## Context Chat.razor currently constructs a `ChatRequest` with only the latest user message (line 161-164). The backend and Responses API already support multi-message input — no server changes needed. This is purely a client-side change. ## Goals / Non-Goals **Goals:** - Send full conversation history with each request for multi-turn context - Add a "New Chat" button to reset the session **Non-Goals:** - Persistent conversation storage (explicitly deferred) - Multiple conversation tabs/sidebar - Token limit management or history truncation (small conversations for now) ## Decisions ### Decision 1: Send full _messages list minus the empty placeholder When building the `ChatRequest`, include all messages from `_messages` except the last one (which is the empty assistant placeholder waiting for streaming). This gives the AI the full conversation context. ### Decision 2: New Chat button in the AppBar Place a "New Chat" icon button in the `MudAppBar` (in MainLayout.razor or Chat.razor). Clicking it clears `_messages` and resets to the empty state. Disabled during streaming. Alternative considered: putting it in the input area. Rejected — the AppBar is more natural and matches ChatGPT/Gemini placement. ## Risks / Trade-offs - [No token limit management] → For long conversations, the full history could exceed the model's context window. Acceptable for now; truncation can be added later.
