Keep the settings path out of the error detail.

If the file read fails, filePath copies an unbounded launch-argument value into TextGenerationError.detail and its user-facing message. The path can contain sensitive text. Use a fixed detail and retain the read failure in cause. As per coding guidelines, “Attributes and log annotations stay bounded: no raw payloads, command arguments or output, signed URLs, credentials, query strings, or arbitrary defect text.” As per path instructions, service errors use “structured, bounded attributes.”

Review comment at @apps/server/src/textGeneration/ClaudeTextGeneration.ts at
line 151:
Update the Claude settings file read error mapping around Effect.mapError and
fail so TextGenerationError.detail uses a fixed, bounded message instead of
interpolating filePath, while preserving the original read failure as the error
cause.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

Preserve an explicit fastMode: false selection.

getProviderOptionDescriptors preserves selected boolean values, including false. The current truthy check ignores that selection and retains launch fastMode: true. Use a type check so an explicit false overrides launch settings while no T3 selection leaves the launch value unchanged.

-      ...(fastMode ? { fastMode: true } : {}),
+      ...(typeof fastMode === "boolean" ? { fastMode } : {}),

Update the fastMode option merge in the ClaudeTextGeneration flow to preserve
explicit boolean selections: let false override launch settings, and leave the
launch value unchanged when no boolean selection is provided.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

🟠 High textGeneration/ClaudeTextGeneration.ts:210

Selecting fastMode: false still sends fastMode: true when the launch settings enable it, so the request runs in fast mode despite the explicit normal-mode selection. The conditional only emits an override for true; emit the selected value whenever it is a boolean, as thinking does.
