No profile selected.

Error message

No profile selected.

What it means

run_agent in src/agents.rs dispatches to a configured tool; when the configured tool is neither "claude" nor "opencode" it falls back to invoking `gen`, and bails with the same install message if find_gen() returns None. This is the runtime-invoke counterpart of the entry-list error (agents.rs:776).

Solutions

1. Install gen: cd <gen_repo_hint> && f install, or set GEN_REPO to the gen repo path.
2. Fix the agent config tool value to "claude" or "opencode" if gen was not intended.
3. Check get_agent_config source (env/config file) for a typo in the tool name.

Example fix

// before (config)
tool = "gen"
// after (either install gen)
+ export GEN_REPO=~/src/gen
+ flow agent review "..."
// or switch tool
+ tool = "opencode"

// ensure tool config resolves before invoking
let tool = std::env::var("FLOW_AGENT_TOOL").unwrap_or_default();
if !matches!(tool.as_str(), "claude" | "opencode")
    && which::which("gen").is_err() && std::env::var("GEN_REPO").is_err() {
    eprintln!("tool={tool} requires gen; install gen or set GEN_REPO");
}

match run_agent(name, prompt) {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("gen not found") => {
        eprintln!("install gen or set GEN_REPO, or configure tool=claude|opencode");
    }
    r => r?,
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking an agent whose configured tool string (from get_agent_config) is not "claude" or "opencode", while the gen binary/repo cannot be located.

Common situations: Config file setting tool to "gen" or a custom value on a machine without the gen repo; GEN_REPO unset after a machine migration; typo'd tool name in config silently falling through to the gen branch.
