No profile selected

Error message

No profile selected

What it means

Thrown by the compose mutation in FloatingGenerateBox if selectedProfileId is falsy when composeWithPersonality is called. It is a precondition guard: the API call requires a profile id, so composing without one is a programming/state error. The onError handler shows a destructive toast with the message (or a localized fallback).

Solutions

1. Disable the Compose button until selectedProfileId is truthy.
2. Auto-select a sensible default profile once the profile list resolves.
3. If triggered by a shortcut/hotkey, no-op when no profile is selected instead of calling the mutation.

Example fix

// before
<button onClick={() => composeMutation.mutate()}>Compose</button>
// after
<button disabled={!selectedProfileId} onClick={() => composeMutation.mutate()}>Compose</button>;

const canCompose = Boolean(selectedProfileId);
// Disable Compose until a profile is chosen:
<button disabled={!canCompose} onClick={() => composeMutation.mutate()} />

if (!selectedProfileId) {
  toast({ title: t('generation.compose.selectProfileFirst'), variant: 'destructive' });
  return;
}
try {
  await apiClient.composeWithPersonality(selectedProfileId);
} catch (e) {
  toast({ title: t('generation.compose.failedTitle'), description: (e as Error).message, variant: 'destructive' });
}

When it happens

Trigger: The Compose button is clicked before any voice profile is selected — e.g. profile list still loading, profile was deselected/deleted, or selectedProfileId state was reset. Can also fire from a keyboard shortcut that triggers compose regardless of selection.

Common situations: Race between profile fetch and user action on first paint. Profile deleted elsewhere while the generate box stayed mounted. Story route auto-compose triggered without a default profile.
