aiti-model-recent

❝ Frequently used models should be at your fingertips. ❞

The model selector's "recently used" data provider extension (an outcome of pi-web deforking P4 externalization): a pure data service with zero UI — when the core ModelSelector panel renders the recently-used section it fetches data synchronously via the client service; UI belongs to the host, data belongs to the extension (the minimal seam form).

Contract

• client service aiti-model-recent.recentOptions: getRecent({ open, filter, sortedOptions }) → panel group entries (only when the panel is open and not in search state; reverse order by recorded time; delisted models disappear automatically; dedup; cap 8)
• pick event: listens on the window pi-web:model-picked (detail {provider, modelId}) → LRU record (move to front / dedup / truncate)
• Storage: localStorage pi-web:recent-models — identical to the original core implementation, zero data migration
• Immediate materialization: clientImmediately: true; the service must be registered before the panel is first opened

feature switch

modelRecent.enabled off → service unregistered → the core panel has no "recently used" section (graceful degradation, data retained).

Origin

Externalized from the recent inline implementation (~110 lines) of the pi-web fork's components/ModelSelector.tsx (pi-web-model-selector-ext-plan.md, executed after re-measuring the criteria on 2026-09-16); the 9 LRU/pick unit tests migrated into this extension along with the logic.
