Fix web model picker scope, missing Auto Router entries, and transcript horizontal scroll

[ianwalter]

Summary

Fixes three Pi Web defects, each reproduced and verified end to end against a live daemon (model picker contents checked through the browser WebSocket):

1. Model picker showed every model instead of the enabledModels scope

The managed get_session_options path filtered by record.scopedModels — but only TUI bridges ever populate that (via agent.hello/agent.scope). Web-created (managed) sessions therefore listed all ~50 authenticated models.

Managed runtimes are spawned without --models, so their scope is exactly the enabledModels patterns in the shared settings file. New web/server/modelScope.ts resolves those patterns daemon-side with Pi's matching semantics:

• exact provider/id or bare id (case-insensitive), partial id/name fallback
• minimatch-style globs (*, ?, [...]) that never cross a / — this is what makes auto/* work
• optional :<thinking-level> suffix stripping
• empty/missing/malformed settings ⇒ no filtering (same as Pi's picker)

Bridge records keep their forwarded resolved scope; managed sessions fall back to the settings patterns.

2. Auto Router entries never appeared at all

Root cause found by instrumenting the daemon: managed children were silently losing every pi-kit package extension (no auto provider, no /usage, no /worktree — only native models). The daemon spawned PATH-resolved pi (global 0.84.2) while itself importing pi-coding-agent 0.84.1; after the startup switch_session to a daemon-written session file, the version-skewed child ended up with the package dropped.

Managed runtimes now spawn the daemon's own pinned @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/rpc-entry under the daemon's Bun binary — same build, same runtime, no PATH ambiguity. PI_WEB_RPC_BIN overrides the executable for tests and wrapper setups.

Verified result: picker shows the 7 scoped models plus all 6 Auto Router entries (auto/auto, auto-low … auto-max), and extension commands are back.

3. Transcript horizontal scrollbar (input-placement regression)

.semantic-edit-diff was sized min-width: max-content with overflow: hidden and no clipping ancestor, so any wide diff row pushed the entire transcript column sideways (reproduced deterministically: +2506px overflow from one 400-char row). It now scrolls internally (max-width: 100%; overflow-x: auto) like pre/table already do, and the transcript scroller clips overflow-x as a backstop against future regressions.

Testing

• New tests/web-model-scope.test.ts (8 tests): exact/glob/partial matching, auto/*, slash-crossing globs, :thinking suffix, settings-file parsing edge cases
• tests/web-server.test.ts: faked pi daemons now opt in via PI_WEB_RPC_BIN
• Full suite: 361 pass / 0 fail; bun run check (3× tsc) and biome clean
• Live verification: fresh + aged + restarted/resumed managed sessions all return the scoped list with Auto entries; wide diff content no longer overflows the transcript

Notes for reviewers

• Your live daemon (port 31415) is untouched — restart it to pick this up.
• The version-skew spawn bug also explains any "extension command missing from web" oddities (/usage, /worktree, subagent tooling) seen on managed sessions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Managed web sessions now respect configured model scopes, including provider, model, name, glob, and thinking-level matching.
  • Model options display applicable thinking levels for models permitted by the configured scope.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved web session startup reliability and support for custom runtime commands.
  • Prevented horizontal overflow in transcript views while enabling scrolling for wide edit diffs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds model-scope filtering for managed web sessions, improves managed RPC command resolution and test runtime wiring, and updates horizontal overflow behavior for transcript and diff containers.

Changes

Model-scope filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Scope resolution and filtering web/server/modelScope.ts, web/server/commandRouter.ts	Web sessions load enabledModels or scopedModels, match supported patterns, and filter available models before applying thinking levels.
Scope behavior validation tests/web-model-scope.test.ts	Tests cover exact matches, globs, Auto Router patterns, suffix handling, partial matches, empty scopes, and invalid settings files.

Managed RPC startup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
RPC command resolution and spawning web/server/managed-rpc-session.ts	Managed RPC sessions resolve and cache the child command from PI_WEB_RPC_BIN, the package entry point, or a pi fallback.
Runtime bridge test wiring tests/web-server.test.ts	Managed-session, resume, timeout, and worktree tests configure fake RPC executables through PI_WEB_RPC_BIN.

Web overflow behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Transcript and diff overflow web/client/semantic-session.tsx, web/client/styles.css	The transcript clips horizontal overflow. Semantic edit diffs fit their container and support horizontal scrolling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4c83a

Model-scope patterns using character classes such as [23] do not currently match as documented, which can hide valid models from affected users. The matcher should support those patterns or remove them from the contract before merging.

Poem

A rabbit hops through scopes of code,
Matching models on the road.
RPC boots with paths in sight,
Diffs now scroll and fit just right.
Tests guard each change with care.
Hop, hop—clean builds everywhere!
