Task 01: Enforce executor-first profile selection

Intent

Prevent a portable last-used profile from changing the executor selected by task-source and workspace policy while preserving intentional workspace and local-source defaults.

Acceptance

• An ordinary repository-backed task with no workspace default selects Worktree even when the backend last-used profile is Local.
• Explicit Local workspace defaults, explicit unmanaged local paths, and repository-less tasks still select Local.
• A saved profile is restored only within the resolved executor, with existing eligible fallback behavior preserved when that executor has no profile.

TDD sequence

1. Add the Local-last-used/Worktree-default regression to task-create-dialog-effects-executor.test.ts and run it to confirm RED for the expected Local selection.
2. Add the workspace-default and source-constraint cases.
3. Change the smallest selection helpers/effects required in task-create-dialog-effects.ts and run the focused suite to GREEN.
4. Refactor helper names/log metadata only where necessary to describe executor compatibility.

Files likely touched

Dependencies

None.

Parallelism

sequential — this task owns the shared selection behavior required by the E2E task.

Inputs

• Spec sections What, Persistence guarantees, and Scenarios.
• Plan sections Confirmed root cause and Executor policy and profile restoration.
• ADR 0028, ADR 0041, and ADR-2026-08-01-repository-task-executor-defaults.

Verification

• cd apps && pnpm --filter @kandev/web test -- components/task-create-dialog-effects-executor.test.ts
• cd apps/web && pnpm run typecheck

Risks

• Independent effects can produce order-sensitive setter calls; assert the settled executor/profile pair through rerenders where needed.
• Do not remove or rewrite backend last-used persistence as part of this task.

Output contract

Report the RED failure, final files changed, focused test/typecheck results, remaining risks, and update this task plus plan.md status in the same conversation.
