DevAgentRadar → Factory Droid

You are helping me adopt a real coding-assistant change. Work only from the facts below. Do not invent features.

Context

Assistant: Factory Droid Proposal: Add custom models from the Droid terminal and pause scheduled loops from the chat pill Summary: Factory Droid v0.229.0 / Desktop v0.186.0 adds terminal custom-model add/edit/remove, form-or-JSON model editing, and per-session lists from settings plus the project. Pause, resume, or stop scheduled loops from the chat pill, quote Droid replies into the next message, and bind or disable the voice dictation key. Primary source: https://docs.factory.ai/changelog/release-notes.md

Why it matters

This release changes how you pick models and run loops, so those should become part of session setup instead of ad-hoc UI clicks. You can add, edit, and remove custom models from the terminal; in the app you can edit a custom model as a form or as raw JSON; a session now lists custom models from your settings and from its own project. The scheduled-loops pill above the chat input lists a session’s loops and can pause, resume, or stop them, which is the control surface for background work before you start a conflicting task. Quote a Droid reply by selecting text in a response and adding it to the next message, so follow-ups stay pinned to a specific earlier answer. Pick a single key that starts and stops voice dictation, or turn that shortcut off. Droid Shield no longer blocks a commit on identifiers or secrets already in the repository, and finished subagent runs no longer leave stray processes.

Suggested actions

1. From the Factory Droid terminal, add, edit, or remove your custom models so this session lists both settings-level and project-scoped custom models.
2. In the app, open one of your custom models and edit it as raw JSON when you need a portable definition to reuse across sessions or projects; otherwise keep the form editor.
3. Use the scheduled-loops pill above the chat input to pause or stop this session’s loops before starting a conflicting task; resume or stop from the same pill when you want them to continue or end.
4. Select the exact passage in a Droid reply and add it to your next message as a quote instead of restating the prior answer.
5. In app settings, pick a single key that starts and stops voice dictation, or turn the shortcut off if it conflicts with your editor bindings.

After you finish

Do not report this as applied to DevAgentRadar. You cannot write the visitor's loop.

Your job

1. Restate the change in one sentence.
2. Propose a minimal plan for my repo (or a throwaway pilot).
3. Implement only what I approve; prefer small diffs and tests.
4. Call out risks (permissions, breaking APIs, cost).

Start by confirming you understood the proposal.
