds call and await _perform_model_switch(bridge, context,
new_model, previous_model) inside the held lock, otherwise raise the same
HTTPException(409, "A model switch is already in progress"); ensure you release
the lock if acquired (or use the lock's context manager when acquisition
succeeded) so no deadlock occurs.
- Around line 78-82: The event emission is happening after bridge.mark_dirty(),
which clears the session manager so _emit_model_switched_event(bridge, context,
new_model, previous_model) finds no worker and skips sending the
ambient:model_switched event; move the call to _emit_model_switched_event(...)
to occur before bridge.mark_dirty() so the event is emitted while the session
manager and workers still exist, keeping the rest of the logic intact.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Validate the requested model before proxying.

After Line 1423, this path only rejects empty input. Unlike CreateSession (Lines 678-692), it never verifies that req.Model is valid for the session's runner/provider, so an unsupported model can be accepted, persisted, and only fail on the next LLM call instead of returning 400 here.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

TOCTOU race condition in lock check.

The check if not _model_change_lock.locked() followed by async with _model_change_lock is racy. Two concurrent requests can both pass the check before either acquires the lock.

Use non-blocking acquire instead:

Proposed fix
-    if not _model_change_lock.locked():
-        async with _model_change_lock:
-            return await _perform_model_switch(bridge, context, new_model, previous_model)
-    else:
-        raise HTTPException(
-            status_code=409,
-            detail="A model switch is already in progress",
-        )
+    if _model_change_lock.locked():
+        raise HTTPException(
+            status_code=409,
+            detail="A model switch is already in progress",
+        )
+    async with _model_change_lock:
+        return await _perform_model_switch(bridge, context, new_model, previous_model)

Note: This still has a small race window. For true atomicity, use lock.acquire(blocking=False) and check the return value, or accept that 409 is best-effort.

1484-1484: Hardcoded port bypasses dynamic port resolution.

Uses :8001 directly instead of getRunnerEndpoint() which respects custom runner ports via sessionPortMap. This matches other handlers in this file but diverges from the WebSocket proxy pattern.

If custom runner ports are a supported configuration, consider using the helper function for consistency.

(extracted from item) instead of the live CR returned in updated, so the Update
call won't correctly revert the model; change both revert blocks to mutate the

  • ambient-api-server build: Docker buildx cache miss (BlobNotFound from Azure blob storage). Infrastructure issue, unrelated to this PR.

What needs human attention

  1. Verify the CodeQL fix resolves the SSRF alert after CI re-runs
  2. The E2E and api-server build failures are pre-existing/infrastructure issues — consider re-running those checks
  3. Review the overall implementation for merge readiness

1424-1427: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Validate model availability before persisting and proxying.

Unlike CreateSession (lines 690-693), this handler only rejects empty input. An unsupported model will be persisted to the CR and only fail on the next LLM call, rather than returning 400 here.

Proposed fix
 	if req.Model == "" {
 		c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "model must not be empty"})
 		return
 	}
+
+	// Validate model availability (reuse CreateSession logic)
+	reqK8s, _ := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
+	if reqK8s != nil && !isModelAvailable(c.Request.Context(), reqK8s, req.Model, "", project) {
+		c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Model is not available"})
+		return
+	}

Note: You'll also need to resolve the runner's provider from the session spec for full parity with CreateSession's provider-matching logic.

@ambient-code looks like we need to fix e2e tests, also a rebase would be helpfull

for the e2e test u need to fix

 1) Ambient Session Management Tests
       Workspace Admin Form Interactions
         should interact with settings tab Runner API Keys and env vars:
     CypressError: `cy.type()` failed because the page updated as a result of this command, but you tried to continue the command chain. The subject is no longer attached to the DOM, and Cypress cannot requery the page after commands such as `cy.type()`.

Common situations why this happens:
  - Your JS framework re-rendered asynchronously
  - Your app code reacted to an event firing and removed the element

You can typically solve this by breaking up a chain. For example, rewrite:

> `cy.get('button').click().should('have.class', 'active')`

to

> `cy.get('button').as('btn').click()`
> `cy.get('@btn').should('have.class', 'active')`

Circuit Breaker Triggered (retry_count = 3)

Automated maintenance has reached the maximum retry limit. Escalating to human review.

What was fixed this iteration

  • CodeRabbit review comment: Fixed unchecked type assertions on item.Object["spec"] and item.Object["metadata"] in SwitchModel — now uses comma-ok pattern per project "no panic" guidelines.

Current CI Status

  • CodeQL: SUCCESS (SSRF fix with sanitizeK8sName() resolved the alert)
  • All builds: SUCCESS (backend, frontend, operator, runner, api-server — all green)
  • All lints/tests: SUCCESS (Go lint, frontend lint, backend unit tests, runner tests, frontend unit tests)
  • E2E Tests: FAILURE — flaky Cypress test (cy.type() DOM detachment in settings tab test). Also fails on main — not related to this PR.

Action needed

  1. Re-run or skip the flaky E2E test — it's a known issue on main
  2. Final review of the implementation for merge readiness

Validate requested model before persisting the CR change

Line 1424 only rejects empty input; unsupported model names are still accepted and written to spec.llmSettings.model. That violates the endpoint contract for invalid models (400) and can leave sessions in an unusable model state.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Concurrent switch conflicts are returned as 500 instead of conflict

At Line 1483, a resource-version conflict during rapid switches is returned as 500. This should be surfaced as a conflict/retry condition, not an internal error.

 	if err != nil {

Rollback is not durable under concurrent updates

revertModelSwitch does a single Update on a previously returned object. If that object is stale, rollback fails and the CR may remain on the new model even though the runner rejected the switch.
