## QA PASSED See QA report document: d5f83a7d-2f73-4fee-bb8c-556c2155cca0 **All hypotheses tested:** 1. Settings modal shows "Default Assignee" label - PASS 2. New issues via web get "agent" as default assignee - PASS 3. Setting can be changed via API - PASS 4. Changed setting takes effect for new issues - PASS No issues found. Fix verified working.

Fixed by updating the settings modal to properly label the default assignee setting and changing the system default from None to 'agent'. **Changes made:** 1. **Settings Modal (server/templates/modals/settings.html:10-13)** - Changed label from "Default Author" to "Default Assignee" - Updated placeholder from "Leave empty to use git user.name" to "agent" - Changed help text from "Default author name for new issues" to "Default assignee for new issues" 2. **Server-side default (server/routes/web.py:170)** - Changed default from `get_setting("issue.default.assignee", None)` to `get_setting("issue.default.assignee", "agent")` - This ensures new issues get "agent" as the assignee if no setting is configured **Testing:** - All tests pass (1165 passed, 39 skipped) - Deployed to trckr.roboalch.com - Settings modal displays correctly with "Default Assignee" label - System default is now "agent" **Note:** The functionality was already implemented - it just needed the label updated and the system default changed from None to "agent".
