- KbPolicyPromptBanner: add onError toast to maybeLaterMutation so a
failed policy save surfaces to the user instead of looking like a
broken button (banner would otherwise reappear on next chat open
with no explanation).
- KbPolicyPromptBanner: set staleTime: Infinity on the prompt-state
query. For users who already picked a policy (the vast majority),
the result is effectively immutable per session — the mutations
invalidate the key when it actually changes.
When a user opens AI Chat with content available but no global ingest
policy yet recorded, surface a one-time banner above the chat header
asking how they want new content handled:
- 'Index existing content' -> sets rag.defaultIngestPolicy=Always and
triggers a sync so pending_decision files queue immediately
- 'Maybe later' -> sets policy=Manual; existing and future content
waits in pending_decision until the user opts in from the KB modal
After either button is clicked the banner never reappears, because both
write the policy KV (the same one #894 manages via the KB modal toggle).
There is intentionally no 'dismiss without deciding' X — that would just
re-show the banner forever.
Backend
- New GET /api/rag/policy-prompt-state returns
{shouldPrompt, hasContent, totalFiles}
- RagService.getPolicyPromptState() reads KVStore('rag.defaultIngestPolicy')
and counts kb_ingest_state rows; shouldPrompt is true only when policy
is null AND scanner has seen >=1 file (avoids prompting on empty NOMADs)
Frontend
- New KbPolicyPromptBanner component (~120 LOC) handles the two-button
decision flow with optimistic loading state, success/error toasts, and
invalidates kbPolicyPromptState + ingestPolicy + embed-jobs + storedFiles
on success
- Mounted in components/chat/index.tsx as the first child of the main
content column so it sits above the chat title bar without taking space
when shouldPrompt is false (renders nothing)
- Reads aiAssistantName from Inertia page props so banner copy matches
the user's chosen assistant name
Stacks on feat/kb-policy-toggle (#894) because the policy KV mechanism
it writes through is introduced there. Both can land in rc.5; this PR
auto-rebases to rc once #894 merges.
Existing users on first upgrade to v1.32.0 will see this banner on first
chat visit post-upgrade — an explicit opt-in moment for content that was
already on disk. New users see it the first time they have curated
content downloaded.
