initialized implementation evidence log. * `.spec_system/specs/phase40-session11-chat-model-selector-and-context-meter/tasks.md` - checked T001 after evidence was recorded. **Verification**: * Command/check: `sed -n '1,260p' src/lib/hermes-types.ts` * Result: PASS - model catalog, configured provider, default, and MoA mixture contracts are present. * Evidence: Inspected `HermesModelsBody`, `HermesModelGroup`, `HermesModelEntry`, and `HermesModelMixture` declarations. * Command/check: `sed -n '1,320p' src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts && sed -n '321,760p' src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts` * Result: PASS -

added selected-model state, derivation, preferred default selection, and revalidation effect. **Verification**: * Command/check: `sed -n '1,220p' src/components/hermes/chat/hermes-chat-tab.tsx` * Result: PASS - state ownership and revalidation logic are present in `HermesChatTab`. * Evidence: Inspected `selectedModelId`, `modelOptions`, `preferredModel`, `selectedModel`, and the model refresh `useEffect`. * UI product-surface check: N/A - state-only task; visible controls are integrated in T008. * UI craft check: N/A - no layout changed in this task. *** ### Task T008 - Integrate Selector And Context Meter Into Composer Toolbar **Started**: 2026-07-03 06:34 **Completed**: 2026-07-03 06:37 **Duration**: 3 minutes **Notes**: * Added stable toolbar slots to `ChatComposer`. * Rendered `ModelSelector` and `ContextMeter` from `HermesChatTab` using the active model and current draft/session/stream estimate. * Selector is disabled while sends are in-flight; the meter remains visible as a read-only estimate. **Files Changed**: * `src/components/hermes/chat/chat-composer.tsx` -

send behavior only. * UI craft check: N/A - no layout changed in this task. *** ### Task T012 - Preserve Demo/Read-Only And Model-Data Failure States **Started**: 2026-07-03 06:40 **Completed**: 2026-07-03 06:41 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Model selector renders safe labels for idle, loading, empty, error, offline, token-failure, demo, and success-without-options states. * Context meter uses fallback context copy when selected model metadata is absent and bounds fallback reason text. * Demo model views flow through the same `models` prop as live views. **Files Changed**: * `src/components/hermes/chat/model-selector.tsx` - safe model-state copy and disabled unavailable selector states. * `src/components/hermes/chat/context-meter.tsx` - bounded fallback source labeling. * `src/components/hermes/hermes-read-only-page.tsx` - demo/live models view passed into chat. **Verification**: * Command/check: `sed -n '1,160p' src/components/hermes/chat/model-selector.tsx && sed -n '1,180p' src/components/hermes/chat/context-meter.tsx` * Result: PASS - failure-state copy is product-facing and does not render raw query errors or bridge diagnostics. * Evidence: Inspected `modelStateCopy`, disabled selector state, `boundedReason`, and context fallback text. * UI product-surface check: PASS - controls expose only model availability, MoA, and approximate context information; no raw local paths, auth data, tokens, or account IDs are introduced. * UI craft check: PASS - loading/unavailable states keep the same fixed control dimensions as ready states. *** ### Task T013 -
