Problem

When the selected text generation provider can't run (CLI missing, signed out, or usage window exhausted), TextGeneration.generate picks another provider. It checks candidates against machine-level provider settings only, so a provider disabled for a project can still write that project's thread titles, branch names, commit messages, PR content and review guides.

Change

Text generation requests carry an optional projectId, and fallback candidates are checked with resolveProjectProviderInstanceEnabled(settings, projectId, …) instead of null. Thread titles (launch and regenerate), branch names, commit messages, PR content and review guides pass their project. Transcription post-processing has no project, so it stays machine-scoped. The fallback trigger itself is unchanged from #29607.

Scope and approval

Narrowed from #26979 at the maintainer's request (comment): "Please rebase and narrow this PR to honoring project provider enablement when choosing fallback candidates, which main still checks at machine scope." Replaces #26979, whose branch I can't push to. Related: #26962.

Verification

Test. apps/server/src/textGeneration/CodexTextGeneration.test.ts gets a new preflight row, "not installed, fallback disabled for project". With the old null check it fails, because the title goes to the fallback the project disabled:

 × text generation preflight: not installed, fallback disabled for project
      Tests  1 failed | 6 passed | 19 skipped (26)

With this change all 7 preflight rows pass. vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck of 41 packages, and 214 tests in the 6 affected test files.

Runtime transcript (93dcebe, vp run dev on a fresh home dir with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0):

• Settings: Codex binary path points at a missing file (Codex stays enabled), Cursor and OpenCode are disabled, and the text generation model is left at its default (Codex).
• Project A disables Claude in its project settings. Project B has no overrides.
• In each project: t3 thread start --provider devReplay --model showcase --worktree main <project> "Summarize the README in this repo". Replay can't generate text, so the branch name has to come from the fallback.

	Claude for the project	Worktree branch	Server log
Project A	disabled	t3/55b139aa (temporary name kept)	WARN Thread worktree branch rename failed … generateBranchName: Failed to spawn Codex CLI process
Project B	enabled	t3/summarize-readme (named by Claude)	no warning

Project B shows the fallback still working. Project A shows a provider the project disabled is never used for its text: generation keeps the original Codex error, as it does when no fallback qualifies.

Not checked: the same run on main. The test row above shows the old behavior. Thread titles from the CLI skip generation, so the run uses branch naming, which goes through the same TextGeneration.generate path with projectId.

Created with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code (T3 Code).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 93dcebe

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Text-generation fallbacks now respect project provider settings across source-control and thread-generation operations. Existing provider readiness and usage safeguards remain unchanged, limiting the change to honoring configured project preferences.

Walkthrough

Text-generation inputs now carry project IDs. The generation service uses them to check project-specific fallback-provider eligibility. Server workflows pass project IDs for commit messages, pull-request content, branch names, review guides, and thread titles.

Project-aware fallback selection packages/provider-core/src/server/textGeneration.ts, apps/server/src/textGeneration/TextGeneration.ts, apps/server/src/textGeneration/CodexTextGeneration.test.ts	Generation inputs accept an optional project ID.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e3430

The change makes text-generation fallback respect project provider settings. Two paths in Git actions still lose the project scope. Commit and PR generation from a worktree path that is not the project root, with no thread or project ID, can fall back to a provider the project disabled. A settings change made while an action is running can have the same effect. Both are cheap to fix, so resolve them before merging.

Resolve the project for ID-less worktree requests.

When a worktree path differs from the project workspace root, the lookup returns null. If the primary provider is unavailable, fallback can send the commit patch or PR content to a provider disabled for that project. Resolve the owning project before applying fallback settings for these requests.

Preserve the project ID when no overrides exist yet.

If a project override disables a fallback provider during an action, fallback selection can use machine-level enablement instead. Commit or PR generation can then use the disabled provider with the diff context. Resolve the project ID before the early return.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Test project-scoped fallback through GitManager.

The existing GitManager project test checks model selection, but it does not exercise fallback eligibility through TextGeneration. Add a focused behavior test that runs Git generation with a project-disabled fallback provider. Cover commit and PR generation without mocking the fallback logic. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per coding guidelines: “Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.”

Evidence

Environment on both sides: Linux, isolated real development server, fresh synthetic data, identical RPC driver. Recordings show timestamped server interaction output rendered at 1280×720 with the same dark theme.

1. Enable and select Codex for text generation, pointing its binary path at a nonexistent file.
2. Enable installed, authenticated Claude globally; disable all other fallbacks.
3. Create two projects with existing stopped threads containing the same weather-dashboard prompt. Disable Claude in project A; leave it enabled in project B.
4. Regenerate each thread title and read the persisted result after completion.

Not shown:

• Web, Electron, and mobile UI interactions were not exercised; this evidence drives the real server through RPC.
• Other changed generation paths—branch names, commit messages, pull-request content, review guides, and initial thread titles—were not exercised; this reproduction covers explicit thread-title regeneration.
• Usage-limit-triggered fallback and providers other than Claude were not exercised; the selected provider was unavailable because its binary path did not exist.
