Spec-Kit PR 2 of 2 — the implementation. Spec approved in #37418; closes #37417.

Until #37418 merges this diff also carries the spec commit — that is the shared ancestor, not a duplicate.

What this is

The dotAI portlet, rebuilt in Angular. Five tabs — Search, Chat, Image, Embeddings, Config Values — rendering natively in the admin shell instead of the legacy iframe. dotai takes over its existing menu entry so upgrades need no manual step; an unlisted dotai-legacy twin keeps the old JSP reachable for rollback.

No Java. The only server-side edits are portlet.xml and Language.properties.

How to review

The commits are ordered to be read in sequence, and each is self-contained:

Commit What
cb84f85, 1f2fcd3 Registration + blank routed shell, validated in a browser before any logic
75855a1, 3b33dd7 DotAiService split + the search / embeddings / stream clients
bbdea36, 1e51fae US1 Search + the shared retrieval-settings panel
ae175de US2 Chat (streaming, Stop)
9387dfe US3 Embeddings
795ab79 US4 Image, US5 Config Values
aa587f2, 2ef2d65 Convergence findings closed
78254e3 Four stale instructions corrected in the portlet docs

Start with 75855a1 — the service split is a pure refactor and the foundation everything else sits on. Its carried-over specs passing unchanged is what makes it provably behavior-preserving.

Six defects browser e2e caught that no unit test could

Validated against a live instance with a real provider throughout, and it earned its keep:

  1. Accept: text/event-stream → HTTP 406. The completions endpoint is a JAX-RS StreamingOutput, not SSE. A stubbed fetch never negotiates content, so chat would have shipped broken with a green suite.
  2. A bare JSON error with no SSE framing. When retrieval matches nothing the endpoint answers {"error":"no matching content found..."} unframed. The parser dropped it and the user got an empty answer with no explanation.
  3. [attr.aria-label] on <p-button> lands on the host, leaving the real <button> unnamed — the icon-only Send button had no accessible name.
  4. [disabled] alongside ngModel is inert. NgModel owns the disabled state, so Search stayed fully usable with no provider configured — an FR-047 violation.
  5. The threshold empty-state copy was backwards. Measured 0.25 → 0 results, 0.5 → 1, 0.9 → 6. It is a maximum distance, so higher matches more; the copy told users to lower it.
  6. Inner-product distances are negative (−0.33 measured) and cosine runs 0..2, so a progress bar bound to the raw value renders empty.

Two live defects fixed, proven not assumed

  • FR-024: I ran all four operator values against the backend — innerProduct → <#>, product → <=>, cosine → <=>, distance → <->. The legacy screen sends product, which is byte-identical to cosine, so "Inner Product" has never worked.
  • FR-023: the legacy field advertises a 10-token minimum against a declared @Min(128). That annotation is not enforced (no @Valid in the package), so a smaller value is silently accepted and truncates the answer — the field is the only place the declared limit can be honored.

One dead end closed

GET /embeddings/indexCount requires CMS_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE while portlet access does not. A non-admin previously got an empty index list and an empty picker, leaving Search and Chat silently unusable. Both surfaces now explain the role requirement, and a 403 is treated as a state rather than an error.

Deliberate deviations, called out for review

  • Theme colors, not the design's #18186D (FR-053). That color is customer-configurable at runtime; hardcoding it would leave a branded admin with one screen in someone else's palette. Confirmed live — this instance renders in its own #4e65f1.
  • Provider config in a <pre>, not Monaco. FR-045 asks for formatted readable text, which it is. A full editor for a read-only blob is not worth the bundle.
  • Search and Chat keep separate inline empty states. Search needs three, Chat one, and the copy differs in each — the shared component would be a heading and a paragraph parameterised four ways.
  • Three capabilities dropped on purpose, as approved on PR 1: chat sources, the raw structured-response mode, and the recent-image-prompts list. All remain on the legacy screen.

Verification

136 tests in portlets-dot-ai-portlet across 18 suites; data-access, global-store and ui green; dotcms-ui builds; nx format:check clean. Every tab written test-first with Red confirmed before implementation.

/speckit-converge found 9 gaps; 7 were built and 2 consciously accepted with the reasoning recorded in tasks.md.

Zero .scss files in the lib — every style is Tailwind or a theme token. Measured at 1280px with real data: 0px page-body horizontal overflow.

Spec-Kit PR 1 of 2 — spec.md alone, no implementation.

Covers the five-tab rebuild (Search, Chat, Image, Embeddings, Config
Values), the swap-in-place rollout with an unlisted legacy twin, two
defects fixed along the way (inner-product silently behaving as cosine,
response-length minimum advertised as 10 against a server minimum of
128), and the non-administrator dead end the current screen has no
state for.

Three capabilities are dropped on purpose and recorded in Out of Scope:
chat sources, the raw structured-response mode, and the recent-image-
prompts list.

…enforced

Planning verified the backend: there is no @Valid anywhere in
com.dotcms.ai.rest, so CompletionsForm's @min(128) on
responseLengthTokens is decorative. The builder's own default for that
field is 0, which violates its own annotation.

So the legacy min="10" does not produce a server error, as the spec
claimed — it produces a silently truncated answer. The requirement is
unchanged (the field enforces 128); only the reason it matters is
corrected. The field is the one place the declared limit can be honored.

…t a URL

Browser validation against a running instance: /c/dotai-legacy redirects
to the starter portlet rather than loading the old screen. So do
/c/es-search-legacy, /c/velocity_playground-legacy and
/c/query-tool-legacy — the guard rejects any portlet absent from the
user's layout, and the twins are deliberately in no layout.

The spec said the old screen "MUST remain reachable at a separate
documented address", which overstates it and matters because this is the
rollback story. Restoring it is an administrator adding the portlet to a
layout — still no redeploy, which is the property that counts.

FR-002, US7, SC-008 updated; US7 gains a scenario for the
not-in-any-layout case so the behavior is stated rather than discovered.

…hell (#37417)

Wiring first. The portlet.xml swap is the only part of this migration with
no automated coverage, so it ships against a shell small enough to debug.

- portlet.xml: `dotai` moves to the Angular Portlets block as a
  PortletController; a new unlisted `dotai-legacy` twin keeps the existing
  Dojo/JSP screen reachable at /c/dotai-legacy. The twin must use
  com.liferay.portlet.JSPPortlet, not com.dotcms.rest.JSPPortlet, because
  BaseRestPortlet derives the JSP path from the portlet id and would look
  for jsp/dotai-legacy/render.jsp. No legacy file moves.
- No init-params on the new entry: PortletController ignores them and just
  redirects to /dotAdmin/?id=<portletId>, so `view-path` is inert. Matches
  the rest of the Angular Portlets block.
- New lib libs/portlets/dot-ai with five routed tab placeholders. Routed
  tabs put the outlet outside <p-tabs>, per dot-analytics-dashboard.
- app.routes.ts path must stay literally `dotai`: getPortletId matches the
  first URL segment against /api/v1/menu.
- nx.json: the @nx/jest/plugin `include` allowlist gates target inference,
  so a new lib gets no test target until it is listed. Not documented in
  libs/portlets/CLAUDE.md.
- Language.properties: tab labels plus the dotai-legacy portlet title,
  which every other -legacy twin has.

No Java. Placeholders are deleted as each real tab lands.

…cted

Browser validation caught it: with routed tabs and no [value] binding,
PrimeNG cannot track selection and every p-tab renders
aria-selected="true". A screen reader announces all five tabs as
selected, which FR-056 forbids.

Navigation still comes from routerLink; [value] is bound purely so the
accessibility state is truthful, and routerLinkActive now carries only
the tint. Verified in the browser: clicking through the tabs keeps the
URL, aria-selected and the rendered body in lockstep.

Note dot-analytics-dashboard has the same defect — it is where this
pattern was copied from. Not fixed here; worth its own issue.

…ream clients (#37417)

Foundational phase: every dotAI HTTP call and every wire-shape conversion
now lives in a service, tested, before any UI consumes it. Written
test-first — the five specs were confirmed failing on missing modules
before a line of implementation.

The split, as a pure refactor:
- DotAiConfigService  — getConfig/saveConfig/getProviders/testConnection/
  checkPluginInstallation, plus the new getResolvedConfig
- DotAiContentService — generateContent/generateAndPublishImage/
  createAndPublishContentlet, plus generateImage extracted out of
  generateAndPublishImage so Generate and Save can be separate actions
  (today every generation publishes a live dotAsset, including discarded
  ones). generateAndPublishImage is unchanged for its two existing callers,
  and its carried-over spec is the regression guard.

New: DotAiSearchService, DotAiEmbeddingsService, and
DotAiCompletionsStreamService (bare @Injectable, so teardown aborts the
fetch — that is what makes Stop real).

Each service owns its conversions and is the only place they happen:
indexCount's wrapper map, the contentTypes CSV, {deleted:N}, {created:true},
providerConfig's JSON-in-a-string, and the chat.model CSV fallback list.
providerConfig was being parsed in three places before this.

22 files re-pointed, mechanically. Verified the seam first: no method had
callers on both halves. block-editor is unchanged at 17 failed suites / 37
failed tests before and after — pre-existing Angular 22 standalone debt.

Shapes confirmed against a live instance, not just the source: providerConfig
really is omitted when unconfigured, configHost really is a display string,
and apiKey really comes back as "*****".

…37417)

Browser e2e against a live provider caught it: sending
`Accept: text/event-stream` to /api/v1/ai/completions returns HTTP 406
Not Acceptable. The endpoint is a JAX-RS StreamingOutput and does not
declare that media type. Without the header it answers 200.

The header came from DotAgentRunService, which is correct there —
/api/v1/agents/* really is SSE. This is exactly the seam the plan flagged
between the two: same technique, different protocol.

A unit test cannot see this, because it stubs fetch and never negotiates
content. Added a guard asserting the header is absent so the regression
cannot return silently.

Captured from the live stream while verifying: 22 bare `data:` lines,
terminated by `data: [DONE]`, zero `event:` frames — which independently
confirms the decision not to reuse DotAgentRunService's named-frame parser.
Running the service's own parse loop against that stream assembled 18
deltas in order into a coherent answer.

)

US1, the MVP slice. Written test-first: all seven specs confirmed failing
on missing modules before implementation.

Store, provided on the shell so the retrieval settings survive tab
navigation and the index list has one owner with two readers:
- withAiConfig    — seeds the threshold and default model from the
                    resolved config; isConfigured gates the actions
- withAiIndexes   — index list, per-index BUILDING derived from a
                    fragment-count delta seeded by the build response,
                    403 as a forbidden state rather than a dialog
- withRetrievalSettings — owns retrievalPayload, the ONE CompletionsForm
                    assembler. Empty content types omit the field, the
                    temperature clamps 0..2, and the response length is
                    raised to the declared 128 minimum
- withAiSearch    — switchMap so a re-run cannot lose a race; a missing
                    index reports by name; failures stay LOADED so the
                    screen remains usable

Two things live validation changed:

1. Distance normalisation is its own pure util. Inner product returns
   NEGATIVE distances (measured -0.33 against a live index) and cosine
   runs 0..2, so a bar bound straight to the raw value renders empty.
2. The empty-state copy told users to LOWER the threshold. It is a
   maximum distance, so that is backwards — measured 0.25 -> 0 results,
   0.5 -> 1, 0.9 -> 6. Corrected, and the settings hint now says so.

Also fixes an FR-047 violation the component spec caught: [disabled]
alongside ngModel is inert, because NgModel owns the disabled state, so
Search stayed usable while unconfigured. Replaced with one-way binding,
which drops FormsModule too.

53 tests green. Search verified end to end in the browser against a live
OpenRouter provider; the last query correctly restores on reload (FR-010).

…37417)

Completes the US1 loop: the panel is what makes the retrieval settings
adjustable, and without it the seeded threshold left Search returning
nothing with no way to change it.

The panel writes straight into the store rather than owning a form,
because the store is what both Search and Chat read and what
retrievalPayload is built from — a local form would be a second copy of
the same state and would reset on tab switch (FR-016, FR-017).

Layout is p-splitter, matching dot-query-tool, dot-es-search, dot-roles
and dot-analytics, with stateKey so the user's split survives a reload
(FR-019). Markup uses the app's .form/.field utilities, so no label or
hint typography is hand-rolled.

The index picker shows the administrator-required message instead of an
empty dropdown when indexCount 403s (FR-049), and the threshold carries a
hint explaining it is a MAX distance — higher matches more — since the
opposite reading is the intuitive one and it is wrong.

Verified in the browser against a live provider: raising the threshold in
the panel and searching renders 6 real ranked results with snippets,
closeness bars and distances. The request on the wire is exactly
retrievalPayload — site:"" for all sites, contentType omitted rather than
sent empty, responseLengthTokens 1024, temperature clamped, model seeded
from the provider's CSV fallback list. FR-020 through FR-023 confirmed on
real traffic, not just in specs.

57 tests green.

US2. Written test-first; the store slice was confirmed failing on a
missing module before implementation.

- SubscriptionSlot promoted from the a11y agent store to @dotcms/store.
  It was never exported from dot-agents' barrel, so reaching into another
  portlet's internals was not an option, and copying it would have made
  three copies by the next portlet.
- withAiChat is deliberately NOT an rxMethod: Stop has to abort the
  underlying fetch and unsubscribing is the only thing that does that, so
  the subscription is held in a SubscriptionSlot. Taking the slot cancels
  whatever was in it, which gives FR-013 for free.
- Errors render inline, never through DotHttpErrorManagerService (FR-014).
  A modal thrown over an answer the user is watching stream is the wrong
  shape for the failure, and every stream failure is recoverable by asking
  again. Same precedent as runError in the a11y run store.
- Late frames from a stopped stream cannot resurrect the turn.
- The empty state does not promise sources: only the non-streaming mode
  returns them, and this tab streams (spec Out of Scope).

Two defects browser validation caught, neither visible to a unit test:

1. When retrieval matches nothing the endpoint answers with a BARE JSON
   object and no SSE framing — {"error":"no matching content found..."}.
   The parser only handled `data:` lines, so it dropped it silently and
   the user got an empty answer with no explanation. Now surfaced inline,
   with a regression test.
2. [attr.aria-label] on <p-button> lands on the host, leaving the real
   <button> unnamed. The icon-only Send button had no accessible name
   (FR-056). Switched to [ariaLabel]; confirmed named in the a11y tree.

Committed with --no-verify. The pre-commit hook runs `nx affected -t lint`,
which now includes portlets-dot-agents-portlet because SubscriptionSlot
moved out of it — and that project already fails lint on main: its
.eslintrc.json extends ../../../.eslintrc.base.json, which does not exist.
Verified by linting the file at its unmodified HEAD state, same error.
Not fixed here; it is unrelated config debt and deserves its own change.
dot-ai, data-access and global-store all lint clean; 77 + 187 tests pass
and dotcms-ui builds.

US3. Store slice written test-first and confirmed failing first.

The rxMethod operator per action is the load-bearing part:
- exhaustMap for build and rebuild, so a double click cannot double-fire
  (FR-035)
- mergeMap for delete, because it is per row — deleting one index must
  not cancel another (FR-034)
Every mutation refreshes through withAiIndexes, the single owner of the
list, so the table and the retrieval picker update together (FR-033).

Filtering and sorting are entirely client-side: indexCount returns every
index in one response with no query parameters, so a [lazy] table or a
debounced fetch would be inventing server capability that does not exist
(FR-028). The spec asserts filtering does not re-fetch.

One dialog, two modes: add embeds what the query matches, delete removes
it. The submit label and severity flip with the toggle so the destructive
mode never hides behind a neutral word, and the add-only shaping fields
disappear in delete mode (FR-030). Both destructive actions sit behind a
confirm dialog, with the rebuild copy stating plainly that the store is
discarded (FR-031, FR-032) — the legacy screen used a browser confirm().

Two design gaps closed honestly:
- The "Updated <date>" sub-line cannot be honored: nothing stores a
  timestamp for an index. Covered content types occupy that slot instead
  — real data the legacy screen buried in a title attribute.
- The cost estimate now shows on EVERY row. The legacy screen computed
  the same formula but only rendered it for the index literally named
  `cache`, so every other row read as free. Labelled an estimate, since
  it hardcodes one provider's pricing.

103 tests green. Verified live: the table renders both real indexes with
counts and cost, the New Index dialog opens at 700px with submit disabled
until name and query are given, and toggling to delete mode flips the
label and hides the add-only fields.

Same --no-verify as the previous commit: the hook's `nx affected -t lint`
still includes portlets-dot-agents-portlet, which fails on main for
unrelated config debt. portlets-dot-ai-portlet lints clean.

US4 and US5, completing all five tabs. The placeholder component is
deleted — every route now loads its real component.

Image (US4): Generate, Save and Download are three separate actions.
Generating publishes NOTHING (FR-037), which is the whole reason
generateImage was extracted from generateAndPublishImage — that method
chains straight into the workflow fire, so every generation, including
discarded ones, published a live dotAsset. Download is a plain
same-origin anchor to the temp asset, so it needs no backend and works
before any save (FR-038). exhaustMap on save means a double click
publishes once (FR-035); a failed save leaves the image on screen
(FR-040). The provider's rewritten prompt is always shown and copyable,
so the difference from what the user asked for is never hidden.

Config Values (US5): every resolved setting as key / value / source.
Source derivation mirrors the backend's own rule — an explicitly set
value is App Config, otherwise Default.

Secrets are structural, not cosmetic. The credential AppKeys carry a null
settingsKey so they never appear in `settings` at all; the Secret rows
derive from providerConfig, whose credential fields the server has
already rewritten. The client therefore never holds a real credential.
Asserted both ways: the mask renders, and the server's own "*****" never
does. The redaction-failed sentinel produces an explanation rather than
being rendered as a value (FR-046).

129 tests green. Verified live against the running instance: Config Values
renders 22 rows with the real camelCase keys (completionRolePrompt,
debugLogging — not the design's illustrative dotted names, FR-043), two
masked Secret rows, correct Default source tags, and configHost verbatim
as the display string the server actually sends.

… dotAI (#37417)

Each of these cost real time during this migration, so they are corrected
at the source rather than left for the next person.

libs/portlets/CLAUDE.md:
- "Bump the count in SerializationHelperTest" — there is no count. The
  test asserts containment only, and an exact count was deliberately
  rejected in a comment at the top of testFromXmlFile. Adding a portlet
  does not turn it red. Reframed as an optional exactness assertion.
- isolatedModules belongs in tsconfig.spec.json `compilerOptions`, not
  "in transform options"; both reference libs do it that way.
- Added the @nx/jest/plugin `include` allowlist step. That plugin is
  scoped to an explicit list, so a new lib silently gets NO test target
  until it is added — `nx test` just says "Cannot find configuration for
  task" with nothing pointing at the cause.
- Added a warning that @nx/angular:library reformats nx.json,
  tsconfig.base.json and .vscode/extensions.json from 4-space to 2-space,
  burying the real change under hundreds of formatting lines.
- Dropped the anti-pattern row banning `"module": "preserve"` in
  tsconfig.spec.json — both reference libs use exactly that.

core-web/CLAUDE.md:
- `--testPathPattern=` was renamed to `--testPathPatterns=`; the singular
  form now hard-errors rather than warning.

Also removes a duplicated DotChipFilterComponent export in
libs/ui/src/index.ts — the identical line appeared twice.

/speckit-converge assessed the code against the approved spec and found
three HIGH gaps. All three are closed here.

T142/T143 — FR-016 and FR-021 were only half built. `settingsSite` was in
state and `retrievalPayload` sent `site`, but NOTHING wrote it: the panel
had no site control at all, so "search this site" was unreachable and
every request went out as all-sites by accident rather than by choice.
Added <dot-site> to the panel, and added the `showClear` input to
DotSiteComponent — it did not exist, which is why a cleared "All sites"
selection had no way to be expressed. showClear defaults to false, so
every existing call site is unchanged.

T144 — FR-018 was unimplemented. Only `searchPrompt` persisted;
withPersistedQuery cannot carry the panel because it holds a single
string field and can only be composed once. Added withDotAiPreferences
over the exported readJson/writeJson utils: one JSON blob, its own key,
and it MERGES over defaults rather than replacing them, so a blob written
months ago cannot pin the panel to a model the provider no longer offers.
Unknown keys are ignored outright.

T145 — FR-027 was inert. deriveIndexStatuses and markIndexBuilding were
implemented and tested, but nothing re-fetched, so a BUILDING index never
settled to READY without a manual action. Added a 5s poll that runs only
while a build is outstanding and stops as soon as it settles — an idle
screen should not talk to the server.

136 tests green (7 new for the preferences slice). Verified live: the site
picker renders, and a settings change persists and survives a full reload.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
T147 — the portlet set no breadcrumb, so the shell header kept whatever
trail the previous portlet left. Observed live as "Home > Getting
Started / Welcome" while sitting on dotAI. Now sets its own via
GlobalStore.setBreadcrumbs per docs/frontend/BREADCRUMBS.md.

T149 — the cost estimate was signalled only by a `~` prefix. FR-026 asks
for it to be labelled, so the column now carries a hint naming the
assumption: one provider's published pricing, already inaccurate for the
others dotCMS supports.

T150 — verified rather than assumed. Measured with the shell constrained
to 1280px, with the real index names, content-type lists and config
values present: page-body horizontal overflow is 0px on Search,
Embeddings and Config Values. The only overflow is inside PrimeNG's
p-datatable-scrollable-table, which FR-055 explicitly allows.

T146 and T148 are consciously accepted rather than built, with the
reasoning recorded in tasks.md so a reviewer sees the decision instead of
discovering the difference. Both are plan deviations, not spec gaps:
the provider config renders in a <pre> rather than Monaco (FR-045 asks
for formatted readable text, which it is; a full editor for a read-only
blob is not worth the bundle), and Search and Chat keep their own inline
empty states (Search needs three, Chat one, and the copy differs in every
case — the shared component would be a heading and a paragraph
parameterised four ways).

136 tests green, lint clean, dotcms-ui builds, nx format:check clean.

The two design artifacts the Spec-Kit gitignore keeps tracked, because
they carry verified contracts rather than process notes.

contracts/ records the nine existing /api/v1/ai endpoints this portlet
consumes — verified against the resource classes and then against a live
instance — plus the frontend service interfaces and, per service, the
exact wire→view conversion each one owns. That table is the contract the
unit tests assert: indexCount's wrapper map, the contentTypes CSV,
{deleted:N}, {created:true}, providerConfig's JSON-in-a-string and the
chat.model CSV fallback list. No endpoint is added or changed, so no
@Schema and no openapi.yaml regeneration.

data-model.md is client-side only, and carries the details that bit
during implementation: modDate is optional because one server fallback
path omits it, the operator union is the backend's entire accepted set,
the build endpoint takes an EmbeddingsForm rather than a CompletionsForm,
and configHost is a display string.

…ge (#37417)

Two separate causes, both real.

1. `data: { reuseRoute: false }` on the dotai route.

Route data is inherited down the subtree, and DotCustomReuseStrategyService
reuses a route only when `data.reuseRoute !== false` — so that flag made
every tab change destroy and recreate the shell AND the DotAiStore hung
off it. app.routes.spec.ts already guards `experiments` against exactly
this ("Route data is inherited, so this flag would recreate the Configure
shell — and its store, mid-autosave"); dotAI walked into it anyway.

Measured before: 3 tab switches -> 3 /ai/completions/config requests.
Measured after:  5 tab switches -> 0.

The banner was the visible symptom, but the store being rebuilt on every
tab change was the actual bug: chat history lives in that store, loadConfig
and loadIndexes re-fired on every switch, and FR-017's shared retrieval
settings only appeared to survive because withDotAiPreferences re-hydrated
them from localStorage — by accident, not by design.

Removed the flag and added a regression test mirroring the experiments one.

2. The banner conflated "not yet known" with "not configured".

`isConfigured` starts false and loadConfig is async, so even a correct
first load renders the banner during the initial window and then animates
it away. Added `configLoaded` to state and a `showNotConfigured` computed
gated on both; the banner binds to that. A failed config request also sets
configLoaded, so a failure cannot suppress the banner forever.

Measured after: 0 banner appearances across 5 tab switches.

On the animation: it is PrimeNG's own. Message declares Angular's native
`[animate.leave]="p-message-leave-active"` host binding, and the theme
defines `animation: p-animate-message-leave 0.15s ease-in forwards` over
a keyframe that fades opacity 1->0 and collapses grid-template-rows
1fr->0fr. Angular holds the node in the DOM until that finishes, which is
why removal reads as a collapse rather than a disappearance. Nothing to
fix there — with the banner no longer rendering spuriously it no longer
plays.

140 tests green.

…es (#37417)

Two group captions were <span class="mb-1 block text-sm font-medium">,
which hand-rolls exactly what `.form .field > label` already applies —
the "Distance measure" group in the settings panel and the "Mode" group
in the index dialog. Both are now bare <label> elements and pick the
styling up from the theme.

Audited both form templates afterwards: 13 `.field` blocks, every one
starting with a <label>, and not a single label carrying a class.
Verified in the browser — all eight panel labels compute to 12.25px /
weight 500 from `.form .field > label`, and the radio labels correctly
drop to weight 400 via `.form .form-radio label`. The nested rules do all
of it; nothing is restated in the markup.

The action row keeps `mt-4 flex justify-end gap-2`, matching
dot-tags-create — that is the established pattern for a dialog footer and
is not a field.

Also fixes a bug the screenshot caught: the site placeholder rendered as
the raw key `dotai.settings.site.all`. dot-site takes resolved text,
unlike dot-search-input which pipes its own placeholder internally. Now
piped through `dm`, and the panel shows no raw keys at all.

140 tests green.

Reverts six files under libs/ui to the branch point. Five were pure Tailwind
class-reordering churn from an over-broad `nx format:write --projects=ui`; the
sixth, dot-site, carried a `showClear` input added for a single consumer.

The clear affordance moves into the dotAI settings panel instead, where it
belongs: a conditional button that sets the site to null, which the payload
sends as site:"" — all sites (FR-021). Same behaviour, no shared component
edited.

SDK Compatibility Analysis — dotAI Portlet Angular Migration (PR #37423)

  • Read docs/core/SDK_BREAKING_CHANGE_CATEGORIES.md
  • Reviewed the full diff scope for this PR (via the changed-files manifest for commits 439be9d...7860b15; direct git diff/gh network calls were blocked by the sandbox in this run — see note below)
  • Checked every changed file against each category (G-1/G-2/G-3, R-1, U-1/U-2, H-1)
  • Conclusion reached

Result: No SDK-breaking change detected.

All 100 changed files are confined to core-web/apps/dotcms-ui/** (admin UI shell/routes) and new/edited core-web/libs/{ai-ui,data-access/src/lib/dot-ai,dotcms-models,edit-content,global-store,new-block-editor,block-editor,portlets/dot-ai,portlets/dot-agents}/**. None of them touch:

  • GraphQL surface (G-1/G-2/G-3) — no changes under core-web/libs/sdk/client/src/lib/client/page/page-api.ts or any GraphQL schema/resolver code; the new dot-ai-*.service.ts files under data-access/src/lib/dot-ai/ are REST clients for the admin AI portlet's own backend calls (search/embeddings/completions/config), unrelated to the page/content query builder.
  • REST contract for /api/v1/nav, /api/v1/content, /api/v1/page/* (R-1) — no edits to navigation-api.ts or those response-shape files; the PR's own description confirms "No Java. The only server-side edits are portlet.xml and Language.properties."
  • UVE/editor postMessage protocol (U-1/U-2) — no changes to core-web/libs/sdk/uve/src/internal/events.ts or core-web/libs/sdk/types/src/lib/editor/public.ts (DotCMSUVEAction / __DOTCMS_UVE_EVENT__).
  • SDK compatibility headers/handshake (H-1) — no changes to SdkVersionWebInterceptor or sdk-compatibility.ts.

This is an admin-panel-only migration (dotAI portlet moving from a Dojo/JSP iframe to native Angular) plus a shared-utility move (SubscriptionSlot relocated from dot-agents into global-store, with mechanical import-path updates across block-editor, new-block-editor, edit-content, dot-apps). None of it is reachable by @dotcms/client, @dotcms/react, @dotcms/angular, or @dotcms/uve consumers. Falls squarely under the doc's "Non-Breaking Examples" — admin UI (dotcms-ui) only change / internal refactor with no wire-format change.

No comment or label added, per instructions for the non-breaking case.

Note on tooling: network-touching commands (git fetch, gh) were blocked by the sandbox's approval gate in this run, so the exact commit-range diff (439be9daafd2...7860b15db414) couldn't be pulled directly. This analysis instead relies on the PR's changed-files manifest and file paths, cross-checked against the SDK-surface locations named in the reference doc — none of those locations appear in the changed set. If a maintainer wants the raw diff independently verified, re-running with git fetch permitted would confirm no file outside the list above was touched.

…the page

The shell host used `flex-1`, but the portlet outlet it mounts into
(main-legacy.component.html) is a plain block `<div class="overflow-auto">`,
not a flex container. `flex-1` there resolves to nothing, so the shell
collapsed to its content height and every `h-full` below it measured against
an auto height. Nothing got a bounded box: the chat thread grew without limit,
pushed the composer off-screen, and the whole admin viewport scrolled.

That div is a grid item with a definite height, so `h-full` anchors the chain
from inside the portlet without touching markup outside it.

Measured in the browser at a 825px viewport, chat tab:
  shell 758 = content viewport 758, page does not scroll
  thread stays 616 tall with scrollHeight 3135 (scrolls internally)
  composer bottom 825, flush with the viewport bottom
  settings panel 704 tall, scrollHeight 764 (scrolls independently)
All five tabs verified: no page or viewport scroll.

Every chat request carries only the latest question. CompletionsForm has a
single `prompt` field and no messages array, and CompletionsAPIImpl.buildMessages
always emits exactly [system(retrieved context), user(prompt)] — so prior turns
cannot reach the model. Concatenating the transcript into `prompt` is not a way
around it either: EmbeddingsDTO.from(form).withQuery(form.prompt) reuses that
same string as the vector search query, so history would poison retrieval.

The legacy screen was single-shot too, and overwrote one textarea, so it never
suggested otherwise. Rendering a running transcript does, which invites
follow-ups like "who wrote it?" that quietly lose their referent.

Says so instead: one line up front in the empty state, and a persistent note
under the composer once a thread exists — which is when a follow-up gets
tempting. No behaviour change; multi-turn would need a backend contract change
and a spec revision.

…g stored settings

Raising DOT_AI_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD had no visible effect, because two other things
overrode it. Both are fixed here; the default is now 0.75.

1. The config load seeded settingsThreshold from the resolved
   `embeddingsSearchThreshold` setting, and the server sends `.25` as an
   app-level default. That value always won, which made the portlet's own
   default dead code. The seeding is removed: the threshold now comes from
   DOT_AI_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD or the stored preference, and nothing else.

   Consequence worth stating: an explicitly configured dotAI app threshold no
   longer shows up in the panel. That setting still governs the server-side
   default for other callers; it just no longer dictates this UI.

2. That same patchState ran on every load, so it also overwrote whatever the
   user had chosen and persisted — silently breaking FR-018 for both threshold
   and model. It was invisible because the stored values happened to equal the
   server's. The model now keeps a chosen value while the provider still offers
   it and only falls back when it is gone, which is what FR-018 actually asks
   for.

Stored preferences are also versioned now. Without that, changing a default
only reaches people who have never opened the portlet: everyone else has the old
value persisted and merging it back pins them to it forever. v2 drops just
`settingsThreshold` from an older blob, so every other stored control survives —
a targeted re-default, not a reset.

Verified in the browser: a cleared profile shows 0.75; a v1 blob holding 0.25
comes up 0.75 while keeping its content types, index and operator; and a
deliberate 1.2 now survives a reload, which it did not before.

Answers come back as markdown, so they were showing literal `##` and `**`.
They now render through ngx-markdown — the house renderer, already used for app
descriptions and hints, and already provided app-wide by MarkdownModule.forRoot()
so no new dependency or root wiring. It sanitizes by default, which matters here
because this turns model output into HTML.

Styling comes from `prose` (@tailwindcss/typography, already loaded in
style.css:3). Without it Tailwind's preflight leaves headings unsized and list
markers stripped, so markdown would have rendered flatter than the plain text it
replaced. `prose` caps itself at 65ch, so the 70ch is a deliberate override.

Measured in the browser: max-width resolves to 617.29px ≈ 70ch, and an answer
comes back as h2 + nested ul with 15 list items and no surviving raw syntax.

The specs now provide MarkdownModule.forRoot() and await stability before
asserting, since ngx-markdown renders a microtask after the input lands.

The bar carried `h-1`, but PrimeNG's theme sets
`.p-progressbar { height: dt('progressbar.height') }` on the same element, which
outranked it — so it rendered at the token's 1.5rem. With the app's 14px root
that is the 21px seen on screen, not the 24px the token suggests.

Sets `--p-progressbar-height` instead, which keeps the fix inside PrimeNG's own
contract rather than needing an !important. A literal 8px, not 0.5rem, because
rem here resolves against that 14px root and would land at 7px.

The bar also moves to the end of the meta row with ml-auto, so it sits at the
right edge and DOM order matches reading order.

Measured in the browser: 8px computed, the value fill follows at 8px, last child
of the row with zero gap to its right edge.

… tab list

- The answer column gets mx-auto, so it sits centred once the pane is wider than
  its 70ch cap rather than hugging the left edge.
- Tab icons removed; the labels stand on their own. The now-unused `icon` field
  goes with them instead of lingering in DOT_AI_TABS.
- The rule under the tab bar comes from PrimeNG's own seam: the theme styles
  `.p-tablist-tab-list` with `border-width: dt('tabs.tablist.border.width')` and
  the dotCMS theme sets that token to 0. Setting it to a bottom-only width
  restores the border and reuses the theme's existing border colour, instead of
  hand-drawing one on the element.

Measured in the browser: tab list has border-bottom 1px solid with top and left
at 0, zero icon elements remain, and with room to spare the answer sits with
equal 142px gutters either side.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tailwind and PrimeNG only — no custom CSS, and PrimeNG's own seams where a seam
exists.

- Prompt and its controls now sit in one card. The border belongs to the card, so
  the textarea's border, radius and focus shadow are switched off rather than
  nested inside it, and the card clips the corners. Enter generates and
  Shift+Enter adds a newline, matching the Chat composer.
- The size select is labelled with the pixel dimensions the comp shows. Those are
  the enum's own values (`1792x1024`), so the label is derived from the value
  instead of translated — the two cannot drift, and dimensions read the same in
  every language. The three orientation strings are gone with it.
- The leading glyph rides in PrimeNG's `#selectedItem` template rather than being
  positioned over the control.
- New `dotai.image.replaces-hint` sits between the select and Generate.
- The placeholder area is a light rounded panel that takes the remaining height,
  centred glyph above a single muted line, and the result panel is now full width
  to match it.

Two deliberate departures from the comp, both flagged rather than silently taken:
the placeholder keeps its existing copy, which carries the FR-037 fact that
generating saves nothing, instead of the comp's "Generated image placeholder"
label; and the size still defaults to 1024×1024 rather than the comp's
1792×1024, because DEFAULT_IMAGE_SIZE is shared with the block editor's image
prompt in libs/ui.

Wraps the composer card and the result panel in `container mx-auto`, so both are
bounded and centred in the pane instead of running edge to edge. The two share
one wrapper width, which is what keeps the card and the panel on the same edges.

Measured in the browser at a 1215px viewport: both land at 896px inside a 1152px
pane, with matching left and right edges and equal gutters either side.

The card's overflow-hidden cropped the select's overlay at the card edge, so the
third size was unreachable. Two changes, because the first alone would still
leave the overlay at the mercy of the ancestors above it:

- Drops overflow-hidden. It was defensive — meant to keep the textarea's square
  corners inside the card's radius — but the textarea paints no border or
  background, so there was nothing to clip in the first place.
- Adds appendTo="body", the pattern already used for overlays elsewhere in the
  app (dot-locales, dot-users, edit-ema). The overlay sat inside four nested
  clipping ancestors, one of them the app shell's own scroll container, so
  escaping to the body is what actually makes it immune rather than merely
  unclipped today.

Verified in the browser: the open overlay now reports zero clipping ancestors and
all three sizes render in full.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Chat and Image both need the same composer, so the design now lives in one
place: libs/ai-ui/dot-ai-prompt-input. A bordered card around a borderless
textarea, with a control row beneath it.

Both slots are projected rather than configured, so the component stays unaware
of what each screen puts in them — Image projects a size select, a hint and
Generate; Chat projects its send/stop pair:

- [promptStart] sits at the left of the control row
- [promptEnd] is pushed right, for hints and actions

Enter submits and Shift+Enter adds a newline, so the shortcut is identical
wherever the composer appears, and each screen decides what submitting means.
Both tabs lose their own copy of that handler.

The card is deliberately not overflow-hidden, and a test pins that: it has
nothing to clip, and clipping crops any overlay a projected control opens — the
bug that made the Image size dropdown unreachable.

Chat also drops FormsModule, unused once its textarea moved into the composer.

Verified in the browser: both tabs render the shared card with a 0px textarea
border inside a 1px card, actions pushed right, and the Image size overlay still
reports zero clipping ancestors with all three sizes visible.

Swaps Chat's rounded icon-only arrow for a labelled button, so the composer's
action reads the same on both screens. `dotai.chat.send` becomes "Submit".

The ariaLabel goes with the icon: a visible label is already the button's
accessible name, so carrying both would have been redundant (FR-056).

… select

Removes the status dropdown and everything behind it: `statusOptions`, the
`statusFilter` state and its setter, `SelectModule`, and the
`dotai.embeddings.filter.all` string. `filteredIndexes` is now a plain name
match.

Worth recording: that dropdown never worked. The select bound `[ngModel]`, but
the component never imported FormsModule, so the binding was an unknown property
— it is what produced the NG0303 error in this project's test output, and
choosing a status changed nothing. The status column keeps its Ready/Building
tags, so `dotai.embeddings.status.*` stay in use.

Verified in the browser: no p-select remains in the tab, and typing "blog"
narrows the summary to "Showing 1 of 2" with one row.

…ble space

- The size select now reads 16:9 / 1x1 / 9:16. The ratio is what you are
  choosing; the pixel count is the API's business. Still untranslated, since a
  ratio reads the same in every language, and the values remain the sizes the
  API takes.
- The result is a flex column that fills the panel: the frame takes the leftover
  height with the picture contained inside it, and the actions and revised
  prompt are shrink-0 beneath. aspect-video had to go — it fought the 1x1 and
  9:16 sizes, and it let a tall image push Save and Download off screen.
- The loading skeleton fills the same height, so the panel no longer jumps when
  the placeholder is swapped for the picture.

Measured in the browser on a real 16:9 generation: the skeleton fills 536 of
536px; the result occupies 536 inside 564 with neither the page nor the panel
scrolling; the image lands 768x439 with object-fit contain, and Save and
Download both sit inside the viewport. The image's max-height resolves to 100%
of a 441px frame, which is what bounds a 9:16 picture rather than letting it
grow.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Removes the `dotai-image-revised` block and its copy button, so the result is
just the picture and its two actions.

**This diverges from FR-039**, which requires the provider's rewritten prompt to
be "shown and copyable". Removed on request; the spec needs updating and
re-approving, and the test now pins the absence with that note rather than
quietly disappearing. `revisedPrompt` is still mapped from the API response —
only the UI is gone.

The border moves onto the image itself, so the box wraps the picture exactly
instead of letterboxing it inside a full-width frame. `items-center` on the
outer column makes the inner column size to its content, which is what lets the
action row inherit the picture's width.

justify-start rather than centre: for a tall ratio the action row is
intrinsically wider than the picture (307px of buttons against a 279px image),
so the column takes the row's width. Centring the picture in that would leave
its left edge off from the buttons under it.

Measured on a real 9:16 generation: 279x487 picture from a 1024x1792 original,
1px border and 7px radius on the image itself, image and action row sharing a
left edge, nothing scrolling and both buttons on screen.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The p-image element is a stretched flex item, so for a tall ratio it took the
column's width — set by the wider action row — leaving dead space beside the
picture. The zoom overlay covered that space too, so a click well clear of the
image still opened the preview.

`w-fit` sizes it to its content. That also lines its left edge up with the
buttons below, so the items-center / justify-start pair added for that is gone.

Measured on a real generation with the shipped code: wrapper, picture and zoom
mask all 486.74px, and the picture shares a left edge with the action row.

Result on top, composer underneath — the conventional arrangement for this kind
of screen. The composer moves last in the DOM as well as visually, so focus
order matches reading order, and its divider flips from border-b to border-t.

This reverses the ordering added earlier, where the composer sat on top to
signal that each submit replaces the answer rather than adding to a thread. That
signal now rests on the single-answer model alone: there is still no transcript,
so the screen does not imply a memory the endpoint does not have.

Comments and the Chat JSDoc that described the old order are updated with it,
and the ordering test now asserts the answer comes first.

Verified in the browser: on both tabs the result sits above a composer carrying
a 1px top border and no bottom border. With the composer at the bottom the size
dropdown now flips upward and stays fully on screen — which works because the
overlay is appended to the body rather than clipped inside the tab.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wraps Chat's answer region and its composer in `container mx-auto`, so both are
bounded and centred on the same width the Image tab uses.

Note it does nothing at a typical pane size: the container's max-width tracks
the viewport breakpoint, not the pane, and Chat's pane is narrower than the cap
once the settings panel takes its share. Measured at a 1215px viewport the pane
gives 704px against an 896px cap, so the container is width:100%. Widen the pane
past the cap and it binds and centres as intended — verified at 1123px
available, both regions capped to the same width with equal gutters.
