Enhanced LLM prompts to strictly prevent model from outputting general knowledge when retrieval yields insufficient results.

Problem Addressed:

  • AI assistant was outputting model's built-in general knowledge about topics when specific information wasn't found in retrieval
  • Users received generic information about systems/concepts instead of clear "information not available" responses
  • Example: When asked about "CATOnline system", AI would provide general CAT (Computer-Assisted Testing) information from its training data

Solution Implemented:

  • Enhanced Agent System Prompt: Added explicit "NO GENERAL KNOWLEDGE" directive
  • Enhanced User Manual Prompt: Added similar strict knowledge boundary controls
  • Improved Fallback Messages: Standardized response template for insufficient information scenarios

  • 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
  • Transparency: Users clearly understand when information is not available in the system
  • Trust: Builds user confidence in system's knowledge boundaries

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_node used llm_client.llm.with_structured_output(Intent) which automatically adds json_schema response_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:

  • Works with all LLM providers (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, DeepSeek, Claude, etc.)

v1.1.8 - User Manual Prompt Anti-Hallucination Enhancement - Sun Sep 1 2025

🧠 Prompt Engineering Enhancement (User Manual Anti-Hallucination)

Enhanced the user_manual_prompt to reduce hallucinations by adopting grounded response principles from agent_system_prompt.

Problem Addressed:

  • User manual assistant could speculate about undocumented system features
  • Inconsistent handling of missing information compared to main agent prompt
  • Less structured approach to failing gracefully when manual information was insufficient
  • Potential for inferring functionality not explicitly documented in user manuals

Solution:

  • Grounded Response Principles: Adopted evidence-based response requirements from agent_system_prompt
  • Enhanced Fail-Safe Mechanisms: Implemented comprehensive "No-Answer with Suggestions" framework
  • 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:
- State clearly what specific information is missing
- Do not guess or provide information not explicitly found
- Provide constructive next steps and alternative approaches

Key Improvements:

Evidence Requirements:

  • Enhanced from basic "Evidence-Based Only" to comprehensive evidence validation
  • Added explicit prohibition against speculation and inference
  • Aligned with agent_system_prompt's grounded response standards

Graceful Failure Handling:

  • Upgraded from simple "state it clearly" to structured "No-Answer with Suggestions"
  • Provides specific guidance for reformulating queries
  • Offers constructive next steps when information is missing

Anti-Hallucination Measures:

  • Grounded responses principle
  • No speculation directive
  • Explicit no-guessing rule
  • Evidence-only responses
  • Constructive suggestions framework

  • Preserved Specialization: Maintained user manual specific features (screenshots, step-by-step format)

Files Added:

  • docs/topics/USER_MANUAL_PROMPT_ANTI_HALLUCINATION.md - Detailed technical documentation
  • scripts/test_user_manual_prompt_improvements.py - Comprehensive validation test suite

Expected Benefits:

  • Reduced Hallucinations: No speculation about undocumented CATOnline features
  • Improved Reliability: More accurate step-by-step instructions based only on manual content
  • Better User Guidance: Structured suggestions when manual information is incomplete
  • 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 temperature parameter (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 temperature in 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.yaml LLM settings still supported
  • No breaking changes when temperature is explicitly set

Files Added:

  • docs/topics/GPT5_MINI_TEMPERATURE_FIX.md - Detailed technical documentation

🌐 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:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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

Technical Implementation:

  • File: service/graph/message_trimmer.py
  • New Methods:
    • _optimize_multi_round_tool_calls() - Core optimization logic
    • _identify_tool_rounds() - Tool round pattern recognition
    • Enhanced trim_conversation_history() - Integrated optimization workflow

Test Results:

  • Message Reduction: 60% fewer messages in multi-round scenarios
  • Token Savings: 70-80% reduction in token consumption
  • Context Preservation: Maintains conversation flow and quality

Configuration:

parameters:
  max_context_length: 96000  # Configurable context length
  # Optimization automatically applies when multiple tool rounds detected

Benefits:

  • Cost Efficiency: Significant reduction in LLM API costs
  • Reliability: Prevents context overflow errors
  • Performance: Faster processing with smaller context windows
  • Scalability: Supports longer multi-round conversations
