The settings row and the composer seat differ in where they sit, what they call the current value, and when they refuse a pick — not in how the picker behaves. Extracting it also stops the row from reading like the permission row it has nothing to do with.

The agent-preset surface: one General-settings row choosing which preset new sessions are composed from.
Why it is a new-session preference
A session's preset is fixed when the session is created — the host refuses to adopt an existing session under a different one, because that session's history was produced under the first preset's tools. So this row cannot be a live switch, and it says so: changing it applies to sessions started afterwards while running sessions keep the composition they began with.
The composer seat
A second surface, in the composer tool row left of the model select: the preset THIS session runs. It shows the session's own recorded preset rather than the deployment default, because a resumed session runs what it was created with.
The switch exists only while the conversation has not started. After the first turn the seat becomes a plain label — offering a disabled menu would suggest the choice is merely unavailable rather than gone. The host enforces the same rule and answers agent-preset-locked, so a stale client cannot slip a switch past it.
What it reads and writes
Options and the current default both come from one agentPreset.list call. The roster already reports which id a session with no explicit choice gets, so the row needs no settings-schema introspection; the write targets the agent-presets settings namespace's default field, which is what the host resolves at creation.
A locally authored preset is exactly as privileged as the plugins it names, so the list marks user rows rather than presenting every preset as shipped and vetted.
The row re-reads on settings/changed for its own namespace and on connection/reset: the roster is a live directory and the default is a settings field, so an external edit or a reconnect can both move it.
When the row is absent
A deployment that composes no presets answers with an empty roster, and the row renders nothing — every session then shares the host composition, and there is nothing to choose between.
Model Experience
Indirectly, through the preset a later session is composed from; dsh-agent-presets owns what that composition puts in front of the model.
KV Cache effect
No direct invalidation. Changing the default never touches a running session's prefix; a session created afterwards establishes its own prefix from its own composition.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- Presets are listed by id — a preset carries no display metadata, so the menu shows directory names.
- No authoring — creating, editing, or deleting a preset is a filesystem act; this surface only chooses among what the roster supplies.
