+** CANCELLED [#B] AI Open Work
+CLOSED: [2026-06-23 Tue]
+gptel archived 2026-06-23 to archive/gptel/ (rarely used). The child issues below — ai-rewrite directive plumbing, ai-conversations bugs, the stale-elpa / gptel-magit shadow, model-switch dedup — are all moot against archived code. Kept for reference; detail also in git history.
+*** CANCELLED [#B] ai-rewrite: chosen directive never reaches the request :bug:solo:
 =modules/ai-rewrite.el:64= — the directive is let-bound around =(call-interactively #'gptel-rewrite)=, but gptel-rewrite is a transient prefix that returns when the menu shows; the send resolves the directive AFTER the binding unwound (verified against ~/code/gptel/gptel-rewrite.el:780-799). The picker's choice is silently dropped — the module's core feature is inert. Set =gptel--rewrite-directive= buffer-locally (restore via =gptel-post-rewrite-functions=) or use a self-removing global hook entry. From the 2026-06 config audit.

+*** CANCELLED [#B] Stale elpa gptel shadows the local fork — likely the gptel-magit root :bug:quick:solo:next:
 Needs from Craig: can't be done standalone. I tried deleting elpa/gptel-0.9.8.5 — the fork loaded fine and gptel-magit still worked via use-package autoloads, but package activation then printed "Unable to activate gptel-magit / Required gptel-0.9.8 unavailable" on every startup, so I reverted. To remove the shadow we must also resolve gptel-magit's package dependency: either drop gptel-magit's package dep (load it via load-path like the gptel fork), or repackage the fork into .localrepo as gptel. Tell me which and I'll do it; this pairs with the gptel-magit investigation.
 =elpa/gptel-0.9.8.5= is still installed alongside the =~/code/gptel= fork (=ai-config.el:383=); package activation puts the elpa dir + autoloads on load-path, so which copy wins depends on ordering, and a mixed load (fork .el + elpa .elc) produces "impossible" bugs. =gptel-magit= (elpa) declares gptel as a dependency, so IT may be pulling the stale copy — check this first when working the open "[#B] Investigate gptel-magit not working properly" task. Fix: =package-delete= the elpa gptel + remove from .localrepo so the fork is the only copy on disk. From the 2026-06 config audit.
 
 2026-06-15: tried deleting =elpa/gptel-0.9.8.5= standalone. The fork loaded correctly and gptel-magit still worked via use-package =:commands= autoloads, BUT package activation then printed "Unable to activate package gptel-magit / Required package gptel-0.9.8 unavailable" on every startup and test run (gptel-magit declares gptel as a package dependency that no longer resolves). Reverted. This can't be done standalone — it must be paired with the gptel-magit dependency fix (drop gptel-magit's package dep, or repackage the fork into .localrepo as gptel). Do it together with the gptel-magit investigation task.

+*** CANCELLED [#C] ai-conversations: dead-buffer load, role flattening, non-atomic writes :bug:solo:
 From the 2026-06 config audit, =modules/ai-conversations.el=:
 - =:324= — load in a fresh session does =get-buffer-create "*AI-Assistant*"= (plain fundamental-mode buffer); =--ensure-ai-buffer= then sees it exists and never calls =(gptel)=. Sending doesn't work, autosave self-cancels (requires gptel-mode). Use =get-buffer= for the check; let ensure create. The browser RET/l path inherits this.
 - =:240= — persistence drops gptel's =response= text properties, so a reloaded history replays to the model as ONE user message (model re-reads its own answers as Craig's words). Adopt gptel's native bounds persistence or re-mark on load from the "* Backend:" headings.
 - =:248= — =write-region= straight at the target; crash mid-write truncates the only copy of the history (autosave hits this constantly). Temp + rename.
 - =:140= — three overlapping autosave mechanisms (after-send advice that fires before the response exists, post-response hook, 60s timer). Keep the hook; drop the advice (and likely the timer).

+*** CANCELLED [#C] Dedup gptel model-switch commands — keep switch-backend or fold into change-model :bug:
 =cj/gptel-change-model= (C-; a m) already does backend+model switching and interns correctly, so =cj/gptel-switch-backend= (C-; a B) is arguably redundant now that its crash is fixed. Decision for Craig: keep both, or delete =cj/gptel-switch-backend= plus its C-; a B binding and keep one model-switch command. From the 2026-06 config-audit follow-up.
