Reusable, workspace-shared agent roles for the built-in AI chat. A role is
a named persona (system-prompt instructions) + optional model override; a
chat is bound to a role at creation and applies it every turn.
Backend:
- migration 20260620T120000: ai_agent_roles table + ai_chats.role_id
(FK ON DELETE SET NULL); hand-merged types into db.d.ts/entity.types.ts
(db.d.ts is hand-curated here, full codegen would clobber it).
- core/ai-chat/roles: CRUD module. list = any workspace member; create/
update/delete = admin (Manage Settings ability, like ai-settings/mcp).
All repo queries scoped by workspace_id; soft-delete (deleted_at).
- buildSystemPrompt gains roleInstructions: role REPLACES the persona base
(admin prompt / DEFAULT_PROMPT) but SAFETY_FRAMEWORK + context are always
still appended.
- stream(): role resolved from ai_chats.role_id for existing chats (never
the request body -> no per-turn role swap); body.roleId only on creation.
Disabled (enabled=false) and soft-deleted roles fall back to universal.
- getChatModel(workspaceId, override): role model_config can swap model id /
driver; a driver without configured creds throws 503 with a clear message
naming the driver+role, resolved BEFORE response hijack.
Client:
- new-chat role picker (enabled roles only, default Universal assistant),
roleId sent only on the first message; role badge (emoji+name) in the chat
header and conversation list; admin Agent-roles management section in
Settings -> AI (add/edit/delete, MCP-form pattern).
Tests: ai-chat.prompt.spec (role layering + safety always present, incl.
jailbreak); ai.service.spec (override on unconfigured driver -> 503).
