Closes #2600.

What changed

• tests/design-canvas-server.test.ts: the waitFor helper of the SSE test driver now rejects after 5 seconds with the buffered stream tail. When the host's inotify limits are exhausted, fs.watch never fires and these tests used to block the whole unit stage forever; they now fail in ~5s naming the cause.
• extensions/gentle-ai.ts: the models-screen notices for routing keys that match no agent now say the profile key names no agent configured in gentle-shell, keeping the did-you-mean suggestion and the plural form; tests updated to the new wording.

Why

An exhausted inotify budget made the unit stage look slow when it was actually hung (observed >1h20m at 0% CPU). A waiter without a timeout turned an environmental failure into a silent stall.

Verification

• node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit: 0 errors.
• node --test tests/gentle-ai.test.ts: 140/140.
• node --test tests/design-canvas-server.test.ts: 56/56.
• tests/runtime-harness.mjs: exit 0.
• Reproduced the exhaustion (ENOSPC on fs.watch): with the fix the four SSE tests fail in ~5s with a diagnostic; after freeing watchers all 56 pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Unmatched profile keys now receive clearer launch notices, including a suggested agent name when available.
  • Event waiters now time out with details about the unmatched pattern and recent events instead of remaining pending indefinitely.

Walkthrough

The changes clarify notices for unmatched profile keys and add a five-second timeout with diagnostic output to the SSE test event waiter.

Changes: Unmatched profile-key notices

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update unmatched-key notices extensions/gentle-ai.ts, tests/gentle-ai.test.ts	Notices now identify profile keys that match no configured agent. Keys without suggestions are reported as ignored at launch; available suggestions remain in the notice. Test expectations use the updated wording.

SSE test waiter timeout

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bound SSE event waits tests/design-canvas-server.test.ts	openEvents().waitFor rejects after five seconds without a match and includes the pattern and recent buffered event data. The timeout is cleared when a match arrives.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

The SSE tests can retain and process stale waiters after timeout, but the impact is limited to the test workflow.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#2600] requires SSE waiters to fail instead of hanging when filesystem events do not arrive. tests/design-canvas-server.test.ts now rejects each unmatched waitFor after 5 seconds and includes the recent buffered stream tail in the error. Issue [#2600] also requires clearer unmatched profile-key notices. extensions/gentle-ai.ts now states that the key matches no agent configured in gentle-shell and preserves the suggestion and singular/plural handling. Updated tests cover the new notices.

Remove timed-out waiters from waiters.

The timeout rejects the promise but leaves its waiter in the registry. A later event chunk can still run pattern.exec and call the resolver for that rejected promise. Until the stream is destroyed, the waiter retains its pattern and callback and adds unnecessary event-processing work.

Suggested fix

 	const waitFor = (pattern: RegExp) => new Promise<RegExpExecArray>((resolve, reject) => {
-		const timeout = setTimeout(() => reject(new Error(`events never matched ${pattern} within 5s; got: ${JSON.stringify(buffer.slice(-200))}`)), 5000);
+		let waiter: { pattern: RegExp; resolve: (match: RegExpExecArray) => void } | undefined;
+		const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
+			if (waiter) {
+				const index = waiters.indexOf(waiter);
+				if (index !== -1) waiters.splice(index, 1);
+			}
+			reject(new Error(`events never matched ${pattern} within 5s; got: ${JSON.stringify(buffer.slice(-200))}`));
+		}, 5000);
 		const settle = (match: RegExpExecArray) => { clearTimeout(timeout); resolve(match); };
 		const match = pattern.exec(buffer);
-		if (match) settle(match); else waiters.push({ pattern, resolve: settle });
+		if (match) settle(match); else {
+			waiter = { pattern, resolve: settle };
+			waiters.push(waiter);
+		}
 	});
