Fixes #1367

Problem

On the LiteLLM settings screen the user could not change the model ID: selecting a model that is absent from the fetched /models list (custom aliases, incomplete/stale listings, renamed deployments) silently reverted the picker to the hardcoded default (claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219), and the saved custom ID was not displayed after reopening Settings.

Root cause

The LiteLLM case in useSelectedModel validated the configured litellmModelId against the fetched list with getValidatedModelId() and substituted the hardcoded default whenever the configured ID was missing from that list. LiteLLM is a proxy that fronts arbitrary models, so a configured ID is the user's explicit selection and must never be replaced by a hardcoded default.

Fix

  • webview-ui/src/components/ui/hooks/useSelectedModel.ts — the LiteLLM case now preserves the configured litellmModelId even when it is absent from the fetched list. The hardcoded default is only used when nothing is configured and a populated list exists; the empty-ID behavior for the empty-list case is unchanged.
  • webview-ui/src/components/ui/hooks/__tests__/useSelectedModel.spec.ts — the previous test codified the buggy behavior (asserting a configured ID reverts to the default); replaced with regression tests: a configured ID absent from a populated list is preserved, and an unconfigured ID with a populated list falls back to the default.
  • webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/ModelPicker.spec.tsx — new component test covering the full user flow: open the picker, type a custom ID, choose "Use custom model", re-render with the updated configuration, and assert the button shows the custom ID instead of the default.

Verification

  • Both new tests fail on the unfixed code (verified by stashing the fix) and pass with it.
  • vitest run src/components/ui/hooks src/components/settings — 54 files / 626 tests passed.
  • vitest run src/components/chat (other useSelectedModel consumers) — 37 files / 386 tests passed.
  • eslint --max-warnings=0 on touched files — clean; tsc typecheck — clean.

The LiteLLM case in useSelectedModel validated the configured model ID against the fetched /models list and silently substituted the hardcoded default (claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219) whenever the configured ID was absent. LiteLLM is a proxy that fronts arbitrary models and aliases, so a configured ID is the user's explicit selection even when it is not in the fetched list (custom aliases, incomplete or stale listings, renamed deployments). On the settings screen the picker reverted to the default after every selection, making the model ID appear unchangeable; the saved custom ID was also not displayed after reopening settings.

Only fall back to the default when nothing is configured and a populated list exists; keep the empty-ID behavior for the empty-list case. Adds a hook-level regression test and a ModelPicker component test covering the full user flow (open picker, use-custom-model, re-render with updated config).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved configured LiteLLM model selections when models are missing from fetched, empty, incomplete, or unavailable model lists.
    • Prevented custom model choices from reverting after settings updates or component re-renders.
    • Improved fallback behavior when no model is configured, including using the provider default only when available.
    • Preserved available model metadata when fallback information is needed.
    • Improved model-selection readiness after model retrieval completes, including when retrieval encounters an error.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for custom model persistence and model-selection fallback scenarios.

Walkthrough

LiteLLM selection preserves configured model IDs that are absent from fetched router models. The default ID is used only when no model is configured and the router-model list is populated. Tests cover hook behavior and picker persistence after re-rendering.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve configured LiteLLM model IDs
webview-ui/src/components/ui/hooks/useSelectedModel.ts, webview-ui/src/components/ui/hooks/__tests__/useSelectedModel.spec.ts
Configured LiteLLM model IDs remain selected when absent from populated, empty, incomplete, or missing router payloads. Fallback metadata remains available. The default ID is used only when no model is configured and models are available.
Validate picker persistence
webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/ModelPicker.spec.tsx
Typed router-model mocks support provider tests. Picker tests verify that a custom model ID remains selected after configuration updates and re-rendering.

Custom LiteLLM aliases can remain selected but still appear invalid in Settings when they are missing from the fetched catalog, so the configuration behavior is not fully usable until validation is aligned.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The hook behavior has focused Vitest coverage for populated, empty, missing-payload, error, and unset cases. However, the changed behavior also produces a durable visible LiteLLM selection in the ModelPicker. ModelPicker renders useSelectedModel(...).id as the button text, and the PR adds no Playwright visual test or snapshot. The existing settings snapshot covers UISettings, not provider model selection. The repository guidance requires a visual snapshot for durable user-visible UI changes.

Resolution

Add a Playwright *.visual.tsx story for the LiteLLM ModelPicker or representative provider-settings surface. Render a configured custom model ID absent from the catalog and commit the generated screenshot baseline. Keep the existing Vitest interaction and hook tests.

Replace broad casts with typed test doubles.

Type the provider mock with ReactNode, use ProviderSettings for apiConfiguration and its setter, and type the useRouterModels result. The any and never casts bypass these contracts and can hide incompatible test data.

When the router-models payload lacks a litellm provider entry (partial
listing, failed fetch, renamed deployment), hasValidRouterData stayed
false and useSelectedModel substituted the provider default, silently
replacing the user-configured litellmModelId. LiteLLM now only needs
the fetch to settle, since a configured ID is an explicit selection;
other dynamic providers still require a populated provider entry.

Add a hook-level regression test for a payload without the litellm
entry and a configured custom ID, and convert the affected test
doubles to the typed createRouterModelsResult helper, removing the
as any / as never casts.

221-226: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Allow preserved LiteLLM IDs in availability validation.

useSelectedModel preserves apiConfiguration.litellmModelId when a populated LiteLLM catalog omits that ID. LiteLLM is a dynamic provider, and getModelId resolves litellmModelId, so getModelValidationError returns settings:validation.modelAvailability when the catalog has more than one entry and excludes the configured ID. ApiOptions passes this error to the LiteLLM ModelPicker.

Exempt explicitly configured LiteLLM IDs from catalog membership validation, while retaining validation for providers that require catalog membership, and add a regression test.
