The initial setup done in fb0d56324f
clashed with other plugins, I found this when trying to do the same
for Gamification. This uses a better routing setup and removes the
need to define the config nav link for Settings -- that is always inserted.

This commit introduces a new feature for AI Personas called the "Question Consolidator LLM". The purpose of the Question Consolidator is to consolidate a user's latest question into a self-contained, context-rich question before querying the vector database for relevant fragments. This helps improve the quality and relevance of the retrieved fragments.
Previous to this change we used the last 10 interactions, this is not ideal cause the RAG would "lock on" to an answer.
EG:
- User: how many cars are there in europe
- Model: detailed answer about cars in europe including the term car and vehicle many times
- User: Nice, what about trains are there in the US
In the above example "trains" and "US" becomes very low signal given there are pages and pages talking about cars and europe. This mean retrieval is sub optimal.
Instead, we pass the history to the "question consolidator", it would simply consolidate the question to "How many trains are there in the United States", which would make it fare easier for the vector db to find relevant content.
The llm used for question consolidator can often be less powerful than the model you are talking to, we recommend using lighter weight and fast models cause the task is very simple. This is configurable from the persona ui.
This PR also removes support for {uploads} placeholder, this is too complicated to get right and we want freedom to shift RAG implementation.
Key changes:
1. Added a new `question_consolidator_llm` column to the `ai_personas` table to store the LLM model used for question consolidation.
2. Implemented the `QuestionConsolidator` module which handles the logic for consolidating the user's latest question. It extracts the relevant user and model messages from the conversation history, truncates them if needed to fit within the token limit, and generates a consolidated question prompt.
3. Updated the `Persona` class to use the Question Consolidator LLM (if configured) when crafting the RAG fragments prompt. It passes the conversation context to the consolidator to generate a self-contained question.
4. Added UI elements in the AI Persona editor to allow selecting the Question Consolidator LLM. Also made some UI tweaks to conditionally show/hide certain options based on persona configuration.
5. Wrote unit tests for the QuestionConsolidator module and updated existing persona tests to cover the new functionality.
This feature enables AI Personas to better understand the context and intent behind a user's question by consolidating the conversation history into a single, focused question. This can lead to more relevant and accurate responses from the AI assistant.
Updating the editing model's rag_uploads in the editor component broke multi-file uploading. Instead, we'll keep the uploads in the uploader and update the model when we finish.
This PR also fast-tracks the initial update so we can show feedback to the user quickly, and allows uploading MD files.
Bug reported on https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-persona-upload-support/304049/11
* FIX: various RAG edge cases
- Nicer text to describe RAG, avoids the word RAG
- Do not attempt to save persona when removing uploads and it is not created
- Remove old code that avoided touching rag params on create
* FIX: Missing pause button for persona users
* Feature: allow specific users to debug ai request / response chains
This can help users easily tune RAG and figure out what is going
on with requests.
* discourse helper so it does not explode
* fix test
* simplify implementation
* FEATURE: allow tuning of RAG generation
- change chunking to be token based vs char based (which is more accurate)
- allow control over overlap / tokens per chunk and conversation snippets inserted
- UI to control new settings
* improve ui a bit
* fix various reindex issues
* reduce concurrency
* try ultra low queue ... concurrency 1 is too slow.
This PR lets you associate uploads to an AI persona, which we'll split and generate embeddings from. When building the system prompt to get a bot reply, we'll do a similarity search followed by a re-ranking (if available). This will let us find the most relevant fragments from the body of knowledge you associated with the persona, resulting in better, more informed responses.
For now, we'll only allow plain-text files, but this will change in the future.
Commits:
* FEATURE: RAG embeddings for the AI Bot
This first commit introduces a UI where admins can upload text files, which we'll store, split into fragments,
and generate embeddings of. In a next commit, we'll use those to give the bot additional information during
conversations.
* Basic asymmetric similarity search to provide guidance in system prompt
* Fix tests and lint
* Apply reranker to fragments
* Uploads filter, css adjustments and file validations
* Add placeholder for rag fragments
* Update annotations
This commit adds the ability to enable vision for AI personas, allowing them to understand images that are posted in the conversation.
For personas with vision enabled, any images the user has posted will be resized to be within the configured max_pixels limit, base64 encoded and included in the prompt sent to the AI provider.
The persona editor allows enabling/disabling vision and has a dropdown to select the max supported image size (low, medium, high). Vision is disabled by default.
This initial vision support has been tested and implemented with Anthropic's claude-3 models which accept images in a special format as part of the prompt.
Other integrations will need to be updated to support images.
Several specs were added to test the new functionality at the persona, prompt building and API layers.
- Gemini is omitted, pending API support for Gemini 1.5. Current Gemini bot is not performing well, adding images is unlikely to make it perform any better.
- Open AI is omitted, vision support on GPT-4 it limited in that the API has no tool support when images are enabled so we would need to full back to a different prompting technique, something that would add lots of complexity

This allows users to share a static page of an AI conversation with
the rest of the world.
By default this feature is disabled, it is enabled by turning on
ai_bot_allow_public_sharing via site settings
Precautions are taken when sharing
1. We make a carbonite copy
2. We minimize work generating page
3. We limit to 100 interactions
4. Many security checks - including disallowing if there is a mix
of users in the PM.
* Bonus commit, large PRs like this PR did not work with github tool
large objects would destroy context

1. Fix input fields in AI persona editor and make GitHub tool authentication optional
2. AI persona editor improvements and tool GitHub access token check
This pull request makes a few improvements:
- Adds `lang="en"` to number input fields in the AI persona editor to prevent localization issues
- Adds `step="any"` to allow fractional values for temperature and top_p settings
- Makes GitHub tool authentication contingent on `ai_bot_github_access_token` site setting being present
see: https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-bot-personas-don-t-accept-decimals-for-temperature-top-p/298243/7
1. Personas are now optionally mentionable, meaning that you can mention them either from public topics or PMs
- Mentioning from PMs helps "switch" persona mid conversation, meaning if you want to look up sites setting you can invoke the site setting bot, or if you want to generate an image you can invoke dall e
- Mentioning outside of PMs allows you to inject a bot reply in a topic trivially
- We also add the support for max_context_posts this allow you to limit the amount of context you feed in, which can help control costs
2. Add support for a "random picker" tool that can be used to pick random numbers
3. Clean up routing ai_personas -> ai-personas
4. Add Max Context Posts so users can control how much history a persona can consume (this is important for mentionable personas)

* FEATURE: allow personas to supply top_p and temperature params
Code assistance generally are more focused at a lower temperature
This amends it so SQL Helper runs at 0.2 temperature vs the more
common default across LLMs of 1.0.
Reduced temperature leads to more focused, concise and predictable
answers for the SQL Helper
* fix tests
* This is not perfect, but far better than what we do today
Instead of fishing for
1. Draft sequence
2. Draft body
We skip (2), this means the composer "only" needs 1 http request to
open, we also want to eliminate (1) but it is a bit of a trickier
core change, may figure out how to pull it off (defer it to first draft save)
Value of bot drafts < value of opening bot conversations really fast
* FEATURE: allow easy sharing of bot conversations
* Lean on new core API i
* Added system spec for copy functionality
* Update assets/javascripts/initializers/ai-bot-replies.js

Personas now support providing options for commands.
This PR introduces a single option "base_query" for the SearchCommand. When supplied all searches the persona will perform will also include the pre-supplied filter.
This can allow personas to search a subset of the forum (such as documentation)
This system is extensible we can add options to any command trivially.
* FEATURE: Azure OpenAI support for DALL*E 3
Previous to this there was no way to add an inference endpoint for
DALL*E on Azure cause it requires custom URLs
Also:
- On save, when editing a persona it would revert priority and enabled
- More forgiving parsing in command framework for array function calls
- By default generate HD images - they tend to be a bit better
- Improve DALL*E prompt which was getting very annoying and always echoing what it is about to do
- Add a bit of a sleep between retries on image generation
- Fix error handling in image_command
Introduces a UI to manage customizable personas (admin only feature)
Part of the change was some extensive internal refactoring:
- AIBot now has a persona set in the constructor, once set it never changes
- Command now takes in bot as a constructor param, so it has the correct persona and is not generating AIBot objects on the fly
- Added a .prettierignore file, due to the way ALE is configured in nvim it is a pre-req for prettier to work
- Adds a bunch of validations on the AIPersona model, system personas (artist/creative etc...) are all seeded. We now ensure
- name uniqueness, and only allow certain properties to be touched for system personas.
- (JS note) the client side design takes advantage of nested routes, the parent route for personas gets all the personas via this.store.findAll("ai-persona") then child routes simply reach into this model to find a particular persona.
- (JS note) data is sideloaded into the ai-persona model the meta property supplied from the controller, resultSetMeta
- This removes ai_bot_enabled_personas and ai_bot_enabled_chat_commands, both should be controlled from the UI on a per persona basis
- Fixes a long standing bug in token accounting ... we were doing to_json.length instead of to_json.to_s.length
- Amended it so {commands} are always inserted at the end unconditionally, no need to add it to the template of the system message as it just confuses things
- Adds a concept of required_commands to stock personas, these are commands that must be configured for this stock persona to show up.
- Refactored tests so we stop requiring inference_stubs, it was very confusing to need it, added to plugin.rb for now which at least is clearer
- Migrates the persona selector to gjs

* FEATURE: optional warning attached to all AI bot conversations
This commit introduces `ai_bot_enable_chat_warning` which can be used
to warn people prior to starting a chat with the bot.
In particular this is useful if moderators are regularly reading chat
transcripts as it sets expectations early.
By default this is disabled.
Also:
- Stops making ajax call prior to opening composer
- Hides PM title when starting a bot PM

* DEV: Remove the summarization feature
Instead, we'll register summarization implementations for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Discourse AI using the API defined in discourse/discourse#21813.
Core and chat will implement features on top of these implementations instead of this plugin extending them.
* Register instances that contain the model, requiring less site settings
- Remove unused 'toggleAiBotPanel' widget action
- Switch from appEvents to closure actions
- Convert widget definition to native class syntax, so that we can use `@action` decorator. (alternatively, we could have done `{ closePanel: this.hideAiBotPanel.bind(this) }` in `RenderGlimmer`
Previously we were not using using HeaderPanel for drop down, which caused
it not to properly act like a header panel.
- Not styled right
- Not hidden when other buttons clicked
Etc...
Header is sadly full of legacy so this is somewhat hacky weaving widgets.
* FEATURE: Less friction for starting a conversation with an AI bot.
This PR adds a new header icon as a shortcut to start a conversation with one of our AI Bots. After clicking and selecting one from the dropdown menu, we'll open the composer with some fields already filled (recipients and title).
If you leave the title as is, we'll queue a job after five minutes to update it using a bot suggestion.

* FEATURE: Topic summarization
Summarize topics using the TopicView's "summary" filter. The UI is similar to what we do for chat, but we don't allow the user to select a timeframe.

* FEATURE: Composer AI helper
This change introduces a new composer button for the group members listed in the `ai_helper_allowed_groups` site setting.
Users can use chatGPT to review, improve, or translate their posts to English.
* Add a safeguard for PMs and don't rely on parentView
This change adds two new reviewable types: ReviewableAIPost and ReviewableAIChatMessage. They have the same actions as their existing counterparts: ReviewableFlaggedPost and ReviewableChatMessage.
We'll display the model used and their accuracy when showing these flags in the review queue and adjust the latter after staff performs an action, tracking a global accuracy per existing model in a separate table.
* FEATURE: Dedicated reviewables for AI flags
* Store and adjust model accuracy
* Display accuracy in reviewable templates
