Stefan Walcz 5f5feea15a fix(agentpool): keep the conversation in the agent web chat (#12410)
* feat(agents): keep the web chat history between messages

The agent chat endpoint ran every message as a fresh job
(ag.Ask(WithText(message))), so a follow-up such as "add two days to
item 3 and recalculate" never saw the answer it referred to. Agents
then rebuilt their reply from scratch instead of changing it.

Use the agent's own conversation tracker, as the Telegram and Slack
connectors already do: send the earlier turns with the new message and
record successful answers. Failed, cancelled or empty runs are not
recorded, and the tracker drops a conversation after the agent's
last_message_duration of inactivity. The distributed (NATS) chat path is
unchanged.

* fix(agents): keep each web chat conversation's history separate

Review on this PR: the first version kept the history in the agent's
conversation tracker under one fixed key per agent. The web UI keeps
several conversations per agent (New Chat, switching, Clear) and did not
send which one a message belongs to, so the hidden history mixed them:
a new chat received the previous chat's turns, and Clear only cleared
the screen.

The client now sends the earlier turns of the conversation it is
showing as `history` with POST /api/agents/:name/chat, and the server
keeps no web chat history of its own. Each conversation only ever sees
its own turns; New Chat and Clear start without history. The server
uses only user and assistant turns with text, bounded to the most
recent 40 turns and 64,000 characters. `history` is optional, so
existing callers keep the previous behaviour (no history); the
distributed (NATS) path does not forward it yet.

Tests: two conversations of one agent stay apart, an empty history
(New Chat or Clear) starts fresh, system/tool/empty turns are dropped,
the bounds keep the most recent turns; the UI helper that builds the
history from the visible messages has node --test coverage. Docs:
features/agents.md describes `history` and the web UI behaviour.

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

Running the website locally

Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo. You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our Getting started guide.

From the LocalAI repository root, run:

make docs

The Hugo configuration lives in the docs directory. To invoke Hugo directly instead, run:

cd docs
hugo server

Running a container locally

You can run docsy-example inside a Docker container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other than Docker Desktop on Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose on Linux.

  1. Build the docker image

    docker-compose build
    
  2. Run the built image

    docker-compose up
    

    NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

  3. Verify that the service is working.

    Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

Cleanup

To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.

To remove the produced images run:

docker-compose rm

For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

➜ hugo server

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /

Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Or you may encounter the following error:

➜ hugo server

Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found

This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
