Changelog

Duncan was claiming to have created tasks/projects without actually executing

anything — the AI responded with natural language confirmations but no [ACTION]

blocks. Root cause: the system prompt instructions were too passive.

Changes:

• Rewrote intent catalog prompt with CRITICAL header and explicit rules:

"WITHOUT an [ACTION] block, NOTHING happens" and "NEVER say 'I've created'

unless you include the [ACTION] block"

• Added instruction to refuse unavailable actions instead of fabricating
• Added action-oriented keywords (create/add/make/log/draft/save) to Medium

tier classifier so token budget is adequate for JSON output

• Added debug logging for action block parsing results and intent catalog

injection to aid future debugging

Desktop 1.63.1 → 1.63.2.

Replace the barely-visible indeterminate ProgressBar + static "Thinking..." text

with an animated "Thinking." → "Thinking.." → "Thinking..." cycle (400ms per

frame) driven by a timer in AiChatMessageViewModel. The animation starts when

the message enters Loading state and stops when streaming/ready begins. Uses

italic styling for visual distinction from actual response content.

Desktop 1.63.0 → 1.63.1.

The shell-ai RAG chunk was too sparse for Duncan to explain its own

features. Expand it with detailed interaction instructions, provider

configuration details, response length behavior, and AI memory.

Add a new shell-intents RAG chunk documenting the full intent lifecycle

(signal → classification → slot extraction → execution → confirmation),

listing every available intent across all 14 plugins with descriptions

and example natural language queries.

Update APP_CONTEXT.md with a comprehensive AI & Intent System section

including a full intent catalog table, RAG explanation, and content

suggestion documentation.

This ensures Duncan can answer questions like "what are intents?",

"how do I interact with you?", and "what can you do?" with accurate,

context-aware responses from the RAG index.

The VirtualizingStackPanel can ignore ItemsControl bottom margin, so

increase the ScrollViewer Padding from 16px to 48px to ensure the last

transaction rows are not clipped by the window edge.

Introduces ShellContentProvider implementing IIndexableContentProvider to

index shell-level features into the RAG vector index. This allows Duncan

to answer questions about global shortcuts, Universal Search, Knowledge

Graph, Dashboard, AI services, Info Panel, Cloud Sync, themes, speech

input, reminders, security, and the plugin ecosystem — without needing

plugin-specific context. Registered via CapabilityBroker so RagIndexService

discovers it alongside plugin providers during full index.
