Introduces a persistent, user-scoped key-value storage system for
AI Artifacts, enabling them to be stateful and interactive. This
transforms artifacts from static content into mini-applications that can
save user input, preferences, and other data.
The core components of this feature are:
1. **Model and API**:
- A new `AiArtifactKeyValue` model and corresponding database table to
store data associated with a user and an artifact.
- A new `ArtifactKeyValuesController` provides a RESTful API for
CRUD operations (`index`, `set`, `destroy`) on the key-value data.
- Permissions are enforced: users can only modify their own data but
can view public data from other users.
2. **Secure JavaScript Bridge**:
- A `postMessage` communication bridge is established between the
sandboxed artifact `iframe` and the parent Discourse window.
- A JavaScript API is exposed to the artifact as `window.discourseArtifact`
with async methods: `get(key)`, `set(key, value, options)`,
`delete(key)`, and `index(filter)`.
- The parent window handles these requests, makes authenticated calls to the
new controller, and returns the results to the iframe. This ensures
security by keeping untrusted JS isolated.
3. **AI Tool Integration**:
- The `create_artifact` tool is updated with a `requires_storage`
boolean parameter.
- If an artifact requires storage, its metadata is flagged, and the
system prompt for the code-generating AI is augmented with detailed
documentation for the new storage API.
4. **Configuration**:
- Adds hidden site settings `ai_artifact_kv_value_max_length` and
`ai_artifact_max_keys_per_user_per_artifact` for throttling.
This also includes a minor fix to use `jsonb_set` when updating
artifact metadata, ensuring other metadata fields are preserved.
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.

large objects would destroy context
