Config Reset

Resetting DeepSeek TUI config is often faster than debugging a setup you no longer trust

Once provider values, file edits, and shell variables start conflicting, a clean reset can be more efficient than continuing to patch an unclear config state.

When reset is the right move

Resetting is justified when repeated edits no longer change behavior in predictable ways, or when you inherited an old config from a different provider path.

What to preserve before resetting

Keep a backup of the current config file.
Record any custom provider values you still want later.
Check whether environment variables are overriding the file anyway.
