- Around line 13-14: Replace the placeholder artifact in the formula’s url with
a published wally-named v0.5.4 archive, then update its sha256 value to the
archive’s real SHA-256. Remove the placeholder comment and retain the existing
version/platform target.
In `@src/commands/cmd_default_models.cpp`:
- Line 39: Update the command handling around the clear branch in
cmd_default_models so providing both a model identifier and --clear is rejected
as an invalid combination before deleting the saved default; retain the existing
clear behavior when no model identifier is supplied.
- Line 19: Remove const from the local std::string variable effective in the
ResolveDefaultModel flow so the returned string can be moved instead of copied;
leave the existing prefs::ResolveModel call and subsequent behavior unchanged.
In `@src/config/preferences.cpp`:
- Line 71: Update the preferences read/write transaction so a per-profile
inter-process lock is acquired before ReadFile() and held through WriteFile().
Replace the fixed “preferences.json.tmp” construction near kFileName with a
unique temporary filename generated while that lock is held, preserving the
existing atomic rename flow.
In `@tests/test_wally_unit.cpp`:
- Around line 2532-2533: Update the preference-loading test around
FileDefaultModel and EffectiveDefaultModel to cover the unsafe persisted ID
case, including the encoded bad ID, and ensure loaded model IDs are validated
with harness::ModelIdIsSafe before being returned. Preserve rejection of IDs
that SetDefaultModel would reject.

Do not publish the formula with a placeholder artifact.
The changed URL targets an asset that the comment states is not published. The all-zero SHA-256 then causes Homebrew verification to fail. Publish the archive and update the formula with its real SHA-256 before this version is released.

Remove const from effective.
ResolveDefaultModel returns this named std::string. Because effective is const, the return cannot use the move constructor and copies the string instead.
Proposed fix
- const std::string effective = prefs::ResolveModel(explicit_model);
+ std::string effective = prefs::ResolveModel(explicit_model);📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Use a unique temporary file and lock the full update transaction.
Every write uses preferences.json.tmp. Two concurrent set or --clear commands can write and rename the same file. This can corrupt preferences.json or lose a saved default.
Use a per-profile inter-process lock from ReadFile() through WriteFile(). Use a unique temporary filename inside that lock.

Reject unsafe IDs loaded from preferences.json.
FileDefaultModel only checks for a non-empty string. A valid file containing "bad<id>" is accepted even though SetDefaultModel rejects the same ID. Add this case here, and validate persisted IDs with harness::ModelIdIsSafe before returning them.

Adds a default model for harness launches, so you don't retype
-m glm-5.3-flashevery time, and cleans up the
--helpgrouping. Cuts release 0.5.4.Default model
wally default-models glm-5.3-flashsaves a default;wally default-modelsshows it;
wally default-models --clearremoves it. When a launch gets no-m,the saved default fills in and the launch prints "using default model X" so
nothing is picked silently. Precedence: an explicit
-mwins, thenWALLY_DEFAULT_MODEL, then the saved file, then empty (today's passthrough).Applies to all six launch commands (opencode, codex, claude-code, claude-desktop,
clion, rustrover). Stored in
preferences.jsonnext tocredentials.json, so itfollows
WALLY_PROFILE_DIR. Set-time validation is a safe-id check only; a hostedid is not in the local catalog, so real validity stays with the launch path.
Help grouping
Regrouped the top-level
--helpso the on-device vs cloud split is visible:Generate (on-device), On-device models, Serve & benchmark (on-device), About,
Cloud account, and Coding agents (local or hosted). The agents carry that tag
because they run either a local or a hosted model behind the same command.
Tests
Two hermetic unit tests (temp
WALLY_PROFILE_DIR, no network): resolutionprecedence, and set/clear/reject-bad-id/corrupt-file. Full suite 39/39 green.
Verified end to end against the dev build.
