Application settings

Overview

The Application settings allows you to customize various application-level behaviors in Faheem Code, including language preferences, notification settings, custom Git author configuration and more.

Setting maximum budget per conversation

To limit spending, go to Settings > Application and set a maximum budget per conversation (in USD) in the Maximum Budget Per Conversation field. Faheem Code will stop the conversation once the budget is reached, but you can choose to continue the conversation with a prompt.

Git author settings

Faheem Code provides the ability to customize the Git author information used when making commits and creating pull requests on your behalf.

By default, Faheem Code uses the following Git author information for all commits and pull requests:

• Username: faheemcode
• Email: no-reply@faheemcode.ai

To override the defaults:

1. Navigate to the Settings > Application page.
2. Under the Git Settings section, enter your preferred Git Username and Git Email.
3. Click Save Changes

Note

When you configure a custom Git author, Faheem Code will use your specified username and email as the primary author for commits and pull requests. Faheem Code will remain as a co-author.

Getting started checklist

The sidebar shows a Getting Started checklist after first-run onboarding. Toggle Show getting started checklist in Settings > Application to hide or show it. The setting persists across sessions. See First Time Setup for details.

Sandbox grouping strategy

The Sandbox Grouping Strategy setting controls where Faheem Code places new conversations started with your application settings.

Setting	Placement Behavior
No grouping	Start a new sandbox for each conversation
Group by newest	Use the newest available sandbox
Least recently used	Use the least recently used available sandbox
Fewest conversations	Use the available sandbox with the fewest conversations
Add to any	Use the first available sandbox

To change the setting:

1. Navigate to Settings > Application.
2. Select a value under Sandbox Grouping Strategy.
3. Click Save Changes.

Grouping can reduce sandbox startup time and sandbox count. Conversations in one sandbox share its filesystem, credentials, compute limits, and failure domain. The setting does not check whether a sandbox has enough CPU, memory, or disk for another conversation.

For API placement and sandbox lifecycle options, see Conversations And Sandboxes.
