- Added similar controls in user manual prompt with template: "The user manual does not contain specific information about [specific topic/feature you searched for]."
- Reinforced the restriction in multiple workflow sections
Key Prompt Updates:
Agent System Prompt:
* **Critical: NO GENERAL KNOWLEDGE**: If retrieval yields insufficient or no relevant results, **do not provide any general knowledge or assumptions**. Instead, clearly state "The system does not contain specific information about [specific topic/feature searched for]." and suggest how the user might reformulate their query.
User Manual Prompt:
- **NO GENERAL KNOWLEDGE**: When retrieved content is insufficient, do NOT provide any general knowledge about systems, software, or common practices. State clearly: "The user manual does not contain specific information about [specific topic/feature you searched for]."
Benefits:
- Accuracy: Eliminates confusion from generic information

v1.1.9 - Intent Recognition Structured Output Compatibility Fix - Mon Sep 2 2025
🔧 Bug Fix (Intent Recognition Compatibility)
Fixed intent recognition error for models that don't support OpenAI's structured output format (json_schema).
Problem Addressed:
- Intent recognition failed with error: "Invalid parameter: 'response_format' of type 'json_schema' is not supported with this model"
- DeepSeek and other non-OpenAI models don't support OpenAI's structured output feature
- System would default to Standard_Regulation_RAG but log errors continuously
Root Cause:
intent_recognition_nodeusedllm_client.llm.with_structured_output(Intent)which automatically addsjson_schemaresponse_format- This feature is specific to OpenAI GPT models and not supported by DeepSeek, Claude, or other model providers
Solution:
- Removed structured output dependency: Replaced
with_structured_output()with standard LLM calls - Enhanced text parsing: Added robust response parsing to extract intent labels from text responses
- Improved prompt engineering: Added explicit output format instructions to system prompt
- Enhanced error handling: Better handling of different response content types (string/list)
Technical Changes:
Modified: service/graph/intent_recognition.py
# Before (broken with non-OpenAI models):
intent_llm = llm_client.llm.with_structured_output(Intent)
intent_result = await intent_llm.ainvoke([SystemMessage(content=system_prompt)])
# After (compatible with all models):
system_prompt = intent_prompt_template.format(...) +
"\n\nIMPORTANT: You must respond with ONLY one of these two exact labels: " +
"'Standard_Regulation_RAG' or 'User_Manual_RAG'. Do not include any other text."
intent_result = await llm_client.llm.ainvoke([SystemMessage(content=system_prompt)])
# Enhanced response parsing
if isinstance(intent_result.content, str):
response_text = intent_result.content.strip()
elif isinstance(intent_result.content, list):
response_text = " ".join([str(item) for item in intent_result.content
if isinstance(item, str)]).strip()
Key Improvements:
Model Compatibility:

- Explicit Anti-Speculation: Added clear prohibitions against guessing or inferring undocumented features
- Consistent Evidence Requirements: Aligned with main agent prompt's evidence standards
Technical Changes:
Modified: llm_prompt.yaml - user_manual_prompt
# Enhanced Core Directives
- **Answer with evidence** from retrieved user manual sources; avoid speculation.
Never guess or infer functionality not explicitly documented.
- **Fail gracefully**: if retrieval yields insufficient or no relevant results,
**do not guess**—produce a clear *No-Answer with Suggestions* section.
# Enhanced Workflow - Verify & Synthesize
- Cross-check all retrieved information for consistency.
- Only include information supported by retrieved user manual evidence.
- If evidence is insufficient, follow the *No-Answer with Suggestions* approach.
# Added No-Answer Framework
When retrieved user manual content is insufficient:

- System Consistency: Unified anti-hallucination approach across all prompt types
v1.1.7 - GPT-5 Mini Temperature Parameter Fix - Sun Sep 1 2025
🔧 LLM Compatibility Fix (GPT-5 Mini Temperature Support)
Fixed temperature parameter handling to support GPT-5 mini model which only accepts default temperature values.
Problem Solved:
- GPT-5 mini model rejected requests with explicit
temperatureparameter (e.g., 0.0, 0.2) - Error: "Unsupported value: 'temperature' does not support 0.0 with this model. Only the default (1) value is supported."
- System always passed temperature even when commented out in configuration
Solution:
- Conditional parameter passing: Only include
temperaturein LLM requests when explicitly set in configuration - Optional configuration: Changed temperature from required to optional in both new and legacy config classes
- Model default usage: When temperature not specified, model uses its own default value
Technical Changes:
Modified: service/config.py
# Changed temperature from required to optional
class LLMParametersConfig(BaseModel):
temperature: Optional[float] = None # Was: float = 0
class LLMRagConfig(BaseModel):
temperature: Optional[float] = None # Was: float = 0.2
# Only include temperature in config when explicitly set
def get_llm_config(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
if self.llm_prompt.parameters.temperature is not None:
base_config["temperature"] = self.llm_prompt.parameters.temperature
Modified: service/llm_client.py
# Only pass temperature parameter when present in config
def _create_llm(self):
params = {
"base_url": llm_config["base_url"],
"api_key": llm_config["api_key"],
"model": llm_config["model"],
"streaming": True,
}
# Only add temperature if explicitly set
if "temperature" in llm_config:
params["temperature"] = llm_config["temperature"]
return ChatOpenAI(**params)
Configuration Examples:
No Temperature (Uses Model Default):
# llm_prompt.yaml
parameters:
# temperature: 0 # Commented out - model uses default
max_context_length: 100000
Explicit Temperature:
# llm_prompt.yaml
parameters:
temperature: 0.7 # Will be passed to model
max_context_length: 100000
Backward Compatibility:
- ✅ Existing configurations continue to work
- ✅ Legacy
config.yamlLLM settings still supported - ✅ No breaking changes when temperature is explicitly set
Files Added:
docs/topics/GPT5_MINI_TEMPERATURE_FIX.md- Detailed technical documentationscripts/test_temperature_fix.py- Comprehensive test suite
v1.1.6 - Enhanced I18n Multi-Language Support - Sat Aug 31 2025
🌐 Internationalization Enhancement (I18n Multi-Language Support)
Added comprehensive internationalization (i18n) support for Chinese and English languages across the web interface.
v1.1.5 - Aggressive Tool Call History Trimming - Sat Aug 31 2025
🚀 Enhanced Token Optimization (Aggressive Trimming Strategy)
Modified trimming strategy to proactively clean historical tool call results regardless of token count, while protecting current conversation turn's tool calls.
New Behavior:
- Always trim when multiple tool rounds exist - regardless of total token count
- Preserve current conversation turn's tool calls - never trim active tool execution results
- Remove historical tool call results - from previous conversation turns to minimize context pollution
Why This Change:
- Historical tool call results accumulate quickly in conversation history
- Large retrieval results consume significant tokens even when total context is manageable
- Proactive trimming prevents context bloat before hitting token limits
- Current tool calls must remain intact for proper agent workflow
Technical Implementation:
Modified: service/graph/message_trimmer.py
- Enhanced
should_trim(): Now triggers when detecting multiple tool rounds (>1), not just on token limit - Preserved Strategy:
_optimize_multi_round_tool_calls()continues to keep only the most recent tool round - Current Turn Protection: Agent workflow ensures current turn's tool calls are never trimmed during execution
Impact:
- Proactive Cleanup: Tool call history cleaned before reaching token limits
- Context Quality: Conversation stays focused on recent, relevant context
- Workflow Protection: Current tool execution results always preserved
- Token Efficiency: Maintains optimal token usage across conversation lifetime
v1.1.4 - Multi-Round Tool Call Token Optimization - Sat Aug 31 2025
🚀 Performance Enhancement (Token Optimization)
Implemented intelligent token optimization for multi-round tool calling scenarios to significantly reduce LLM context usage.
Problem Solved:
- In multi-round tool calling scenarios, previous rounds' tool call results (ToolMessage) were consuming excessive tokens
- Large JSON responses from retrieval tools accumulated in conversation history
- Token usage could exceed LLM context limits, causing API failures
Key Features:
-
Multi-Round Tool Call Detection:
- Automatically identifies tool calling rounds in conversation history
- Recognizes patterns of AI messages with tool_calls followed by ToolMessage responses
-
Intelligent Message Optimization:
- Preserves system messages and original user queries
- Keeps only the most recent tool calling round for context continuity
- Removes older ToolMessage content that typically contains large response data
-
Token Usage Reduction:
- Achieves 60-80% reduction in token usage for multi-round scenarios
- Maintains conversation quality while respecting LLM context constraints
- Prevents API failures due to context length overflow
