The settings panel collapsed four causes into one message -- "the picked
preset's own values could not be read" -- with no indication of what to do
about it.
The overwhelmingly common cause has an obvious fix, and it isn't an edge
case: an install pulls its sidecar as SIDECAR_TAG:-latest regardless of
which Bambuddy channel it is on, so a current Bambuddy talking to a
sidecar that predates POST /profiles/resolve is the normal state, not a
misconfiguration. Those users would have seen an amber warning on every
slice with nothing pointing at the sidecar image.
resolve_profile now returns ResolvedProfile(values, reason) instead of
None for everything, the route passes the reason through, and the panel
picks its message from it:
sidecar_outdated -> name the fix: update the sidecar image
sidecar_unavailable -> the sidecar did not answer
not_configured -> no sidecar is configured
preset_unresolved -> the previous generic wording
A request that fails outright maps to sidecar_unavailable, since a
backend we cannot reach and a sidecar that will not answer are the same
thing from the dialog.
Every variant still ends with "anything you don't change still uses the
preset" -- that reassurance is the point of the notice, and it is true
whichever way the lookup failed.
Tests pin the distinction rather than just the happy path: a 404 and a
500 must produce different reasons, and each panel case asserts both that
its own message appears and that the "update the sidecar image" line does
not leak into the others.
The panel baselined every field on the option schema's compiled-in
defaults, so a preset setting a 0.42mm line width displayed 0 -- the C++
default meaning "derive from the nozzle". Every field was affected; the
Line width group just made it obvious.
Bambuddy cannot answer this itself. A standard-tier pick is only an
{inherits: ...} stub on our side, and local/cloud presets are deltas whose
remainder lives in the profile tree bundled inside the running sidecar.
The values now come from the sidecar's POST /profiles/resolve, which runs
the same resolver /slice does against the same profiles, so what the panel
shows cannot disagree with what a slice produces. Deliberately not the
local orca_profiles resolver: it walks OrcaSlicer's published tree, which
can differ from the image actually installed.
An untouched field shows the preset's value and reverting returns to it.
isModified compares against that baseline too, so fields the preset moved
off the C++ default are no longer flagged as user edits, and values nobody
typed are no longer sent. When the values can't be read -- sidecar offline
or older than the endpoint -- the panel falls back to schema defaults and
says so rather than presenting them as the preset's.
Row layout, from screenshots:
- The control column is anchored to the right edge at a fixed width. It
had been packed left after a fixed label column, leaving the values
stranded mid-container with dead space beside them.
- Units are no longer truncated to "mm o...". The cap fitted the common
"mm" but not "mm or %" or "mm/s² or %".
- The "from file" tick moved ahead of the control it qualifies; it used to
sit past the unit at the row's right edge, reading as unrelated.
Both the unit and the control keep fixed widths, and the tick's slot is
reserved on rows without one -- sizing any of them to content makes each
row's input land at a different x and the column comes out ragged.
Also fixes a field that could not be cleared: emptying a free-text input
dropped the key, so it snapped back to the baseline and retyping appended
to it ("0.42" + "0.5" = "0.420.5"). The number branch was fixed earlier;
the text branch -- coFloatOrPercent, coString, the vector types -- was
not, and the regression test used a number input so it never caught it.
Requires a sidecar built from orca-slicer-api 4b664b7 or later. Older
images 404 the endpoint, which is handled as the fallback above.
