Opt-in 💭 thinking-notice for slow text generation, plus a fix making Venice unsupported-field auto-recovery survive the per-message controller rebuild. Prepares 1.24.0.
Co-authored-by: Aine <aine@etke.cc>
Add a per-room/global `sender_context_mode` setting that optionally
prefixes conversation messages with sender metadata before sending them
to the model provider.
This helps models distinguish between participants in multi-user rooms.
Three modes are supported:
- `disabled` (default, no change)
- `matrix_user_id` (prefixes with `[sender=@user:server]`)
- `matrix_user_id_and_timestamp` (adds `send_at`; Example: `[sender=@user:server sent_at=<ISO 8601>]`)
Sender context is applied to user and assistant text messages only,
skipping system prompts and non-text content.
Mixed-sender merged turns (something we intentionally do for Anthropic)
have their `sender_id` cleared to avoid misattribution.
When speech-to-text/flow-type = `only_transcribe`, the bot will now send
text messages by default, not notices.
While notice messages may be less desirable with other bots in the room,
it's probably a better default for most people who enable "transcribe-only" mode.
This is an improvement related to https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14
