`agentPreset.select` recomposes one session's agent from a different preset. It is allowed only while the session is blank — once a turn has run, that history was produced under the preset's tools and swapping them would strand logged tool calls, so the attempt answers `agent-preset-locked`. The agent and the session survive; only the preset subtree is swapped. That was forced by what the host actually owns: api-proxy discards the `AgentHandle` it creates, and there is no delete RPC, so neither disposing nor recreating the session was available. Swapping the subtree is also the better answer — the session id, its workspace attachment, and its projections all stay put. `recompose` is unmount-then-mount because two compositions cannot coexist: both would register the same tool names into one layer. So it resolves the new preset BEFORE tearing anything down (an unknown id is a no-op) and restores the previous composition when the new one fails to mount, rather than leaving the agent with no tools at all. Both paths are pinned by test. Also restores the English half of the `agentPreset.list` README paragraph, which was lost before the previous commit — and `verify-translation-pairing --write` recorded the pair as consistent anyway, because it records whatever state it finds rather than checking the two sides say the same thing.
preset/ — per-session agent composition
English | 中文
An agent preset is a directory holding one agent.cordis.yml. Mounting it under an agent's scope context gives that session its own tools and prompt sections while every other live session keeps its own, so one process can run several differently composed agents at once.

persona/ |
The agent persona as a composable row, so a preset can change identity and not only tools | — |
The composition split this group assumes: registries and cross-session facilities are process singletons and stay in the host composition, while a preset carries what one agent contributes to them. A preset that names a row publishing a process-global service is rejected at mount rather than allowed to collide with the next session.
