* FEATURE: Native PDF support
This amends it so we use PDF Reader gem to extract text from PDFs
* This means that our simple pdf eval passes at last
* fix spec
* skip test in CI
* test file support
* Update lib/utils/image_to_text.rb

This PR introduces several enhancements and refactorings to the AI Persona and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) functionalities within the discourse-ai plugin. Here's a breakdown of the changes:
**1. LLM Model Association for RAG and Personas:**
- **New Database Columns:** Adds `rag_llm_model_id` to both `ai_personas` and `ai_tools` tables. This allows specifying a dedicated LLM for RAG indexing, separate from the persona's primary LLM. Adds `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` to `ai_personas`.
- **Migration:** Includes a migration (`20250210032345_migrate_persona_to_llm_model_id.rb`) to populate the new `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` columns in `ai_personas` based on the existing `default_llm` and `question_consolidator_llm` string columns, and a post migration to remove the latter.
- **Model Changes:** The `AiPersona` and `AiTool` models now `belong_to` an `LlmModel` via `rag_llm_model_id`. The `LlmModel.proxy` method now accepts an `LlmModel` instance instead of just an identifier. `AiPersona` now has `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` attributes.
- **UI Updates:** The AI Persona and AI Tool editors in the admin panel now allow selecting an LLM for RAG indexing (if PDF/image support is enabled). The RAG options component displays an LLM selector.
- **Serialization:** The serializers (`AiCustomToolSerializer`, `AiCustomToolListSerializer`, `LocalizedAiPersonaSerializer`) have been updated to include the new `rag_llm_model_id`, `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` attributes.
**2. PDF and Image Support for RAG:**
- **Site Setting:** Introduces a new hidden site setting, `ai_rag_pdf_images_enabled`, to control whether PDF and image files can be indexed for RAG. This defaults to `false`.
- **File Upload Validation:** The `RagDocumentFragmentsController` now checks the `ai_rag_pdf_images_enabled` setting and allows PDF, PNG, JPG, and JPEG files if enabled. Error handling is included for cases where PDF/image indexing is attempted with the setting disabled.
- **PDF Processing:** Adds a new utility class, `DiscourseAi::Utils::PdfToImages`, which uses ImageMagick (`magick`) to convert PDF pages into individual PNG images. A maximum PDF size and conversion timeout are enforced.
- **Image Processing:** A new utility class, `DiscourseAi::Utils::ImageToText`, is included to handle OCR for the images and PDFs.
- **RAG Digestion Job:** The `DigestRagUpload` job now handles PDF and image uploads. It uses `PdfToImages` and `ImageToText` to extract text and create document fragments.
- **UI Updates:** The RAG uploader component now accepts PDF and image file types if `ai_rag_pdf_images_enabled` is true. The UI text is adjusted to indicate supported file types.
**3. Refactoring and Improvements:**
- **LLM Enumeration:** The `DiscourseAi::Configuration::LlmEnumerator` now provides a `values_for_serialization` method, which returns a simplified array of LLM data (id, name, vision_enabled) suitable for use in serializers. This avoids exposing unnecessary details to the frontend.
- **AI Helper:** The `AiHelper::Assistant` now takes optional `helper_llm` and `image_caption_llm` parameters in its constructor, allowing for greater flexibility.
- **Bot and Persona Updates:** Several updates were made across the codebase, changing the string based association to a LLM to the new model based.
- **Audit Logs:** The `DiscourseAi::Completions::Endpoints::Base` now formats raw request payloads as pretty JSON for easier auditing.
- **Eval Script:** An evaluation script is included.
**4. Testing:**
- The PR introduces a new eval system for LLMs, this allows us to test how functionality works across various LLM providers. This lives in `/evals`
Adds a comprehensive quota management system for LLM models that allows:
- Setting per-group (applied per user in the group) token and usage limits with configurable durations
- Tracking and enforcing token/usage limits across user groups
- Quota reset periods (hourly, daily, weekly, or custom)
- Admin UI for managing quotas with real-time updates
This system provides granular control over LLM API usage by allowing admins
to define limits on both total tokens and number of requests per group.
Supports multiple concurrent quotas per model and automatically handles
quota resets.

This allows custom tools access to uploads and sophisticated searches using embedding.
It introduces:
- A shared front end for listing and uploading files (shared with personas)
- Backend implementation of index.search function within a custom tool.
Custom tools now may search through uploaded files
function invoke(params) {
return index.search(params.query)
}
This means that RAG implementers now may preload tools with knowledge and have high fidelity over
the search.
The search function support
specifying max results
specifying a subset of files to search (from uploads)
Also
- Improved documentation for tools (when creating a tool a preamble explains all the functionality)
- uploads were a bit finicky, fixed an edge case where the UI would not show them as updated
