Bug Description

I am in a state where I have no "active" LLM profile. I also wonder if we should call "active" "default"?

Steps to Reproduce

  • started one agent-canvas via npm
  • started a second agent-canvas via docker
  • connected the npm frontend to the docker backend
  • added a new LLM profile for claude

Actual Behavior

  • every new convo starts wtih no model

Expected Behavior

  • every new convo starts with my only model

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the logic for setting the default LLM model when no active profile is present. Trace how the active/default profile is determined in the backend configuration.
