Add an AI client module that integrates with OpenAI-compatible API
providers (OpenAI, Perplexity, and custom providers) to provide
AI-assisted responses within the profanity client.
The implementation includes:
- src/ai/ai_client.c/h: Core AI client with provider management,
session handling, and async HTTP request handling via libcurl.
Supports per-provider API keys stored in preferences, reference-
counted sessions, and conversation history tracking.
- src/ui/window.c/window_list.c: New AI window type (ProfAiWin) for
displaying AI conversations, with response streaming and error
display capabilities.
- Command integration: New `/ai` command (cmd_defs.c, cmd_funcs.c)
for creating sessions, sending prompts, and managing providers.
Provider autocomplete support in cmd_ac.c.
- Preferences integration: API keys for providers are persisted in
the preferences system (config/preferences.c).
- Unit tests: 472 lines of comprehensive tests covering provider
management, session lifecycle, JSON escaping, and autocomplete
(tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c).
Architecture decisions:
- Asynchronous design: HTTP requests run on a separate thread to
avoid blocking the main UI loop. Callbacks are invoked on the main
thread via direct function call (profanity uses ncurses, not GLib
main loop).
- Reference counting: Both AIProvider and AISession use ref counting
for safe shared ownership.
- Response size limit: 10MB cap on HTTP responses to prevent OOM.
Implement /force-encryption command to configure forced encryption
settings with on|off and policy resend-to-confirm|block options.
The changes enhance user experience by clarifying encryption requirements
and providing actionable commands. Users can now press Enter again to
confirm unencrypted messages in resend-to-confirm mode.
`/redraw` command allows resolve problem for usual users,
as well as developers.
Incredibly useful when debugging with something that
can trash out the output, like GDB.
Not to mention many asynchronous commands that can break the UI
at any point.
Add ability to completely turn logs off,
Needed since `/logging` and `/history` didn't stop history logging
in the DB, only in files.
Command might break something on usage,
hence it was primarily introduced for privacy geeks.

Only nicknames, photos, birthdays, addresses, telephone numbers, emails,
JIDs, titles, roles, notes, and URLs are supported
Due to the synopsis array not having enough space, `/vcard photo
open-self` and `/vcard photo save-self` are not documented properly in
the synopsis section of the `/vcard` command, but they are documented in
the arguments section
Fixed memory leak in vcard autocomplete (thanks to debXwoody)
/urlopen is replaced by /url with the following sub commands:
/url open <url>
/url save <url> [<path>]

So far the correction is sent. But the UI in Profanity itself is not
updated.
Also autocompletion for `/correct` with the last sent message is
missing.
