Summary

New top-level Behavior section in the nav rail (between Models and Indexer) with the robot icon
Moves Default tool backend + Default agent mode radio groups out of Indexer > Status into their dedicated home
Adds a read-only summary card in BehaviorRight; per-thread overrides in the composer still take precedence
Reverts the Indexer > Status hint copy to indexing-only language
Drops redundant per-control help text now that the section header already conveys the same message

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-18-behavior-settings-home-design.md
Plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-18-behavior-settings-home.md

Test plan

bun run lint clean
bun run build clean (Next.js 16 static export)
Manual smoke: Behavior page renders, both controls round-trip to settings.json
Manual smoke: webview reload preserves selections
Manual smoke: Indexer > Status no longer shows the moved controls and hint reads "Progress and reindexing."
Manual smoke: per-thread mode/backend override in the composer still wins over the Behavior defaults

docs(specs): tier 2 — behavior settings home + history compression 5e4490aa12

Two specs for the remaining Tier 2 work:

- 2026-05-18-behavior-settings-home-design.md — moves the
  default-tool-backend + default-agent-mode controls out of
  Indexer > Status into a dedicated top-level Behavior section.
  Closes the v1b carry-over from the agent-modes design.

- 2026-05-18-history-compression-design.md — adds a backend
  compressor that summarises older turns when projected token
  cost crosses a mode-aware percentage of the model's context
  window. Incremental caching via SSE round-trip. v1 covers
  older-turn compression only; reasoning compaction and
  tool-result stubbing are deferred.

docs(plans): tier 2 — behavior settings home + history compression f917b2de67

Two implementation plans for the remaining Tier 2 items, one per
spec. Each plan stands alone and produces a working, testable
slice on its own branch.

- 2026-05-18-behavior-settings-home.md — 7 mechanical tasks,
  frontend only, moves chat defaults out of Indexer > Status.
- 2026-05-18-history-compression.md — 16 TDD-driven tasks
  spanning backend (Compressor + cache reuse/extension/failure
  fallback), SSE wire format, and frontend (per-session cache
  + telemetry chip).

refactor(behavior): drop redundant per-control form-help copy d82475ec53

The section header already says "Defaults for new chat threads —
existing threads keep their per-thread choice." The per-control
form-help blocks repeated that verbatim. Drop them.
