fix: local config — toolOverrides, config name, agent refresh

[shanevcantwell]

Summary

Three fixes discovered during local model testing (LM Studio + config.yaml on Windows/WSL). All affect the non-cloud codepath — local models, custom configs, system message tools — that hasn't been tested as a cohesive surface.

• Fix toolOverrides not applied in system message tools path #11060: toolOverrides (feat: add tool prompt override support in .continuerc.json #9314) not applied in system message tools path — overrides were serialized incompletely and never wired into streamNormalInput.ts for models using system message tools instead of native tool calling
• Fix Local Config display name ignores config.yaml name field #11061: "Local Config" display name ignores config.yaml name field — LocalProfileLoader hardcoded the title for the default profile instead of reading it from the config file
• Fix New agent configs don't appear until file watcher fires #11062: New agent files don't appear until file watcher fires — config/newAssistantFile handler called reloadConfig (current profile only) instead of refreshAll (rebuilds profile list)

Context

PR #9314 added toolOverrides to let users customize tool descriptions and disable tools per-model. It worked for models using the native tools API, but the system message tools path (used by local models with capabilities: []) was never wired up. The serialization gap meant toolOverrides never reached the GUI's Redux store, and streamNormalInput.ts passed raw selectActiveTools() output directly to the system message builder without applying overrides.

The other two bugs (config name, agent refresh) were found during the same testing session and affect the same local config surface.

Changes

File	Change
core/index.d.ts	Add toolOverrides?: ToolOverride[] to ModelDescription
core/config/load.ts	Serialize toolOverrides in llmToSerializedModelDescription()
gui/src/redux/thunks/streamNormalInput.ts	Import and apply applyToolOverrides for both native and system message tools paths
core/tools/applyToolOverrides.ts	Fall through description override to systemMessageDescription.prefix for built-in tools
core/config/profile/LocalProfileLoader.ts	Read name from primary config file in constructor
core/core.ts	reloadConfig → refreshAll in config/newAssistantFile handler

Test plan

• 30 tests across 4 new test files, all passing
• VSIX built and manually verified on Windows with LM Studio + qwen3.5-35b
• WSL remote verification
• CI

Summary by cubic

Fixes three local-config issues: per-model toolOverrides now apply to system-message tools, the default profile uses the config.yaml name, and new agent files appear immediately. Improves the local model and custom config experience.

• Bug Fixes
  • Tools: serialize toolOverrides in ModelDescription; apply them in both native and system-message paths; description override updates systemMessageDescription.prefix for built-in tools.
  • Profile name: LocalProfileLoader reads the name from the primary config file and guards undefined; falls back to “Local Config” if missing/invalid.
  • Agent refresh: config/newAssistantFile now calls refreshAll to rebuild the profile list so new files show up immediately.
  • Tests: added coverage for overrides, profile naming, and agent refresh; fixed ModelRole import in tests to resolve CI TS2459.
