Prevent use-after-free in the AI request worker thread when the user
closes the AI window during the 60-second HTTP request timeout. Without
this fix, the worker may dereference a dangling pointer and crash or
exhibit undefined behavior.
The _ai_request_thread function in ai_client.c previously cast user_data
to ProfAiWin* and used it directly without verifying the window was still
alive. Added wins_ai_exists() to iterate through all AI windows and check
if the pointer is still valid before use.
Safety:
- wins_ai_exists() iterates all AI windows (handles multiple AI windows)
- Worker skips UI update if window was freed, just cleans up
- Logs warning when dangling pointer is detected
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.
After adding MAM quote and url autocompletion wouldn't pick up messages
from MAM or history(from DB) or would have them in the wrong order. This
commit fixes that.
Fixes https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/issues/1770
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)

Type `>` then press tab or shift tab to autocomplete previous messages,
then type your reply and send message.
Newlines are replaced with newline followed by `> `.
A newline is added at the end so that the user can immediately type a
message without manually adding a new line.
If re-establish a connection don't print the room history again.
In case there there happened nothing at all since we got the room
history on the last connection.
And in case there were no new messages during the time we have been
disconnected.
Instead of printing the room history again we now print 'Re-established
Connection'.
This adds a bit of overhead since we save the timestamp upon every MUC
message.
