bug: thread.json not automatically updated before clicking send button

[0xHieu01]

Describe the bug
thread.json not automatically updated before clicking send button

Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. As an user, I modified thread title, assistant instruction.
2. Then, I selected the model.
3. Due to the thread.json not automatically updated, after I selected the model, all typed input are automatically reset to default.
4. Therefore, user need to retype the thread title and assistant instruction after selecting model.

Expected behavior
As a discussion in the meeting with @0xSage, we currently expect that the thread.json is automatically generated and updated when user doing any action like type an input to thread title, assistant instruction or selecting model. Thus, when users selecting the model, it's should be remain the same thread title and assistant instruction as thread.json is already created.

@hieu-jan I'd rephrase the bug to be clearer.

Expected:

• Create thread.json file as soon as user clicks New Thread
• This way, thread settings changes are saved to the New Thread
• Even if users haven't sent any messages in thread.

Current:

• User clicks New Thread
• New thread is created in UI only
• User makes changes to thread.json in right panel UI
• User expects changes to be saved.
• But changes are not saved to thread.json
• Changes are only saved after user sends a message

We expect this to be a common UX and it needs to be handled. Users are highly likely to configure parameters first, before sending their first message.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense, will fix this.

With the latest UX update from @urmauur, users will always have to click 'Save'; otherwise, an error popup will appear. cmiiw @urmauur

As discussed with @louis-jan, the Save button is no longer available, so we will need the thread.json to be automatically created / updated on any changes.
