From c654afc8f638076d2121f34572ff56f736ce5eee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noor A Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 16:51:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/20] =?UTF-8?q?feat(chat):=20iteration=201=20=E2=80=94?= =?UTF-8?q?=20rewrite=20prompts=20and=20fix=20language=20detection?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Rewrites all prompt templates to be cleaner and more instruction-precise (AGENT_SYSTEM_PROMPT, SYSTEM_PROMPT, SOURCED_ANSWER, REPHRASE, GENERATE_NEW_QUESTIONS, reformulate/standalone prompts). Fixes get_new_questions() to actually use the detected language when formatting the GENERATE_NEW_QUESTIONS template (was previously ignored), and corrects history slicing from broken [::-2][:2] to [-2:]. Fixes reformulate_user_query() to call the LLM via run_llm_with_json_parsing instead of returning a hardcoded stub.

Accept optional ui_language (lang) param for the empty-chat case where there is no query to detect from. Thread lang through Context → ContextOut → endpoint → service. Agent sources (agent_response): collect artifacts from ALL ToolMessages instead of only the last one, so the right panel shows the complete set of retrieved docs when the agent makes multiple tool calls.

From: Noor A Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 16:13:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 13/20] fix(chat): tighten citation rules and switch to Markdown link format MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit External sources were sometimes named (title/journal) without being retrieved, since the prompt explicitly allowed unlinked plain-text mentions of non-retrieved sources — now forbidden outright. Combined citation markers like "[Docs 3 et 5]" are unlinkable (no single URL to resolve to), so the prompt now requires one document per marker, and the model is told to verify a claim is actually in the document it cites. Also switch citation format from HTML anchors to Markdown links ([Doc N](URL)), matching the rest of a Markdown reply and reducing formatting mistakes. linkify_missing_citations follows suit, but note it only patches the non-streaming endpoint and the saved chat record — it never reaches the live streamed view, so the prompt rules are the only real fix for what streams to the user.
