Plan 06-01 Summary: Backend + ModelSelectorPill

Completed Tasks

Task 1: Fix Rust model scan to top-level only ✅

• Status: Already implemented
• scan_model_dir_top_level() function exists in model_files.rs
• scan_models Tauri command uses top-level scan (not recursive)
• All 5 tests pass including scan_model_dir_returns_only_top_level_gguf

Task 2: Create ModelSelectorPill + wire into ChatView + clean Sidebar ✅

• ModelSelectorPill.tsx: Created at tauri-app/src/components/ModelSelectorPill.tsx

  • Extracts model deduplication logic from Sidebar
  • Renders compact pill button with status dot and dropdown
  • Shows spinner when isSwapping is true
  • Uses getDisplayName and isInChatSelector from modelAlias

• Sidebar.tsx: Cleaned

  • Removed model-section block (lines 131-170)
  • Removed model-related props: models, localModels, selectedModel, onModelChange, onModelSwap, isSwapping, status
  • Removed ModelInfo and RuntimeModelFile imports

• ChatView.tsx: Updated

  • Added model props to Props interface (lines 26-32)
  • Imported ModelSelectorPill component
  • Rendered <ModelSelectorPill> in hero input (line 627)
  • Rendered <ModelSelectorPill> in regular input (line 851)

• App.tsx: Updated

  • Removed model props from <Sidebar> component
  • Added model props to <ChatView>: models, localModels, selectedModel, onModelChange, onModelSwap, isSwapping, status

• ChatView.test.tsx: Fixed

  • Added defaultChatViewProps with required model props
  • Spread {...defaultChatViewProps} to all test renders

Files Modified

• tauri-app/src-tauri/src/model_files.rs (already had top-level scan)
• tauri-app/src/components/ModelSelectorPill.tsx (created)
• tauri-app/src/components/Sidebar.tsx (cleaned)
• tauri-app/src/components/ChatView.tsx (added model props + ModelSelectorPill)
• tauri-app/src/App.tsx (routed model props to ChatView)
• tauri-app/src/components/ChatView.test.tsx (fixed tests)

Success Criteria Met

• Top-level model scan: scan_models("./models") returns only .gguf files directly in the folder
• Model selector visible in chat input pill (hero screen and regular screen)
• No model selector in the sidebar
• TypeScript and Rust compile without errors
