AI Desktop Assistant

The assistant is designed to help with coding and project questions inside pyIDE. It is part of the C++ recode and is not described as finished.

• Ask about code in the active editor.
• Use selected-code, open-tab, and active-project context.
• Help locate errors and suggest improvements.

The assistant should only use pyIDE tools when the user enables Allow pyIDE Control and an active project is open.

• Tool scope is limited to the active project.
• Path traversal such as ../ must be rejected.
• Future edit batches should be visible, auditable, and recoverable.

Working milestones include listing project files, reading open tabs, reading the active editor, reading selected text, and searching project text.

• The assistant should not silently inspect arbitrary files.
• Tool results return to the assistant through pyIDE.
• The feature has not been described as formally security audited.

Development testing mentions configurable local-model direction and models such as Qwen2.5-Coder 7B. Compatibility and configuration may change before release.

• Do not assume every model interaction is fully offline unless implementation proves it.
• Do not assume unlimited computer access.

Planned work includes edit previews, controlled edits, activity logs, recoverable batches, and Undo support.

• The feature is experimental.
• Public release details are not final.
