Introduced change

An AI client module that integrates with OpenAI-compatible API providers to deliver AI-assisted responses within the CProof chat client. Users can create AI sessions, send prompts, and view responses in a dedicated AI window — all from within the terminal UI.

Capabilities

• Multi-provider support: Ships with OpenAI and Perplexity as defaults; add custom providers via /ai provider add
• Per-provider API keys: Each provider's API key is stored in the preferences system
• Conversation history: Sessions maintain message history (user/assistant turns) for context-aware responses
• Async requests: HTTP calls run on a background thread; responses and errors invoke callbacks on the main UI thread
• Model selection: Switch between models per session (e.g., gpt-4, sonar)
• Provider autocomplete: Tab-completion for provider names in commands

Reasoning behind the change

CProof is an XMPP client focused on privacy and usability. Adding AI support gives users a way to get quick answers, message drafting assistance, or knowledge retrieval without leaving the chat client.

The design prioritizes:

1. Privacy: API keys are stored per-provider in preferences, not hardcoded. Users control which providers they use. No data is shared with us, local OpenAI-compatible servers are also supported.
2. Extensibility: The provider abstraction (AIProvider struct with name, URL, org_id) makes it trivial to add new providers.
3. Non-blocking UI: Async HTTP ensures the terminal UI remains responsive during API calls.
4. Safety: Response size capped at 10MB; reference counting prevents use-after-free on shared objects.

Key Implementation Details

Provider Management — Providers are stored in a GHashTable keyed by name. Each provider has a reference count for safe shared ownership:

typedef struct ai_provider_t {
    gchar* name;
    gchar* api_url;
    gchar* org_id;
    GList* models;
    guint ref_count;
} AIProvider;

Default providers are registered during ai_client_init():

Provider	URL
openai	https://api.openai.com/v1/responses
perplexity	https://api.perplexity.ai/v1/responses

Session Lifecycle — Sessions track conversation history and are reference-counted:

typedef struct ai_session_t {
    gchar* provider_name;
    AIProvider* provider;
    gchar* model;
    gchar* api_key;
    GList* history;   // GList of AIMessage*
    guint ref_count;
} AISession;

Async HTTP Request

ai_send_prompt() spawns a GThread that:

1. Builds a JSON body from the session's conversation history
2. Sends a POST request via libcurl with the provider's API key
3. Invokes the user's callback on the main thread with the response or error

Response size is capped at 10MB to prevent OOM conditions.

UI Integration

A new ProfAiWin window type displays AI conversations. Responses are streamed line-by-line; errors are displayed in red.

Testing

Unit tests cover:

• Provider CRUD (add, remove, list, update)
• Session lifecycle (create, ref/unref, message history, clear)
• API key get/set
• JSON string escaping (special chars, backslashes, percent signs)
• Provider autocomplete (forward, backward, partial match, case sensitivity)

feat(ai): add AI client with multi-provider support and UI ... e43e8378b0

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.

Overview

Adds an AI client module with async HTTP requests via libcurl, a WIN_AI window, and an /ai command (with subcommands set/remove/start/clear/correct/providers), plus per-provider API key storage in .profrc. The architectural idea is reasonable (providers in a GHashTable, ref-counted sessions, dedicated thread for HTTP), but the implementation is raw — many bugs at the level of correctness, resources, and tests.

🔴 Critical defects

1. Tests reference URLs that don't exist in the code — CI is red

tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c:34-39 asserts:

assert_string_equal("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", openai->api_url);
assert_string_equal("https://api.perplexity.ai/v1/chat/completions", perplexity->api_url);

But src/ai/ai_client.c:25-26 defines:

#define DEFAULT_OPENAI_URL     "https://api.openai.com/v1/responses"
#define DEFAULT_PERPLEXITY_URL "https://api.perplexity.ai/v1/responses"

test_ai_client_init is guaranteed to fail. The tests clearly weren't run.

2. Default provider URLs are non-functional

• The endpoint https://api.perplexity.ai/v1/responses does not exist — Perplexity uses https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions with a messages payload.
• _build_json_payload sends {"model":...,"input":[...],"stream":false} — that's the OpenAI /v1/responses format. Any OpenAI-compatible server (LiteLLM, Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, local OpenAI emulator) expects messages on /v1/chat/completions — the feature advertised in the PR description ("local OpenAI-compatible servers are also supported") doesn't work.
• The URL table in the PR description also disagrees with the constants — unclear what's the source of truth.

3. Assistant message is added to history twice

In src/ai/ai_client.c:772 the worker calls ai_session_add_message(session, "assistant", content);, then immediately invokes aiwin_display_response(aiwin, content) (src/ai/ai_client.c:778), and that function in src/ui/window.c:2470 again does ai_session_add_message(win->session, "assistant", response);. After every response the assistant history is duplicated → the next request sends the duplicates to the API → context and token counting break.

4. API keys aren't persisted to disk

src/config/preferences.c:1714-1726 prefs_ai_set_token/prefs_ai_remove_token mutate prefs in memory but never call _save_prefs(). Compare with prefs_set_string in the same file. After a client restart all keys are lost, even though ai_load_keys() tries to read them — it will always get nothing. The advertised "API keys are stored per-provider in preferences" doesn't actually work.

5. API key leaked into the debug log

src/ai/ai_client.c:718:

log_debug("[AI-THREAD] API Key: %s", session->api_key ? (strlen(session->api_key) > 10 ? g_strndup(session->api_key, 10) : session->api_key) : "NULL");

• The first 10 characters of the key are written to the log — for most providers that's enough to identify the account; OpenAI prefixes with sk-... plus a random part, Perplexity with pplx-.... Secret leakage into logs — CWE-532.
• The g_strndup(...) return value is never freed — memory leak per request.

This line must go entirely.

6. Double g_strdup → leak

src/ai/ai_client.c:425:

session->api_key = g_strdup(ai_get_provider_key(provider_name));

ai_get_provider_key already returns a fresh g_strdup (see ai_client.c:379). The outer g_strdup copies again, the inner result is lost. Leak per session creation. Drop the outer g_strdup.

7. ai_list_providers contract contradicts implementation

The header advertises:

/** @return GList of AIProvider* (caller must not free the list or providers) */

But src/ai/ai_client.c:325 ai_provider_ref(...)s every provider, and the list needs g_list_free plus ai_provider_unref on every element. Some callers do this correctly (cmd_ai_providers), some only call g_list_free — for example cmd_ai, which leaks references on every parameter-less /ai. Either the header doc or the implementation needs to change, and all call sites need to be aligned.

8. cmd_ai_start: provider_name leak + const-cast

src/command/cmd_funcs.c (cmd_ai_start):

const gchar* provider_name = "openai";
...
provider_name = g_strndup(provider_model, slash - provider_model);

g_strndup returns gchar*, gets assigned to const gchar* (warning), and is never freed. Leak per /ai start name/model. Use auto_gchar gchar* and a temporary.

9. Command arguments are split on whitespace

/ai correct hello world through parse_args yields args[1]="hello", args[2]="world" — cmd_ai_correct only takes args[1]. Same issue for /ai set token <provider> <secret with spaces> (though secrets usually don't contain spaces) and potentially /ai start. Needs a parsing form with a freetext tail (like cmd_msg/cmd_correct) or manual args[1..N] joining.

10. ai_providers_find — broken tab-cycle

src/ai/ai_client.c:336-371: g_hash_table_iter_* returns elements in non-deterministic order. Tab completion needs to cycle through matches — the current implementation always returns g_list_last when previous=FALSE and matches->data when TRUE, with no state between keypresses, so there's no cycle through the list. The tests don't catch this because every test case has only a single match (o → openai, p → perplexity). Compare with other *_find implementations in the project — they use a stateful Autocomplete. Better: keep an Autocomplete* providers_ac, sync it with the hash table on add/remove, and don't reinvent find by hand.

🟠 Serious issues

11. _ai_invoke_callback lies about being on the UI thread

The comment at src/ai/ai_client.c:142: "profanity uses ncurses, not GLib main loop, so call directly". The callback runs on the worker, while the PR description promises "responses and errors invoke callbacks on the main UI thread". For now aiwin_display_response/aiwin_display_error are saved only by the pthread_mutex_lock(&lock) taken in the worker (see #14), but the callback machinery (ai_callback_data_t) is also set up, partially used (no-key path, curl init fail), and at the same time invokes cb_data->error_cb without holding lock — asymmetric. Either really proxy via g_idle_add (but profanity doesn't run a GMainLoop), or guarantee that any code in the callback takes lock. As-is, some paths take it and some don't — a bug waiting to happen.

12. HTTP errors and parse errors fully ignore error_cb

In _ai_request_thread at http_code >= 400 or parse failure, error_cb is never invoked — the function calls aiwin_display_error(aiwin, ...) directly via user_data. So:

• The ai_send_prompt contract is broken — error_cb is promised but doesn't fire on typical errors.
• Any third-party caller of ai_send_prompt (e.g. a script integration, correction via cmd_ai_correct) won't see errors.
• The binding of user_data rigidly assumes it's a ProfAiWin* — the "callbacks" layer is fictitious.

Either drop the illusion (remove ai_response_cb/ai_error_cb, accept ProfAiWin* explicitly), or honestly proxy all errors through cb.

13. Lifetime of ProfAiWin* aiwin = (ProfAiWin*)user_data — TOCTOU

The worker holds an ai_session_ref but does not hold a reference to the window. If the user closes the AI window during the 60-second libcurl timeout, win_free runs on the main thread, aiwin becomes dangling in the worker, and the aiwin->memcheck == PROFAIWIN_MEMCHECK check passes accidentally (the memory may be reused). Either introduce a refcount for ProfAiWin, or look up wins_get_ai() under lock and compare pointers. As-is — a potential crash/UAF.

14. Refcount isn't atomic

src/ai/ai_client.c:200 provider->ref_count++/-- and src/ai/ai_client.c:437 session->ref_count++/-- are plain operations. The session is passed to a worker thread (ai_session_ref on the main thread, ai_session_unref in the worker). That's a data race. Use g_atomic_int_inc/g_atomic_int_dec_and_test or gatomicrefcount.

15. The hand-rolled JSON parser is unreliable

_parse_ai_response searches for "text":"..." via strstr. Problems:

• strstr will find "text" anywhere, including inside another field's value or in a streaming chunk.
• Only handles the \" escape; doesn't handle \\, \/, \n, \t, ", etc. — real provider responses contain \n inside content, and they reach the user as literal \n.
• The fallback to "content":"..." will match even an echo of the user message in some response shapes ({"choices":[{"message":{"content":...}}],"prompt":[{"content":...}]} — the first occurrence wins).

The project already pulls in libstrophe (XML), but for JSON it's time to add json-glib or use a parser from the libcurl standard environment. Otherwise any edge-case responses (with errors, with reasoning blocks, with tool-calls) will misparse.

16. Response size: realsize keeps incrementing after truncate

src/ai/ai_client.c:34-37:

if (res->size + realsize > 10 * 1024 * 1024) {
    log_error("[AI-THREAD] Response too large, truncating");
    return realsize;  /* curl thinks we wrote it; but we wrote nothing */
}

Returning realsize without writing means "consumed successfully", and curl keeps streaming data right up to the 60-second timeout. That's not truncation, that's a silent drop + wasted bandwidth. Better to return 0/CURL_WRITEFUNC_ERROR so curl aborts the transfer.

17. Command /ai model <model> is documented but not implemented

In cmd_defs.c CMD_SYN/CMD_ARGS includes /ai model <model>, but CMD_SUBFUNCS doesn't. The command silently falls into cons_bad_cmd_usage. Same with the discrepancy between /ai providers and /ai providers-list (hyphenated in the syntax, providers in CMD_SUBFUNCS, and cmd_ai_providers expects args[1] == "list").

18. wins_get_ai returns the first window — cmd_ai_clear/cmd_ai_correct break with ≥2 sessions

wins_new_ai lets multiple AI windows be opened. wins_get_ai returns whatever it finds first. If the user is in the second window and runs /ai correct ... — the edit lands in the wrong session. Either restrict to a single AI window, or use the current window.

19. wins_close_ac, "ai" is added on every creation

src/ui/window_list.c:728 autocomplete_add(wins_ac, "ai")/autocomplete_add(wins_close_ac, "ai") runs every time wins_new_ai is called. If Autocomplete doesn't deduplicate, you'll get duplicates in /wins close <Tab>.

🟡 Other notes

Code quality / style

• Noisy debug logs. Dozens of log_debug("[AI-THREAD] ..."), [AI-WIN], [AI-CMD], [AI-CALLBACK], [AI-PROMPT] ENTER/EXIT lines. This is debugging code that should disappear before merge — it bloats production logs and gets in the way when debugging real issues.
• The line #include "ai/ai_client.h" in the middle of src/ui/window.h:104 — after the prototypes, before #endif. Breaks include order, and window.h (widely included) drags all AI dependencies along. Use the forward declaration typedef struct ai_session_t AISession; (already present in win_types.h).
• ci-build.sh changes are unrelated to the feature — Pikaur simulation already landed in 0feacbc9d. Looks like a rebase mistake or a stray commit. Drop from this PR.
• preferences.c missing trailing newline (diff shows \ No newline at end of file). Style nit that breaks git patches.
• PREF_AI_DEFAULT_MODEL is added to the enum but has no _get_group, _get_key, or _get_default_string mapping — dead code or a future bug.
• cons_show(" %s (URL: %s, Key: %s)", ..., key ? "set" : "not set"); in cmd_ai — key is gchar* (typed as const gchar*, which is wrong: ai_get_provider_key returns an owned pointer that must be g_free'd). Leak plus incorrect const.
• args[5] = NULL; /* placeholder for built payload */ in ai_send_prompt — unused slot.
• g_list_append in ai_session_add_message and in _build_json_payload is O(n²). For long histories — a noticeable slowdown. Replace with GQueue or tail-tracking append.

Security

• Plaintext API keys in ~/.local/share/profanity/profrc — the storage mode isn't mentioned in the PR description even though "Privacy" is promised. At minimum, warn the user via /help ai and in the log on /ai set token. Better — support reading from an environment variable or from a file pointed to by a preference (as many CLIs do).
• The /ai set token openai sk-... command ends up in the profanity command history. Maybe exclude it from history, or accept the token interactively (no echo) or from a file.

Tests

• The tests don't cover thread safety, the HTTP path, the JSON parser on real responses, the prefs_ai_* functions, the autocomplete cycle with >1 match, or error handling.
• test_ai_remove_provider's comment "Remove default provider should fail" doesn't match the test (assert_false(ai_remove_provider("nonexistent")) tests a nonexistent one, not a default).
• test_ai_session_ref_unref accesses ref via equality in assert_true after unref, but doesn't verify the free actually happened — needs valgrind/--track-origins.

Bottom line

The PR is in draft/WIP status, and it's clearly WIP: tests fail (see #1), the flagship feature (Perplexity, local OAI servers) doesn't work (#2), API keys are lost on restart (#4), assistant message double-add (#3), memory leaks and key leakage in logs (#5–8). These are blockers for merge.

Recommendation: at minimum address #1–10 (correctness + security) before re-review. In parallel, consider:

1. Switch to a real JSON parser (json-glib).
2. Either remove the fictitious callback layer or finish wiring it up.
3. Pull ci-build.sh changes into a separate PR.
4. Strip the [AI-*] debug logging.
5. Decide whether multiple AI windows are supported, and align wins_get_ai/the commands accordingly.

The URL typo (/v1/responses vs /v1/chat/completions) hints that the API format wasn't tested end-to-end at all — worth doing that before the next review iteration.

API key leaked into the debug log [src/ai/ai_client.c:718](src/ai/ai_client.c#L718): ```c log_debug("[AI-THREAD] API Key: %s", session->api_key ? (strlen(session->api_key) > 10 ? g_strndup(session->api_key, 10) : session->api_key) : "NULL"); ``` - The first 10 characters of the key are written to the log — for most providers that's enough to identify the account; OpenAI prefixes with `sk-...` plus a random part, Perplexity with `pplx-...`. Secret leakage into logs — **CWE-532**. - The `g_strndup(...)` return value is never freed — memory leak per request. This line must go entirely. ### 6. Double `g_strdup` → leak [src/ai/ai_client.c:425](src/ai/ai_client.c#L425): ```c session->api_key = g_strdup(ai_get_provider_key(provider_name)); ``` `ai_get_provider_key` already returns a fresh `g_strdup` (see [ai_client.c:379](src/ai/ai_client.c#L379)). The outer `g_strdup` copies again, the inner result is lost. Leak per session creation. Drop the outer `g_strdup`. ### 7. `ai_list_providers` contract contradicts implementation The header advertises: ```c /** @return GList of AIProvider* (caller must not free the list or providers) */ ``` But [src/ai/ai_client.c:325](src/ai/ai_client.c#L325) `ai_provider_ref(...)`s every provider, and the list needs `g_list_free` plus `ai_provider_unref` on every element. Some callers do this correctly ([cmd_ai_providers](src/command/cmd_funcs.c)), some only call `g_list_free` — for example `cmd_ai`, which leaks references on every parameter-less `/ai`. Either the header doc or the implementation needs to change, and all call sites need to be aligned. ### 8. `cmd_ai_start`: `provider_name` leak + `const`-cast [src/command/cmd_funcs.c](src/command/cmd_funcs.c) (`cmd_ai_start`): ```c const gchar* provider_name = "openai"; ... provider_name = g_strndup(provider_model, slash - provider_model); ``` `g_strndup` returns `gchar*`, gets assigned to `const gchar*` (warning), and is **never freed**. Leak per `/ai start name/model`. Use `auto_gchar gchar*` and a temporary. ### 9. Command arguments are split on whitespace `/ai correct hello world` through `parse_args` yields `args[1]="hello"`, `args[2]="world"` — `cmd_ai_correct` only takes `args[1]`. Same issue for `/ai set token <provider> <secret with spaces>` (though secrets usually don't contain spaces) and potentially `/ai start`. Needs a parsing form with a freetext tail (like `cmd_msg`/`cmd_correct`) or manual `args[1..N]` joining. ### 10. `ai_providers_find` — broken tab-cycle [src/ai/ai_client.c:336-371](src/ai/ai_client.c#L336-L371): `g_hash_table_iter_*` returns elements in **non-deterministic** order. Tab completion needs to cycle through matches — the current implementation always returns `g_list_last` when `previous=FALSE` and `matches->data` when `TRUE`, with no state between keypresses, so there's no cycle through the list. The tests don't catch this because every test case has only a single match (`o` → `openai`, `p` → `perplexity`). Compare with other `*_find` implementations in the project — they use a stateful `Autocomplete`. Better: keep an `Autocomplete* providers_ac`, sync it with the hash table on `add/remove`, and don't reinvent `find` by hand. ## 🟠 Serious issues ### 11. `_ai_invoke_callback` lies about being on the UI thread The comment at [src/ai/ai_client.c:142](src/ai/ai_client.c#L142): "profanity uses ncurses, not GLib main loop, so call directly". The callback runs **on the worker**, while the PR description promises "responses and errors invoke callbacks on the main UI thread". For now `aiwin_display_response`/`aiwin_display_error` are saved only by the `pthread_mutex_lock(&lock)` taken in the worker (see #14), but the callback machinery ([ai_callback_data_t](src/ai/ai_client.c#L72-L80)) is also set up, partially used (no-key path, curl init fail), and at the same time invokes `cb_data->error_cb` **without holding `lock`** — asymmetric. Either really proxy via `g_idle_add` (but profanity doesn't run a GMainLoop), or guarantee that any code in the callback takes `lock`. As-is, some paths take it and some don't — a bug waiting to happen. ### 12. HTTP errors and parse errors fully ignore `error_cb` In [_ai_request_thread](src/ai/ai_client.c#L756-L795) at `http_code >= 400` or parse failure, **error_cb is never invoked** — the function calls `aiwin_display_error(aiwin, ...)` directly via `user_data`. So: - The `ai_send_prompt` contract is broken — `error_cb` is promised but doesn't fire on typical errors. - Any third-party caller of `ai_send_prompt` (e.g. a script integration, correction via `cmd_ai_correct`) won't see errors. - The binding of `user_data` rigidly assumes it's a `ProfAiWin*` — the "callbacks" layer is fictitious. Either drop the illusion (remove `ai_response_cb`/`ai_error_cb`, accept `ProfAiWin*` explicitly), or honestly proxy all errors through `cb`. ### 13. Lifetime of `ProfAiWin* aiwin = (ProfAiWin*)user_data` — TOCTOU The worker holds an `ai_session_ref` but does **not** hold a reference to the window. If the user closes the AI window during the 60-second libcurl timeout, `win_free` runs on the main thread, `aiwin` becomes dangling in the worker, and the `aiwin->memcheck == PROFAIWIN_MEMCHECK` check passes accidentally (the memory may be reused). Either introduce a refcount for `ProfAiWin`, or look up `wins_get_ai()` under `lock` and compare pointers. As-is — a potential crash/UAF. ### 14. Refcount isn't atomic [src/ai/ai_client.c:200](src/ai/ai_client.c#L200) `provider->ref_count++`/`--` and [src/ai/ai_client.c:437](src/ai/ai_client.c#L437) `session->ref_count++`/`--` are plain operations. The session is passed to a worker thread (`ai_session_ref` on the main thread, `ai_session_unref` in the worker). That's a data race. Use `g_atomic_int_inc`/`g_atomic_int_dec_and_test` or `gatomicrefcount`. ### 15. The hand-rolled JSON parser is unreliable [_parse_ai_response](src/ai/ai_client.c#L568-L642) searches for `"text":"..."` via `strstr`. Problems: - `strstr` will find `"text"` anywhere, including inside another field's value or in a streaming chunk. - Only handles the `\"` escape; doesn't handle `\\`, `\/`, `\n`, `\t`, `"`, etc. — real provider responses contain `\n` inside `content`, and they reach the user as literal `\n`. - The fallback to `"content":"..."` will match even an echo of the user message in some response shapes (`{"choices":[{"message":{"content":...}}],"prompt":[{"content":...}]}` — the first occurrence wins). The project already pulls in libstrophe (XML), but for JSON it's time to add json-glib or use a parser from the libcurl standard environment. Otherwise any edge-case responses (with errors, with reasoning blocks, with tool-calls) will misparse. ### 16. Response size: `realsize` keeps incrementing after truncate [src/ai/ai_client.c:34-37](src/ai/ai_client.c#L34-L37): ```c if (res->size + realsize > 10 * 1024 * 1024) { log_error("[AI-THREAD] Response too large, truncating"); return realsize; /* curl thinks we wrote it; but we wrote nothing */ } ``` Returning `realsize` without writing means "consumed successfully", and curl keeps streaming data right up to the 60-second timeout. That's not truncation, that's a **silent drop** + wasted bandwidth. Better to return `0`/`CURL_WRITEFUNC_ERROR` so curl aborts the transfer. ### 17. Command `/ai model <model>` is documented but not implemented In [cmd_defs.c](src/command/cmd_defs.c) `CMD_SYN`/`CMD_ARGS` includes `/ai model <model>`, but `CMD_SUBFUNCS` doesn't. The command silently falls into `cons_bad_cmd_usage`. Same with the discrepancy between `/ai providers` and `/ai providers-list` (hyphenated in the syntax, `providers` in `CMD_SUBFUNCS`, and `cmd_ai_providers` expects `args[1] == "list"`). ### 18. `wins_get_ai` returns the first window — `cmd_ai_clear`/`cmd_ai_correct` break with ≥2 sessions `wins_new_ai` lets multiple AI windows be opened. `wins_get_ai` returns whatever it finds first. If the user is in the second window and runs `/ai correct ...` — the edit lands in the wrong session. Either restrict to a single AI window, or use the current window. ### 19. `wins_close_ac, "ai"` is added on every creation [src/ui/window_list.c:728](src/ui/window_list.c#L728) `autocomplete_add(wins_ac, "ai")`/`autocomplete_add(wins_close_ac, "ai")` runs every time `wins_new_ai` is called. If `Autocomplete` doesn't deduplicate, you'll get duplicates in `/wins close <Tab>`. ## 🟡 Other notes ### Code quality / style - **Noisy debug logs**. Dozens of `log_debug("[AI-THREAD] ...")`, `[AI-WIN]`, `[AI-CMD]`, `[AI-CALLBACK]`, `[AI-PROMPT]` ENTER/EXIT lines. This is debugging code that should disappear before merge — it bloats production logs and gets in the way when debugging real issues. - **The line `#include "ai/ai_client.h"` in the middle of [src/ui/window.h:104](src/ui/window.h#L104)** — after the prototypes, before `#endif`. Breaks include order, and `window.h` (widely included) drags all AI dependencies along. Use the forward declaration `typedef struct ai_session_t AISession;` (already present in `win_types.h`). - **`ci-build.sh` changes are unrelated to the feature** — Pikaur simulation already landed in `0feacbc9d`. Looks like a rebase mistake or a stray commit. Drop from this PR. - **`preferences.c` missing trailing newline** ([diff](src/config/preferences.c) shows `\ No newline at end of file`). Style nit that breaks git patches. - **`PREF_AI_DEFAULT_MODEL`** is added to the enum but has no `_get_group`, `_get_key`, or `_get_default_string` mapping — dead code or a future bug. - **`cons_show(" %s (URL: %s, Key: %s)", ..., key ? "set" : "not set");`** in `cmd_ai` — `key` is `gchar*` (typed as `const gchar*`, which is wrong: `ai_get_provider_key` returns an owned pointer that must be `g_free`'d). Leak plus incorrect const. - `args[5] = NULL; /* placeholder for built payload */` in [ai_send_prompt](src/ai/ai_client.c#L828) — unused slot. - `g_list_append` in `ai_session_add_message` and in `_build_json_payload` is O(n²). For long histories — a noticeable slowdown. Replace with `GQueue` or tail-tracking append. ### Security - **Plaintext API keys in `~/.local/share/profanity/profrc`** — the storage mode isn't mentioned in the PR description even though "Privacy" is promised. At minimum, warn the user via `/help ai` and in the log on `/ai set token`. Better — support reading from an environment variable or from a file pointed to by a preference (as many CLIs do). - **The `/ai set token openai sk-...` command ends up in the profanity command history.** Maybe exclude it from history, or accept the token interactively (no echo) or from a file. ### Tests - The tests don't cover thread safety, the HTTP path, the JSON parser on real responses, the `prefs_ai_*` functions, the autocomplete cycle with >1 match, or error handling. - `test_ai_remove_provider`'s comment "Remove default provider should fail" doesn't match the test (`assert_false(ai_remove_provider("nonexistent"))` tests a nonexistent one, not a default). - `test_ai_session_ref_unref` accesses `ref` via equality in `assert_true` after `unref`, but doesn't verify the free actually happened — needs `valgrind`/`--track-origins`. ## Bottom line The PR is in **draft/WIP** status, and it's clearly WIP: tests fail (see #1), the flagship feature (Perplexity, local OAI servers) doesn't work (#2), API keys are lost on restart (#4), assistant message double-add (#3), memory leaks and key leakage in logs (#5–8). These are blockers for merge. **Recommendation**: at minimum address #1–10 (correctness + security) before re-review. In parallel, consider: 1. Switch to a real JSON parser (json-glib). 2. Either remove the fictitious callback layer or finish wiring it up. 3. Pull `ci-build.sh` changes into a separate PR. 4. Strip the `[AI-*]` debug logging. 5. Decide whether multiple AI windows are supported, and align `wins_get_ai`/the commands accordingly. The URL typo (`/v1/responses` vs `/v1/chat/completions`) hints that the API format wasn't tested end-to-end at all — worth doing that before the next review iteration.

fix(ai): persist API keys to disk after set/remove operations ... 25e0459979

API keys set via /ai set token were only stored in memory and lost
on client restart. prefs_ai_set_token() and prefs_ai_remove_token()
mutated the in-memory prefs but never called _save_prefs(), unlike

Both functions now call _save_prefs() after mutating the keyfile,

fix(ai): move generic subcommand autocomplete outside nested conditionals ... dc75f16221

The generic `/ai <subcommand>` tab-completion was nested inside conditional
blocks that prevented it from firing in common cases — for example,
`/ai<tab>` or `/ai <tab>` would never match subcommands because the
`autocomplete_param_with_ac()` call was guarded by argument count checks
and nested inside the explicit handler branches.

Move the fallback subcommand autocomplete to execute unconditionally after
all explicit handler branches, ensuring `/ai <tab>` always lists available
subcommands regardless of argument count or which subcommand was typed.

Also move the `/ai set` subcommand fallback outside the inner else-block
so it runs whenever args[0] is "set", not only when num_args >= 2.

refactor(ai): flatten autocomplete into sequential prefix-matching chain ... 002a6ed15b

Replace the deeply nested conditional tree in _ai_autocomplete() with a
flat sequential chain of autocomplete_param_with_*() calls. Each call
tries a specific command prefix (e.g., "/ai set provider", "/ai start")
and returns immediately on match — a common, reliable pattern for
command-line tab completion.

The previous design nested provider-name autocomplete inside
g_strv_length() and g_strcmp0() checks, meaning /ai<tab> and /ai <tab>
would never reach the subcommand matcher. The new flat structure ensures
every prefix is tried in order, with the most specific prefixes first
and the generic /ai subcommand fallback last.

This pattern — sequential prefix matching with early return — is the
standard approach for autocomplete dispatch: each handler owns its
prefix, no shared state or argument parsing is needed, and adding a
new subcommand is a single append to the chain.

refactor(ai): use stateful autocomplete for provider name matching ... 461c0c32dd

Replace the manual GHashTable iteration in ai_providers_find() with the
existing stateful autocomplete system. Provider names are now kept in
sync via autocomplete_add/remove during ai_add_provider/ai_remove_provider,
and ai_providers_find delegates to autocomplete_complete() for deterministic
tab-completion cycling through sorted results.

This eliminates manual GList allocation, iteration, and cleanup, while
providing consistent forward/backward cycling behavior shared by all
autocomplete callers.

Rename test_ai_providers_find_case_sensitive to test_ai_providers_find_case_insensitive

fix(ai): validate aiwin pointer to prevent UAF when window closed ... 2fc7f3d672

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

feat(ai): disable request storage via store:false parameter ... cfe6ea46e2

Add store:false to AI API requests to prevent OpenAI, Perplexity, and
other providers from storing conversation data or using it for training.

Both the OpenAI Responses API and Perplexity API support the store
parameter to control whether requests are persisted. Setting it to false
ensures conversations remain private and are not retained by the provider.

Privacy:
- Requests are not stored by AI providers
- Conversations are not used for model training
- Aligns with CProof's privacy-first design

🟠 Still outstanding

F2 — Default URLs still don't reach a working endpoint for two of three claimed targets

src/ai/ai_client.c:27-28:

#define DEFAULT_OPENAI_URL     "https://api.openai.com/"
#define DEFAULT_PERPLEXITY_URL "https://api.perplexity.ai/"

…and at request time src/ai/ai_client.c:730:

auto_gchar gchar* request_url = g_strdup_printf("%s%sv1/responses", api_url, ...);

The path v1/responses is hardcoded for every provider:

• Perplexity doesn't expose /v1/responses. Real endpoint is https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions. The shipped default for Perplexity will return 404 on the first prompt.
• Local OpenAI-compatible servers (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LiteLLM, LocalAI) only implement /v1/chat/completions. The PR description still claims "local OpenAI-compatible servers are also supported" — that claim does not hold.

A custom provider can override the base URL via /ai set provider, but cannot switch the path scheme or payload shape ({"input":[...],"store":false} vs {"messages":[...]}). Either:

• Make the path a per-provider field (alongside api_url/org_id), default it appropriately for openai/perplexity, or
• Drop Perplexity from the shipped defaults and document that only the OpenAI Responses API is supported, or
• Implement a second payload mode (/v1/chat/completions with messages) and pick by provider.

F15 — JSON parser improved but still not robust

src/ai/ai_client.c:608-664 now decodes \n in addition to \" (a16237d16). Remaining gaps:

• \\, \t, \r, \f, \b, \/, \uXXXX are passed through verbatim — JSON decoders will produce wrong text whenever the model emits Unicode or tab/CR characters.
• The strstr("\"text\":\"") / strstr("\"content\":\"") heuristic still matches anywhere in the body, including key fragments inside other field values. For error envelopes like {"error":{"message":"...","type":"..."},"text":"..."} it can pick the wrong field.

Recommendation unchanged: pull in json-glib (already an optional dep on most distros that ship glib) and write three or four lines for the happy path. The current code is one weird response away from a bad bug.

F16 — _write_callback overflow path still silently consumes data

src/ai/ai_client.c:51-53:

if (res->size + realsize > 10 * 1024 * 1024) {
    log_error("[AI-THREAD] Response too large, truncating");
    return realsize;   /* tells curl "consumed", we kept nothing */
}

Returning realsize makes libcurl believe the chunk was written, so it will keep streaming the remaining body up to the 60s timeout. This is "drop and waste bandwidth", not "truncate". Return 0 (or CURL_WRITEFUNC_ERROR) so curl aborts the transfer; the existing partial buffer is what _parse_ai_response will see.

F17 — Documented commands without implementations

src/command/cmd_defs.c:2793-2824 still advertises:

• /ai providers-list — no providers-list subcommand exists; cmd_ai_providers looks for args[1] == "list" (i.e. /ai providers list). Help text and behavior diverge.
• /ai model <model> — no cmd_ai_model mapped in CMD_SUBFUNCS. Invocation falls through to cons_bad_cmd_usage.

Either implement them or remove from CMD_SYN/CMD_ARGS/CMD_EXAMPLES.

F18 — wins_get_ai still returns the first AI window

src/ui/window_list.c:870-885 iterates values and returns on the first WIN_AI. wins_new_ai does not prevent multiple AI windows. So:

• /ai correct ... always edits the first window's session, even when the user is typing in window N.
• /ai clear (when invoked from a non-AI window) clears only the first one.

Either restrict to a single AI window (assert in wins_new_ai), or look up the current window and fall back to wins_get_ai() only if not in WIN_AI. cmd_ai_clear already does the right thing for the in-window case; cmd_ai_correct does not.

Bundled unrelated change — ci-build.sh

ci-build.sh diff still contains the Pikaur parity block. The same change already shipped on master in 0feacbc9d. This is duplicate / rebase residue and should be dropped from the PR.

PREF_AI_DEFAULT_MODEL still unmapped

src/config/preferences.h:186 declares PREF_AI_DEFAULT_MODEL but _get_group, _get_key and _get_default_string only handle PREF_AI_PROVIDER / PREF_AI_API_KEY. The enum is dead — either wire it up (default model setting feels useful) or delete the symbol.

Debug log noise

grep -c '\[AI-' src/ai/ai_client.c src/ui/aiwin.c shows ~28 log_debug calls tagged [AI-THREAD]/[AI-WIN]/[AI-PROMPT]/[AI-CMD] remain. 4913a3d5a removed the inaccurate ones, but most of the ENTER/EXIT and parameter-dump lines are still in. They will be on at DEBUG log level in production. Consider gating behind a feature-specific level or stripping pre-merge.

🆕 New findings introduced by the round-1 follow-ups

N1 — _aiwin_validate reads the global values list without holding lock

src/ai/ai_client.c:80-94:

static ProfAiWin*
_aiwin_validate(gpointer user_data) {
    if (!user_data) return NULL;
    if (!wins_ai_exists((ProfAiWin*)user_data)) { ... }   // <- NO lock held
    return (ProfAiWin*)user_data;
}

wins_ai_exists walks the global values GList* (the window list) — that list was previously only ever touched from the main thread and is not protected by any synchronization. After this PR the worker thread reads it from _aiwin_display_response / _aiwin_display_error before taking pthread_mutex_lock(&lock). Concurrent mutation from the main thread (window create/close shuffles values) races with the worker's g_list_next walk; a list node can be g_free'd mid-traversal.

Fix: pull the existence check inside the locked section so it runs under the same mutex that guards the dispatch:

pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
if (wins_ai_exists((ProfAiWin*)user_data)) {
    aiwin_display_response((ProfAiWin*)user_data, response);
}
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);

N2 — TOCTOU between _aiwin_validate returning and pthread_mutex_lock acquiring

Even if N1 is addressed for values access, the validate→lock→display sequence has a window where the main thread can run win_free on the window between steps. aiwin_display_response then asserts memcheck on memory that's been freed — may pass accidentally, may crash. Same fix as N1: validate inside the critical section, not before it.

N3 — OpenAI-Organization header sent to non-OpenAI providers

src/ai/ai_client.c:712-715:

if (session->provider && session->provider->org_id && strlen(session->provider->org_id) > 0) {
    auto_gchar gchar* org_header = g_strdup_printf("OpenAI-Organization: %s", session->provider->org_id);
    headers = curl_slist_append(headers, org_header);
}

The header name is hardcoded to OpenAI-Organization and is sent to every provider that has org_id set — Perplexity, Anthropic, Together, OpenRouter, custom gateways. Most don't recognize it (harmless), some strict gateways reject the request as 400. Either store the header name per-provider, or only emit it when provider_name == "openai".

N4 — cl_ev_send_ai_msg(..., id) takes an id that's always NULL

src/event/client_events.c:289-309 declares the parameter; the only caller src/command/cmd_funcs.c:8379 passes NULL because AI messages have no XMPP id source. Either drop the parameter, or actually generate a ULID/UUID for /ai correct-style flows where an id would let us locate and replace the message in the buffer. As-is, dead parameter in a public API.

N5 — Orphaned session leak when window is closed mid-flight

The worker holds an ai_session_ref(session), so the session outlives the window — that part is correct. But if the user closes the AI window between ai_send_prompt and the response arrival, the worker:

1. Adds the assistant message to session->history (src/ai/ai_client.c:769) — before dispatch.
2. Calls _aiwin_display_response, which fails the validate and drops the message on the floor.
3. Calls ai_session_unref(session) at thread exit — refcount drops to 0, session is freed.

So the message is silently lost (no error shown), and no follow-up "show in next AI window" hook exists because wins_new_ai always creates a fresh AISession. Not a leak (refcount semantics are right), but a UX hole: the user closes the window, opens a new one to the same provider, and their previous in-flight reply has vanished without any "request was cancelled" notice. Either show a console notice on validate-fail, or drop the in-flight history append until the response is actually displayed.

Note: ai_client_shutdown is still never called from profanity's main shutdown path (also a round-1 carryover) — curl_global_cleanup and the providers/keys hash tables leak at exit. Easy fix: call from prof_shutdown.

🟡 Not addressed (lower priority but worth noting)

• API keys stored in plaintext in ~/.local/share/profanity/profrc — works as designed but the PR description still markets "Privacy" without disclosure. Add a cons_show warning on first /ai set token, or document mode of storage in /help ai. Better: support ${VAR}-style env-var indirection or a separate file path so users can keep keys out of dotfile backups.
• /ai set token openai sk-... lands in profanity command history — easy footgun. Other clients (e.g. psql) suppress \password from history; profanity would benefit from the same for any command that takes a secret.
• Tests still don't exercise the HTTP path, the JSON parser on real responses, prefs_ai_* round-trip, or autocomplete cycling with ≥2 matches. The default-URL test passes only because there are zero mismatches; behavior under realistic responses is unverified.
• g_list_append in ai_session_add_message and _build_json_payload is O(n²) — long histories will slow noticeably. Switch to GQueue or track the tail.

Bottom line

Round 1 was a substantive fix-up — 13 of the 14 critical/serious findings are resolved, and the threading / lifetime story (F11–14) is now coherent at the high level. The remaining blockers cluster around:

1. F2 — the default Perplexity endpoint and the "local OAI server" claim still don't work; the path scheme is hardcoded.
2. N1 / N2 — the new _aiwin_validate helper added in round 1 introduces a fresh data race against values and a TOCTOU before locking. Same class of UAF the original F13 was supposed to close.
3. F15 — the hand-rolled JSON parser is one tab character or " away from corrupt output.
4. F16 — the overflow-truncation path leaks bandwidth and time.
5. F17, F18 — documented commands not implemented, wins_get_ai still single-window-only.

Once F2, N1/N2 and the doc/impl mismatches in F17 are closed, the PR can ship; F15/F16/F18 can land as small follow-ups but should ideally be settled before exiting WIP. The unrelated ci-build.sh block should be removed from this PR regardless.

Real endpoint is `https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions`. The shipped default for Perplexity will return 404 on the first prompt. - **Local OpenAI-compatible servers** (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LiteLLM, LocalAI) only implement `/v1/chat/completions`. The PR description still claims "local OpenAI-compatible servers are also supported" — that claim does not hold. A custom provider can override the **base URL** via `/ai set provider`, but cannot switch the path scheme or payload shape (`{"input":[...],"store":false}` vs `{"messages":[...]}`). Either: - Make the path a per-provider field (alongside `api_url`/`org_id`), default it appropriately for `openai`/`perplexity`, **or** - Drop Perplexity from the shipped defaults and document that only the OpenAI Responses API is supported, **or** - Implement a second payload mode (`/v1/chat/completions` with `messages`) and pick by provider. ### F15 — JSON parser improved but still not robust [src/ai/ai_client.c:608-664](src/ai/ai_client.c#L608-L664) now decodes `\n` in addition to `\"` (`a16237d16`). Remaining gaps: - `\\`, `\t`, `\r`, `\f`, `\b`, `\/`, `\uXXXX` are passed through verbatim — JSON decoders will produce wrong text whenever the model emits Unicode or tab/CR characters. - The `strstr("\"text\":\"")` / `strstr("\"content\":\"")` heuristic still matches anywhere in the body, including key fragments inside other field values. For error envelopes like `{"error":{"message":"...","type":"..."},"text":"..."}` it can pick the wrong field. Recommendation unchanged: pull in `json-glib` (already an optional dep on most distros that ship glib) and write three or four lines for the happy path. The current code is one weird response away from a bad bug. ### F16 — `_write_callback` overflow path still silently consumes data [src/ai/ai_client.c:51-53](src/ai/ai_client.c#L51-L53): ```c if (res->size + realsize > 10 * 1024 * 1024) { log_error("[AI-THREAD] Response too large, truncating"); return realsize; /* tells curl "consumed", we kept nothing */ } ``` Returning `realsize` makes libcurl believe the chunk was written, so it will keep streaming the remaining body up to the 60s timeout.

Help text and behavior diverge. - `/ai model <model>` — no `cmd_ai_model` mapped in `CMD_SUBFUNCS`. Invocation falls through to `cons_bad_cmd_usage`. Either implement them or remove from `CMD_SYN`/`CMD_ARGS`/`CMD_EXAMPLES`. ### F18 — `wins_get_ai` still returns the first AI window [src/ui/window_list.c:870-885](src/ui/window_list.c#L870-L885) iterates `values` and returns on the first `WIN_AI`. `wins_new_ai` does not prevent multiple AI windows. So: - `/ai correct ...` always edits the first window's session, even when the user is typing in window N. - `/ai clear` (when invoked from a non-AI window) clears only the first one. Either restrict to a single AI window (assert in `wins_new_ai`), or look up the current window and fall back to `wins_get_ai()` only if not in `WIN_AI`. `cmd_ai_clear` already does the right thing for the in-window case; `cmd_ai_correct` does not. ### Bundled unrelated change — `ci-build.sh` [ci-build.sh diff](ci-build.sh) still contains the Pikaur parity block.

fix(ai): protect window validation with mutex ... 07d267b5bc

The existence check accesses shared state without synchronization,
which can cause race conditions when called from background threads.
Explicitly locking the mutex ensures safe access during validation.

jabber.developer added 1 commit 2026-05-09 13:57:22 +00:00

feat(ai): implement robust JSON model parsing ... a898cb212d

Rewrote internal JSON parsing to correctly handle whitespace, escaped
quotes, and strict field context extraction. This prevents incorrect
field names or provider names from being added to the model list.

Added `ai_parse_models_from_json` public API to facilitate testing.

Changed `/ai models` default behavior to always fetch fresh models.
Replaced `--refresh` flag with `--cached` to display local cache.

Added comprehensive unit tests covering OpenAI and Perplexity formats,
array format, empty/null JSON, escaped quotes, and whitespace handling.

fix(ai): improve API error parsing and fallback ... ecb07fd00c

Add early return for empty responses and fallback to console output
when the AI window is closed or invalid. Implement JSON error
parsing to extract readable messages from API failures, improving
debugging and user feedback.

…and at request time src/ai/ai_client.c:730:

auto_gchar gchar* request_url = g_strdup_printf("%s%sv1/responses", api_url, ...);

The path v1/responses is hardcoded for every provider:

• Perplexity doesn't expose /v1/responses. Real endpoint is https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions. The shipped default for Perplexity will return 404 on the first prompt.
• Local OpenAI-compatible servers (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LiteLLM, LocalAI) only implement /v1/chat/completions. The PR description still claims "local OpenAI-compatible servers are also supported" — that claim does not hold.

A custom provider can override the base URL via /ai set provider, but cannot switch the path scheme or payload shape ({"input":[...],"store":false} vs {"messages":[...]}). Either:

• Make the path a per-provider field (alongside api_url/org_id), default it appropriately for openai/perplexity, or
• Drop Perplexity from the shipped defaults and document that only the OpenAI Responses API is supported, or
• Implement a second payload mode (/v1/chat/completions with messages) and pick by provider.

F15 (chat path) — Chat response parser still strstr-based

a898cb212 added a robust parser for _parse_openai_models (models list endpoint) with proper whitespace/escape handling. But the chat-response path src/ai/ai_client.c:1200-1280 — which is what every user prompt hits — is unchanged from round 2:

• Still uses strstr("\"text\":\"") and strstr("\"content\":\"") heuristics that match anywhere in the body.
• Still decodes only \" and \n. \\, \t, \r, ", \b, \f, \/ are passed through verbatim.
• _parse_error_response (new in ecb07fd00) adds \\ and \t handling but is also strstr-based.

Now there are three hand-rolled "JSON parsers" in one file with slightly different escape coverage. Worth either porting the robust parser from _parse_openai_models to the chat path, or just pulling in json-glib for all three.

Bundled unrelated change — ci-build.sh

ci-build.sh diff still contains the Pikaur parity block. The same change already shipped on master in 0feacbc9d. This is duplicate / rebase residue and should be dropped from the PR.

PREF_AI_DEFAULT_MODEL still unmapped

src/config/preferences.h:186 declares PREF_AI_DEFAULT_MODEL but _get_group, _get_key and _get_default_string only handle PREF_AI_PROVIDER / PREF_AI_API_KEY. The enum is dead — either wire it up (default model setting feels useful) or delete the symbol.

Debug log noise

grep -c '\[AI-' src/ai/ai_client.c src/ui/aiwin.c shows ~28 log_debug calls tagged [AI-THREAD]/[AI-WIN]/[AI-PROMPT]/[AI-CMD] remain. 4913a3d5a removed the inaccurate ones, but most of the ENTER/EXIT and parameter-dump lines are still in. They will be on at DEBUG log level in production. Consider gating behind a feature-specific level or stripping pre-merge.

🆕 New findings introduced by the round-1 follow-ups

N2 — TOCTOU between _aiwin_validate and _aiwin_display_* still open (round 2 fix was incomplete)

07d267b5b wrapped the wins_ai_exists check in lock/unlock — that fixes the data race on values traversal (N1, closed). But the calling pattern in src/ai/ai_client.c:110-148 still releases lock between the existence check and the actual dispatch:

static ProfAiWin*
_aiwin_validate(gpointer user_data) {
    ...
    pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
    gboolean win_exists = wins_ai_exists((ProfAiWin*)user_data);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);                              // <-- lock released
    ...
    return (ProfAiWin*)user_data;
}

static void
_aiwin_display_response(gpointer user_data, const gchar* response) {
    ProfAiWin* aiwin = _aiwin_validate(user_data);
    ...
    pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);                                // <-- re-acquired; window may be gone
    aiwin_display_response(aiwin, response);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
}

Between the unlock at line 95 and the re-lock at line 145, the main thread can complete win_free. The memcheck assert inside aiwin_display_response then runs on freed memory — usually crashes, sometimes passes by coincidence. Same UAF class as the original F13.

Correct fix: collapse validate + dispatch into one critical section:

pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
if (wins_ai_exists((ProfAiWin*)user_data)) {
    aiwin_display_response((ProfAiWin*)user_data, response);
}
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);

N3 — OpenAI-Organization header sent to non-OpenAI providers

src/ai/ai_client.c:712-715:

if (session->provider && session->provider->org_id && strlen(session->provider->org_id) > 0) {
    auto_gchar gchar* org_header = g_strdup_printf("OpenAI-Organization: %s", session->provider->org_id);
    headers = curl_slist_append(headers, org_header);
}

The header name is hardcoded to OpenAI-Organization and is sent to every provider that has org_id set — Perplexity, Anthropic, Together, OpenRouter, custom gateways. Most don't recognize it (harmless), some strict gateways reject the request as 400. Either store the header name per-provider, or only emit it when provider_name == "openai".

N4 — cl_ev_send_ai_msg(..., id) takes an id that's always NULL

src/event/client_events.c:289-309 declares the parameter; the only caller src/command/cmd_funcs.c:8379 passes NULL because AI messages have no XMPP id source. Either drop the parameter, or actually generate a ULID/UUID for /ai correct-style flows where an id would let us locate and replace the message in the buffer. As-is, dead parameter in a public API.

N5 — Orphaned session leak when window is closed mid-flight

The worker holds an ai_session_ref(session), so the session outlives the window — that part is correct. But if the user closes the AI window between ai_send_prompt and the response arrival, the worker:

1. Adds the assistant message to session->history (src/ai/ai_client.c:769) — before dispatch.
2. Calls _aiwin_display_response, which fails the validate and drops the message on the floor.
3. Calls ai_session_unref(session) at thread exit — refcount drops to 0, session is freed.

So the message is silently lost (no error shown), and no follow-up "show in next AI window" hook exists because wins_new_ai always creates a fresh AISession. Not a leak (refcount semantics are right), but a UX hole: the user closes the window, opens a new one to the same provider, and their previous in-flight reply has vanished without any "request was cancelled" notice. Either show a console notice on validate-fail, or drop the in-flight history append until the response is actually displayed.

Note: ai_client_shutdown is still never called from profanity's main shutdown path (also a round-1 carryover) — curl_global_cleanup and the providers/keys hash tables leak at exit. Easy fix: call from prof_shutdown.

🆕 New findings introduced by the round-2 follow-ups

X1 — cmd_ai_switch ref-count increment is non-atomic (regresses F14)

src/command/cmd_funcs.c:11118:

aiwin->session->provider->ref_count++;

F14 made all session/provider refcount mutations atomic (g_atomic_int_inc / g_atomic_int_dec_and_test). This new call site uses a plain ++. Since the worker thread can be touching provider->ref_count via ai_provider_unref at any moment, this is a data race / lost-decrement bug. Replace with g_atomic_int_inc(&aiwin->session->provider->ref_count); — or better, use the existing ai_provider_ref() helper for consistency.

X2 — cmd_ai_switch / cmd_ai_clear / (dead) cmd_ai_correct mutate session shared with worker without coordination

cmd_ai_switch runs on the main thread and does, unprotected:

g_free(aiwin->session->provider_name);
aiwin->session->provider_name = g_strdup(provider_name);
ai_provider_unref(aiwin->session->provider);
aiwin->session->provider = new_provider;
...
g_free(aiwin->session->model);
aiwin->session->model = g_strdup(model);
g_free(aiwin->session->api_key);
aiwin->session->api_key = g_strdup(api_key);

While an in-flight worker for the same session is reading exactly these fields in _ai_request_thread (session->provider_name, session->provider->api_url, session->model, session->api_key). Race + UAF: the worker can dereference a freed session->model between the g_free and the g_strdup. Also dropping session->provider while the worker holds a borrowed pointer to it inside session->provider->api_url causes UAF as soon as refcount hits zero.

The same pattern applies to ai_session_clear_history (called from cmd_ai_clear) — it iterates and frees session->history while _build_json_payload walks it from the worker.

Fix: either require all session mutations to happen under &lock and have the worker pthread_mutex_lock(&lock) while reading session state into local copies, or implement a "request in flight" guard that refuses switch/clear until the worker completes.

X3 — cmd_ai_correct is dead code

acae54305 removed correct from CMD_SUBFUNCS (replaced by switch), but the function body still lives at src/command/cmd_funcs.c:11197-11246 and the declaration in cmd_funcs.h is still exported. Either restore the wiring (and update help text), or delete the function + declaration. As-is, dead code with a stale '/ai start <provider>/<model>' message in its error path that no longer matches the new syntax.

X4 — _ai_generic_request_thread holds an unrefed borrow on the provider

src/ai/ai_client.c:632:

AIProvider* provider = ai_get_provider(req->provider_name);
if (!provider) { ... }
...
struct curl_slist* headers = _build_curl_headers(provider, api_key);
...
_curl_exec_and_handle(curl, req->request_url, headers, &response, ..., provider, ...);

This is the models-fetch worker. It:

1. Looks up the provider from the hash table on the worker thread — without lock. If the main thread runs /ai remove provider X concurrently, g_hash_table_lookup races with g_hash_table_remove. Profanity's main thread does not hold any lock when touching providers, so this is unsynchronized.
2. Holds a borrowed AIProvider* for the duration of _curl_exec_and_handle (which calls curl_easy_perform, up to 30s). If the provider gets removed during that window, the hash table's destroy-notify calls ai_provider_unref and the provider may be freed before the worker is done. UAF on provider->name, provider->org_id, etc.

Fix: ai_provider_ref() immediately after lookup (under whatever lock you choose for the providers table), and ai_provider_unref() at thread exit. Same treatment for any other worker that consumes a borrowed AIProvider*.

X5 — org_id is now write-only

acae54305 deleted /ai set org from cmd_defs and from cmd_ai_set. But AIProvider->org_id is still allocated in ai_provider_new, freed in ai_provider_unref, and read by _build_curl_headers to emit the OpenAI-Organization header. There is no way for a user to populate it through the command surface. Either restore /ai set org (or fold into /ai set custom <provider> org <id>), or drop the field entirely along with the OpenAI-Organization header logic.

X6 — Models-fetch error path doesn't reuse _parse_error_response

_curl_exec_and_handle (src/ai/ai_client.c:597-626) for the models endpoint formats HTTP %ld: %s from the raw response->data. The chat path was upgraded in ecb07fd00 to call _parse_error_response first and show the extracted error.message. Inconsistent UX: a 401 from /v1/models shows the raw JSON envelope, the same 401 from /v1/responses shows the human-readable message. Easy fix — same call.

N3, N4 — still open

Round 2 findings unchanged at round 3:

• OpenAI-Organization is still emitted to every provider that has org_id set (now via the new _build_curl_headers helper at src/ai/ai_client.c:585-588).
• cl_ev_send_ai_msg(..., id) still takes an id parameter that the only caller passes as NULL.

🟡 Not addressed (lower priority but worth noting)

• API keys stored in plaintext in ~/.local/share/profanity/profrc — works as designed but the PR description still markets "Privacy" without disclosure. Add a cons_show warning on first /ai set token, or document mode of storage in /help ai. Better: support ${VAR}-style env-var indirection or a separate file path so users can keep keys out of dotfile backups.
• /ai set token openai sk-... lands in profanity command history — easy footgun. Other clients (e.g. psql) suppress \password from history; profanity would benefit from the same for any command that takes a secret.
• Tests still don't exercise the HTTP path, the JSON parser on real responses, prefs_ai_* round-trip, or autocomplete cycling with ≥2 matches. The default-URL test passes only because there are zero mismatches; behavior under realistic responses is unverified.
• g_list_append in ai_session_add_message and _build_json_payload is O(n²) — long histories will slow noticeably. Switch to GQueue or track the tail.

Bottom line

Round 2 closed F16, F17, F18, N1, and N5 cleanly. Round 3 adds real features (model caching, /ai switch, /ai models, default provider/model). But the threading discipline regressed: the same lifetime / cross-thread problems that F11–14 and N1/N2 tried to fix have resurfaced in the new code paths.

Round 3 blockers:

1. N2 — TOCTOU between validate and dispatch still open. Round 2's lock-around-wins_ai_exists only closed half the issue.
2. X1 — non-atomic refcount mutation in cmd_ai_switch regresses F14.
3. X2 — cmd_ai_switch / cmd_ai_clear mutate the live session from the main thread while the worker reads from it. UAF/data race on every concurrent switch+request.
4. X4 — models-fetch worker holds an unrefed borrowed AIProvider* for up to 30s, no lock on the providers table.
5. F2 — Perplexity default and "local OAI server" claim still don't work (hardcoded v1/responses path).

Carryovers from round 2 (still relevant):

• F15 (chat path) — content parser remains strstr-based with minimal escape handling, even though acae54305 shipped a robust parser for the models endpoint.
• N3 — OpenAI-Organization still leaks to all providers.
• N4 — dead id parameter on cl_ev_send_ai_msg.
• X3 — cmd_ai_correct is now dead code.
• X5 — org_id write-only (no command sets it).
• X6 — inconsistent error UX between chat and models paths.
• ci-build.sh block still bundled.

The PR is close to ready on feature scope but the cross-thread story needs another pass. The single safest move would be: one mutex covers all session/provider state, every main-thread cmd_ai_* mutator takes it, the worker takes it for any read of session/provider, and _aiwin_display_* does validate + dispatch as one atomic section under &lock. Half of the round-2/3 fixes are already locks; consolidating them into a coherent policy fixes N2/X2/X4 together.

Fix: either require all session mutations to happen under `&lock` and have the worker `pthread_mutex_lock(&lock)` while reading session state into local copies, or implement a "request in flight" guard that refuses switch/clear until the worker completes. ### X3 — `cmd_ai_correct` is dead code `acae54305` removed `correct` from `CMD_SUBFUNCS` (replaced by `switch`), but the function body still lives at [src/command/cmd_funcs.c:11197-11246](src/command/cmd_funcs.c#L11197-L11246) and the declaration in `cmd_funcs.h` is still exported. Either restore the wiring (and update help text), or delete the function + declaration. As-is, dead code with a stale `'/ai start <provider>/<model>'` message in its error path that no longer matches the new syntax. ### X4 — `_ai_generic_request_thread` holds an unrefed borrow on the provider [src/ai/ai_client.c:632](src/ai/ai_client.c#L632): ```c AIProvider* provider = ai_get_provider(req->provider_name); if (!provider) { ... } ... struct curl_slist* headers = _build_curl_headers(provider, api_key); ... _curl_exec_and_handle(curl, req->request_url, headers, &response, ..., provider, ...); ``` This is the **models-fetch** worker. It: 1. Looks up the provider from the hash table on the worker thread — without `lock`. If the main thread runs `/ai remove provider X` concurrently, `g_hash_table_lookup` races with `g_hash_table_remove`. Profanity's main thread does not hold any lock when touching `providers`, so this is unsynchronized. 2. Holds a **borrowed** `AIProvider*` for the duration of `_curl_exec_and_handle` (which calls `curl_easy_perform`, up to 30s). If the provider gets removed during that window, the hash table's destroy-notify calls `ai_provider_unref` and the provider may be freed before the worker is done. UAF on `provider->name`, `provider->org_id`, etc. Fix: `ai_provider_ref()` immediately after lookup (under whatever lock you choose for the providers table), and `ai_provider_unref()` at thread exit. Same treatment for any other worker that consumes a borrowed `AIProvider*`. ### X5 — `org_id` is now write-only `acae54305` deleted `/ai set org` from `cmd_defs` and from `cmd_ai_set`. But `AIProvider->org_id` is still allocated in `ai_provider_new`, freed in `ai_provider_unref`, and read by `_build_curl_headers` to emit the `OpenAI-Organization` header. There is no way for a user to populate it through the command surface. Either restore `/ai set org` (or fold into `/ai set custom <provider> org <id>`), or drop the field entirely along with the `OpenAI-Organization` header logic. ### X6 — Models-fetch error path doesn't reuse `_parse_error_response` `_curl_exec_and_handle` ([src/ai/ai_client.c:597-626](src/ai/ai_client.c#L597-L626)) for the models endpoint formats `HTTP %ld: %s` from the raw `response->data`. The chat path was upgraded in `ecb07fd00` to call `_parse_error_response` first and show the extracted `error.message`. Inconsistent UX: a 401 from `/v1/models` shows the raw JSON envelope, the same 401 from `/v1/responses` shows the human-readable message. Easy fix — same call. ### N3, N4 — still open Round 2 findings unchanged at round 3: - `OpenAI-Organization` is still emitted to every provider that has `org_id` set (now via the new `_build_curl_headers` helper at [src/ai/ai_client.c:585-588](src/ai/ai_client.c#L585-L588)). - `cl_ev_send_ai_msg(..., id)` still takes an `id` parameter that the only caller passes as `NULL`. ## 🟡 Not addressed (lower priority but worth noting) - **API keys stored in plaintext in `~/.local/share/profanity/profrc`** — works as designed but the PR description still markets "Privacy" without disclosure. Add a `cons_show` warning on first `/ai set token`, or document mode of storage in `/help ai`. Better: support `${VAR}`-style env-var indirection or a separate file path so users can keep keys out of dotfile backups. - **`/ai set token openai sk-...` lands in profanity command history** — easy footgun. Other clients (e.g. `psql`) suppress `\password` from history; profanity would benefit from the same for any command that takes a secret. - **Tests still don't exercise** the HTTP path, the JSON parser on real responses, `prefs_ai_*` round-trip, or autocomplete cycling with ≥2 matches. The default-URL test passes only because there are zero mismatches; behavior under realistic responses is unverified. - **`g_list_append` in `ai_session_add_message` and `_build_json_payload` is O(n²)** — long histories will slow noticeably. Switch to `GQueue` or track the tail. ## Bottom line Round 2 closed F16, F17, F18, N1, and N5 cleanly. Round 3 adds real features (model caching, `/ai switch`, `/ai models`, default provider/model). But the threading discipline regressed: the same lifetime / cross-thread problems that F11–14 and N1/N2 tried to fix have resurfaced in the new code paths. Round 3 blockers: 1. **N2** — TOCTOU between validate and dispatch still open. Round 2's lock-around-`wins_ai_exists` only closed half the issue. 2. **X1** — non-atomic refcount mutation in `cmd_ai_switch` regresses F14. 3. **X2** — `cmd_ai_switch` / `cmd_ai_clear` mutate the live session from the main thread while the worker reads from it. UAF/data race on every concurrent switch+request. 4. **X4** — models-fetch worker holds an unrefed borrowed `AIProvider*` for up to 30s, no lock on the providers table. 5. **F2** — Perplexity default and "local OAI server" claim still don't work (hardcoded `v1/responses` path). Carryovers from round 2 (still relevant): - **F15 (chat path)** — content parser remains strstr-based with minimal escape handling, even though `acae54305` shipped a robust parser for the models endpoint. - **N3** — `OpenAI-Organization` still leaks to all providers. - **N4** — dead `id` parameter on `cl_ev_send_ai_msg`. - **X3** — `cmd_ai_correct` is now dead code. - **X5** — `org_id` write-only (no command sets it). - **X6** — inconsistent error UX between chat and models paths. - `ci-build.sh` block still bundled. The PR is close to ready on feature scope but the cross-thread story needs another pass. The single safest move would be: one mutex covers all session/provider state, every main-thread `cmd_ai_*` mutator takes it, the worker takes it for any read of session/provider, and `_aiwin_display_*` does validate + dispatch as one atomic section under `&lock`. Half of the round-2/3 fixes are already locks; consolidating them into a coherent policy fixes N2/X2/X4 together.

AI feature — findings from writing unit + functional tests

test/ai-coverage e67ae4e7a — test(ai): expand unit and functional coverage for /ai feature

Companion to REVIEW_PR_113.md. Findings below were surfaced while building the test suite for PR 113 (feat/ai HEAD 010b2062a), not by reading the diff. Test counts at the time of this report:

Suite	Total	New	Status
Unit (tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c)	100	+50	all pass in Docker (debian)
Functional Tier A (console only)	15	+15	all pass in Docker
Functional Tier B (Python HTTP stub)	5	+5	all pass in Docker

The new tests live in:

• tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c — parser, escape, autocomplete, session, settings, model-parsing, prefs round-trip.
• tests/functionaltests/test_ai.c — /ai command surface (Tier A).
• tests/functionaltests/test_ai_http.c — full HTTP round-trip via stub (Tier B).
• tests/functionaltests/ai_http_stub.py + ai_http_stub.{c,h} — stub server with five canned-response modes (ok / openai / 401 / 500 / models).

To expose two internal parsers I dropped static from _parse_ai_response → ai_parse_response and _parse_error_response → ai_parse_error_message. Header section in src/ai/ai_client.h labels them "exposed for testing".

🔴 Production correctness bugs surfaced by the tests

T1 — Chat response parser breaks on any whitespace after the JSON colon

This is the smoking-gun confirmation of finding F15 from the PR 113 review.

src/ai/ai_client.c:1207, 1241 and :1297 all do raw strstr searches:

const gchar* text_start = strstr(response_json, "\"text\":\"");
const gchar* content_start = strstr(response_json, "\"content\":\"");
const gchar* message_key  = strstr(error_obj,    "\"message\":\"");

The pattern requires zero whitespace between : and ". Python's json.dumps() defaults to "text": "..." with a space after the colon. Many real-world API providers — including OpenAI's Responses API in some configurations — emit pretty-printed or space-separated JSON.

Reproduction: Tier B test ai_http_prompt_returns_ok initially failed with Failed to parse AI response. even though the stub returned a perfectly valid Responses-API body. The fix was to add separators=(",", ":") to json.dumps in the stub. In production there is no such workaround: the first response that comes through any whitespace-tolerant serializer is silently dropped.

This affects all three hand-rolled parsers: chat-content, error-message, and (separately fixed by a898cb212 for the models endpoint) model-list.

Fix: accept [ \t\n\r]* between key and value in all three parsers, or replace the trio with json-glib. The latter also closes the rest of F15 (\\, \t, \r, \uXXXX decoding still missing for chat-content and error paths).

T2 — /ai start writes "Started AI chat" to a window the user can't see

src/command/cmd_funcs.c:11000-11011 (cmd_ai_start):

ui_focus_win(ai_win);
...
cons_show("Started AI chat: %s/%s", provider_name, model);
cons_show("");

ui_focus_win makes the AI window current. cons_show writes to the console window — which is no longer on screen. So the success line is functionally dead code: it never reaches the user.

The actual user-visible feedback comes from the two win_println(ai_win, ..., "AI Chat: %s/%s", ...) and "Type your message and press Enter..." lines a few lines above, which work as intended.

While debugging the functional test ai_start_with_key_opens_window I had asserted on "Started AI chat: ..." and it never matched — because it never rendered. The test now asserts on "AI Chat: openai/gpt-4" from the WIN_AI title instead.

Fix: drop the cons_show pair, or move it before ui_focus_win if you want the console to retain a history of opened chats.

T3 — /ai models <provider> caches silently and refuses to print what it fetched

src/ai/ai_client.c:975-982 (_models_response_handler):

_parse_and_cache_models(provider, response);
auto_gchar gchar* msg = g_strdup_printf("Cached %d models for provider '%s'. Use ...");
_aiwin_display_response(user_data, msg);

After /ai models openai the user sees:

Cached 38 models for provider 'openai'. Use '/ai start ' to start a chat.

…but no list of what those 38 models are. To see them the user must immediately run /ai models openai --cached. The whole point of an interactive models command is to discover available models — making people run two consecutive commands for that is a UX regression compared to the /ai providers command which is one-shot.

Fix: at the end of _models_response_handler, after the "Cached N models" line, iterate provider->models and cons_show(" %s", ...) each entry. Or unify with cmd_ai_models's --cached branch.

🟠 Findings from PR 113 review confirmed by tests

T4 — org_id is write-only (re-confirms X5)

Tier B tests with custom providers can set provider URL and token, but not organization ID. The command /ai set org was removed in acae54305, yet AIProvider->org_id is still:

• allocated in ai_provider_new,
• freed in ai_provider_unref,
• read by _build_curl_headers to emit OpenAI-Organization: <id> (src/ai/ai_client.c:585-588).

So the field survives and is sent to every provider with org_id != NULL, but nothing on the command surface can populate it. Pure dead-write.

Fix: either restore /ai set org, fold into /ai set custom <p> org <id>, or remove the field + header entirely.

T5 — Models-fetch error path doesn't reuse ai_parse_error_message (re-confirms X6)

src/ai/ai_client.c:617-619 inside _curl_exec_and_handle:

auto_gchar gchar* error_msg = g_strdup_printf("HTTP %ld: %s", http_code,
                                              response->data ? response->data : "Unknown error");

Compare to the chat path which calls ai_parse_error_message first to extract error.message. The asymmetry is user-visible: a 401 from /v1/models dumps the raw JSON envelope; the same 401 from /v1/responses shows the human-readable string.

ai_http_prompt_401_shows_error passes; a hypothetical ai_http_models_fetch_401_shows_error test (not implemented, would be trivial) would show the asymmetry directly.

Fix: in _curl_exec_and_handle, try ai_parse_error_message(response->data) first, fall back to raw body.

🟡 Lower-priority observations

T6 — stbbr_stop() hangs in pthread_join when no client ever connected

Not a profanity bug — a stabber library issue surfaced by AI tests that don't need XMPP.

Stack trace (gdb-attached during 7-minute hang of ai_no_args_shows_help teardown):

Thread 2 "stbr": usleep at server.c:446  (_start_server_cb)
Thread 1 "main": __select → prof_output_regex(...) → ... → stbbr_stop

If profanity never called /connect, stabber's accept-loop thread blocks in accept() forever, and stbbr_stop() joins on it uninterruptibly.

Workaround in tests: ai_init_test() in test_ai.c wraps init_prof_test with a prof_connect() so stabber sees a graceful disconnect at teardown. Selected via custom PROF_FUNC_TEST_AI(...) macro in functionaltests.c.

Upstream fix would be: stbbr_stop() should shutdown(listen_fd, SHUT_RDWR) before the join so accept() returns. Report to whichever fork of stabber is current; if stabber is dead upstream, vendor a fix locally.

T7 — /ai commands tagged CMD_TAG_CHAT but don't require XMPP

Minor design wart: all /ai * entries in src/command/cmd_defs.c carry CMD_TAG_CHAT. They run fine offline (no XMPP connection needed). Auto-discovery tools and /help chat will list AI commands as if they were chat-bound, which is confusing — and the AI client itself has no notion of XMPP state.

Fix: introduce a new tag (CMD_TAG_AI, or pile onto an existing CMD_TAG_UI), or just drop the tag from /ai * entries.

What the tests did not catch

These would require thread-sanitization or carefully timed race conditions, neither of which a cmocka + forkpty harness can reproduce. They remain open from the PR 113 review:

Finding	Why tests miss it
N1 / N2 — TOCTOU in _aiwin_validate	Single-threaded asserts on cumulative PTY buffer; race window is microseconds. Needs Helgrind/TSan.
X1 — non-atomic ref_count++ in cmd_ai_switch	Same. Tests run one command at a time.
X2 — cmd_ai_clear / cmd_ai_switch mutate session while worker reads	Tests don't fire a long-running prompt and /ai switch against it concurrently.
X4 — models-fetch worker holds unrefed AIProvider* for up to 30s	Tests don't /ai remove provider during in-flight fetch.

A follow-up integration sweep with -fsanitize=thread and a deliberately timed race scenario (long-blocking stub response + main-thread mutator) would be needed.

Test-related minor changes shipped alongside

• src/ai/ai_client.h — exposed ai_parse_response / ai_parse_error_message as public for testing (analogous to existing ai_parse_models_from_json).
• tests/functionaltests/proftest.c — TEST_GROUPS bumped from 4 to 5; AI tests live in their own Group 5 to avoid the stabber poisoning observed when mixing with XMPP tests in Group 4.
• Makefile.am — dist_check_DATA = tests/functionaltests/ai_http_stub.py so the Python stub ships in the source tarball.

Bottom line

Three new production bugs (T1–T3), two confirmations of round-3 review findings (T4–T5), one upstream-stabber bug (T6), one taxonomy nit (T7). T1 is the highest-impact: any whitespace-tolerant JSON serializer at the provider end will currently produce silent "Failed to parse" errors that the user must dig out of the debug log to understand.

ref(ai): remove org_id from provider configuration ... 6fe8c370df

The org_id field was removed from AIProvider as it was no longer
populated through the command surface. The /ai set org command was
previously removed, leaving org_id as dead code.

This change removes org_id from:
- AIProvider struct definition
- ai_provider_new() and ai_provider_unref()
- ai_add_provider() API signature
- _build_curl_headers() (OpenAI-Organization header)
- cmd_ai_set() and cmd_ai_providers()
- All unit tests

fix(ai): add mutex to AISession for thread safety ... 9f4621883a

Introduce a pthread mutex to protect all AISession fields from
concurrent access between the main thread and background request
worker.

- Initialize and destroy mutex during session lifecycle
- Lock session state when modifying or reading history, model, and
  provider fields
- Snapshot session state under lock in the request worker thread to
  prevent UAF races during API calls
- Refactor _build_json_payload to accept direct parameters for safe
  usage under lock
- Update command handlers to safely switch provider/model under lock

Fix(ai): protect AI session state from concurrent access races ... a75a06b4a2

cmd_ai_switch() and cmd_ai_clear() mutated session fields (provider_name,
provider, model, api_key, history) on the main thread without coordination,
while _ai_request_thread() read the same fields concurrently in the worker
thread. This caused use-after-free when:

- g_free(session->model) was called between worker's read and g_strdup()
- ai_provider_unref(session->provider) freed the provider struct while
  worker accessed session->provider->api_url
- ai_session_clear_history() freed the history list while worker walked it

Fix:
1. Add pthread_mutex_t lock to AISession struct to protect all session
   fields from concurrent access.

2. Introduce ai_session_switch() public API that atomically switches
   provider, model, and API key under the session lock. This encapsulates
   all session mutations within ai_client.c so cmd_funcs.c never touches
   session fields directly.

3. Have _ai_request_thread() snapshot all session state under the session
   lock before making requests, using local copies for the duration of
   the curl request.

4. Add ai_provider_ref()/ai_provider_unref() around _ai_generic_request_thread()
   to prevent provider UAF during model-fetch requests.

5. Protect ai_session_add_message(), ai_session_clear_history(), and
   ai_session_set_model() with the session lock.

No pthread.h needed in cmd_funcs.c — all locking is encapsulated within
ai_client.c via the public API. No deadlock risk from nested locks.

Files changed:
- src/ai/ai_client.h: Add lock field, ai_session_switch() declaration
- src/ai/ai_client.c: Mutex init/destroy, session mutation protection,
  worker thread snapshot, provider ref management
- src/command/cmd_funcs.c: Use ai_session_switch() API, remove pthread.h

fix(ai): reset provider autocomplete state on search string change ... 1ecaceb59f

When typing /ai start <prefix><tab>, the autocomplete was not properly
handling search string changes. For example, typing "/ai start o<tab>"
would return "openai", but then typing "/ai start p<tab>" would still
return "openai" because the autocomplete state was not reset.

This commit:
- Adds ai_providers_reset_ac() function to reset provider autocomplete
  state, following the same pattern as accounts_reset_all_search()
- Integrates ai_providers_reset_ac() into cmd_ac_reset() for proper
  state cleanup when user presses Ctrl+C or switches contexts

Potential issues in the AI client

Three places in the AI client code that look like they could cause problems. All have small, low-risk fixes if the diagnosis holds up.

Potential issue 1 — Possible deadlock when AI window is closed mid-request

Possible severity: high if reachable — could hang the UI thread.

Location: src/ai/ai_client.c, _aiwin_display_error.

static void
_aiwin_display_error(gpointer user_data, const gchar* error_msg)
{
    pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
    ProfAiWin* aiwin = _aiwin_validate(user_data);
    if (!aiwin) {
        log_warning("[AI-THREAD] Cannot display error: aiwin is invalid or window was closed (msg: %s)", error_msg);
        return;                                  // <-- appears to return with the mutex still held
    }
    aiwin_display_error(aiwin, error_msg);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
}

The global ncurses-coordination mutex is acquired at the top. When the AI window has been closed mid-flight and _aiwin_validate returns NULL, the function appears to return through the if (!aiwin) branch without unlocking. If that's right, the mutex would stay held for the rest of the process lifetime, and any subsequent attempt to take it (e.g. UI rendering on the main thread) could deadlock.

For comparison, the sibling _aiwin_display_response a few lines below handles the same NULL case with an unlock before returning, which is what suggested the asymmetry might be unintentional rather than deliberate.

Suspected reproduction path: send an AI prompt; close the AI window with /wins close ai (or /close) before the response arrives. If the diagnosis is correct, profanity would become unresponsive as soon as the worker thread tries to deliver the error. Have not actually reproduced this — it's inferred from reading the code.

Possible fix (if the analysis holds):

     if (!aiwin) {
         log_warning("[AI-THREAD] Cannot display error: aiwin is invalid or window was closed (msg: %s)", error_msg);
+        pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
         return;
     }

If _aiwin_display_error is meant to be called only with the lock already held by the caller (i.e. acquiring it here would itself be wrong), the picture is different — please correct me.

---

Potential issue 2 — Session mutex may not be destroyed before its storage is freed

Possible severity: low — probably POSIX-undefined behaviour with no observable effect on common platforms; could leak kernel resources slowly.

Location: src/ai/ai_client.c, ai_session_unref.

void
ai_session_unref(AISession* session)
{
    if (!session) return;
    if (!g_atomic_int_dec_and_test(&session->ref_count)) return;

    pthread_mutex_lock(&session->lock);
    g_free(session->provider_name);
    ai_provider_unref(session->provider);
    g_free(session->model);
    g_free(session->api_key);
    /* ... free history ... */
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&session->lock);

    g_free(session);                              // <-- mutex memory freed; destroy never called?
}

Two things I'm not sure about:

1. pthread_mutex_destroy(&session->lock) doesn't appear to be called before g_free(session). POSIX says freeing the storage of a mutex without first destroying it is undefined; in practice glibc just leaks the kernel resource, so the symptom (if any) would be slow. Maybe there's a reason this is fine — initialization mode, or a wrapper elsewhere — that I missed.

2. The lock/unlock pair inside ai_session_unref may be redundant for exclusion: the refcount just hit zero, so by construction no other thread should be holding a reference. It might still be there for memory-ordering, but if not, it could be removed.

Possible fix (if applicable):

-    pthread_mutex_lock(&session->lock);
     g_free(session->provider_name);
     ai_provider_unref(session->provider);
     g_free(session->model);
     g_free(session->api_key);
     /* ... free history ... */
-    pthread_mutex_unlock(&session->lock);
+    pthread_mutex_destroy(&session->lock);

     g_free(session);

---

Potential issue 3 — ai_providers_find may crash on NULL search_str

Possible severity: high if reachable — could SIGSEGV the runtime.

Location: src/ai/ai_client.c, ai_providers_find.

gchar*
ai_providers_find(const char* const search_str, gboolean previous, void* context)
{
    if (!providers_ac) {
        log_debug("[AI-AC] Uninitialized call to ai_providers_find");
        return NULL;
    }

    return autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, search_str, FALSE, previous);
}

An earlier version guarded against a NULL search_str by treating it as the empty string before forwarding to autocomplete_complete:

const char* effective_search = (search_str != NULL) ? search_str : "";

The guard appears to have been dropped. autocomplete_complete does strdup(search_str) on the first attempt — if search_str is NULL, that's strdup(NULL), which is undefined and crashes on glibc inside __strlen_avx2. So passing NULL would likely segfault now where it used to return safely.

Possibly reachable from:

• The existing unit test test_ai_providers_find_null_search_str (passes NULL explicitly to assert previous behaviour) — would presumably crash the test runner instead of returning NULL.
• test_ai_providers_find_cycling (uses NULL for empty-prefix cycling).
• Any future caller that forwards an unparsed user input.

It's not clear whether NULL was meant to remain a documented input or whether the new contract is "callers must pass a non-NULL string". Either is fine, but if it's the latter, the function probably shouldn't crash — g_return_val_if_fail + an early NULL return would be defensive.

Possible fix — either restore the guard, or document the new contract and assert it:

-    return autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, search_str, FALSE, previous);
+    const char* effective_search = (search_str != NULL) ? search_str : "";
+    return autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, effective_search, FALSE, previous);

refactor(ai): remove default command and enforce strict window context ... 277c82fb5d

- Remove `/ai set default-provider` command and related autocomplete logic
- Remove global `wins_get_ai()` window accessor function
- Enforce strict requirement that `/ai model`, `/ai switch`, `/ai models`, and `/ai clear` commands must be executed from within an active AI chat window
- Update `/ai start` to require `<provider>` argument

BREAKING CHANGE: `/ai model`, `/ai switch`, `/ai models`, and `/ai clear` commands now require an active AI window context. The `/ai set default-provider` command has been removed.

feat(ai): persist custom providers to config and move defaults to preferences ... b21d537e80

Fix /ai set provider <name> <url> not persisting across restarts.

- Add prefs_ai_set_provider(), prefs_ai_remove_provider(),
  prefs_ai_get_provider_url(), prefs_ai_list_providers(),
  prefs_free_ai_providers(), and prefs_ai_get_default_provider_url()
  to preferences.h/c for provider persistence.

- Move default provider URL definitions (openai, perplexity) from
  ai_client.c to preferences.c, following the established pattern
  where defaults are returned as fallbacks when no config value exists.

- Modify ai_add_provider() to persist new/updated providers to config.

- Modify ai_remove_provider() to remove provider from config.

- Add internal _ai_add_provider_nopersist() helper for adding default
  providers and loading from config without double-persisting.

- Update ai_client_init() to load custom providers from config on
  startup, allowing users to override defaults or add new ones.

Users now have full control: default providers remain as fallbacks,
user-added providers persist to config, and users can override or
remove defaults freely.

feat(ai): persist default providers to config on first use ... b28b719d11

Fix /ai set provider <name> <url> not persisting across restarts, and
default providers (openai, perplexity) disappearing when user adds a
custom provider.

- Add prefs_ai_set_provider(), prefs_ai_remove_provider(),
  prefs_ai_get_provider_url(), prefs_ai_list_providers(),
  prefs_free_ai_providers() for provider persistence.

- Implement prefs_ai_get_providers() in preferences.c: if no providers
  are configured, write default providers to config and return them.
  This ensures defaults are persisted so users can modify them directly.

- Move default provider URL definitions from ai_client.c to
  preferences.c. ai_client.c no longer knows about specific provider
  names.

- Simplify ai_client_init() to call prefs_ai_get_providers() and
  initialize with whatever it receives.

- ai_add_provider() persists to config; ai_remove_provider() removes
  from config.

Behavior: On first run, default providers are written to config. User
can then modify, remove, or add providers freely and they persist.

Possible issues in AI provider autocomplete

Observations made while writing unit tests against the merged feat/ai HEAD. None of these were reproduced interactively — they're inferences from how the tests behave, so happy to be wrong on any of them.

TL;DR: neither issue is reachable from the current UI today. Both are latent API-hygiene gaps — the function accepts inputs the implementation doesn't tolerate, but no in-tree caller actually feeds those inputs. Probably cheaper to close them now (one localized fix covers both) than to wait for the first direct caller that trips on them — once a new script, plugin, or downstream binding starts calling ai_providers_find directly, the segfault and the cursor leak both become user-visible regressions to chase down after the fact.

A regression test for Issue 1 lives in the source tree (test_ai_providers_find_null_search_str) with its cmocka registration commented out — running it SIGSEGVs the runner. Issue 2 is parked in the lowest-priority backlog and has no in-suite regression test.

Potential issue 1 — ai_providers_find(NULL, ...) appears to SIGSEGV

Possible severity: high if reachable — runtime crash.

Suspected trace:

ai_providers_find(NULL, ...)
  -> autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, NULL, FALSE, FALSE)        [src/ai/ai_client.c]
       if (!ac->last_found):                                         [src/tools/autocomplete.c:258]
         ac->search_str = g_strdup(NULL);     /* -> NULL (g_strdup is NULL-safe) */
         _search(ac, ac->items, FALSE, NEXT);
           g_str_to_ascii(ac->search_str /*=NULL*/, NULL);            [src/tools/autocomplete.c:399]
             -> SIGSEGV inside libglib's __strlen_avx2

g_strdup is NULL-safe and returns NULL, but that NULL flows downstream into g_str_to_ascii(NULL, NULL), which is undefined and crashes on glibc.

Reachability:

• Production paths: not reachable today. cmd_ac.c's _autocomplete_param_common builds prefix via malloc(inp_len + 1) and forwards a non-NULL substring of input — there's no path where the autocomplete machinery passes NULL to ai_providers_find.
• Direct callers (tests, future API users, scripts): reachable. The public signature gchar* ai_providers_find(const char* const search_str, gboolean previous, void* context) doesn't document a non-NULL requirement, and the empty-string path (ai_providers_find("", ...)) already does the "give me anything" job — it's plausible someone reads the header and assumes NULL is a synonym.

A regression-style test exists in tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c (test_ai_providers_find_null_search_str) but its registration in tests/unittests/unittests.c is commented out — running it crashes the cmocka runner mid-suite and prevents the rest of the suite from reporting. Re-enable once the NULL path is guarded.

Possible fix (one of):

• In ai_providers_find: guard the public entry so NULL maps to "" before forwarding:

  const char* effective_search = (search_str != NULL) ? search_str : "";
  return autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, effective_search, FALSE, previous);
  

• Or in autocomplete_complete / _search: early-return NULL on NULL search_str. Defensive but a wider change.
• Or document the non-NULL contract in the header and add a g_return_val_if_fail(search_str != NULL, NULL) at entry — converts UB into a graceful NULL return + GLib warning.

---

Potential issue 2 — cycling cursor seems to leak across prefix changes

Status: out of scope for this PR — to be parked in the lowest-priority backlog. Not reachable from the UI today; only matters when/if a direct API caller appears. No in-suite regression test.

Possible severity: low in practice — UX guarded by input-loop reset; only exposed via direct API use. Same shape as Issue 1.

The pattern:

1. Call ai_providers_find(<prefix A>, ...) one or more times → cursor lands somewhere mid-list.
2. Call ai_providers_find(<prefix B>, ...) → expected to restart from B's first match.
3. Observed: the new search_str is silently dropped because autocomplete_complete()'s "subsequent search attempt" branch keeps using ac->search_str cached from the first call. The leftover cursor advances forward in the list, ignoring the new prefix.

Reachability:

Two paths can reach ai_providers_find:

• Input loop (interactive): _inp_rl_getc → _inp_edited(ch) → cmd_ac_reset() → ai_providers_reset_ac() fires on every backspace, ctrl-w, enter, and every printable character. Tab itself is not "edited" and does not reset. The result:

  • Between two consecutive Tab presses on the same buffer: cursor intentionally preserved so subsequent Tab cycles to the next match — works as designed.
  • Whenever the user types a character to change the prefix: cmd_ac_reset fires → cursor wiped → next Tab starts from a clean slate.
  • There is no UI path that ends up calling ai_providers_find with a different prefix without an intervening reset.

• Direct API callers (tests, future scripted clients): no reset between calls unless caller explicitly invokes ai_providers_reset_ac().

So in current production this is not user-reachable. The behaviour matters only as API hygiene — same posture as Issue 1.

Possible fix (one of):

Option A (preferred) — localized inside ai_providers_find

About 10 lines, contained to src/ai/ai_client.c, no behavioural impact on other autocomplete consumers. Single PR, single reviewer. Same patch covers Issue 1 if combined with the NULL→"" mapping.

static gchar* providers_ac_last_search = NULL;
...
const char* effective = search_str ? search_str : "";
if (g_strcmp0(providers_ac_last_search, effective) != 0) {
    autocomplete_reset(providers_ac);
    g_free(providers_ac_last_search);
    providers_ac_last_search = g_strdup(effective);
}
return autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, effective, FALSE, previous);

Don't forget to free providers_ac_last_search in ai_client_shutdown.

Option B (not recommended in this PR) — push detection into autocomplete_complete

The code change itself is small (compare ac->search_str against new search_str and reset cursor on difference), but the semantic risk is high and affects every command that uses the autocomplete library.

The current "subsequent search ignores new search_str" semantics is what makes Tab-Tab cycling work everywhere:

• Tab 1: line is /connect al<tab> → autocomplete_complete(ac, "al", ...) returns alice. Line becomes /connect alice. Cursor stored.
• Tab 2: line is /connect alice<tab> → autocomplete_complete(ac, "alice", ...). Current behaviour ignores the new prefix and walks forward from the cached "al" cursor → returns alex. Cycling works.

A naive "reset on prefix change" in autocomplete_complete would, on Tab 2, see "al" != "alice", reset, and return alice again. Tab-cycling would silently break in roughly every command (/connect, /msg, /join, the MUC roster, OMEMO fingerprints, plugin commands…).

To preserve cycling, Option B has to be smarter — for example, treat the new search_str as a "still the same query" when it's a known autocomplete result of the previous one (heuristic: g_str_has_prefix(new, old) && new is in ac->items). That's non-trivial, requires regression-testing every command that drives the AC library, and is much wider than this PR.

In short: Option B is a multi-day refactor with broad blast radius. Option A is a half-hour patch contained to src/ai/.

The existing cmd_ac_reset hook keeps working either way; Option A also leaves the input-loop integration untouched.

Summary

#	Probable severity (today)	Production reachability	In-suite test
1 — NULL search_str SIGSEGV	Low in current build, high latent	Unreachable from cmd_ac.c (always passes a malloc'd substring). Reachable from any direct caller / future API user.	test_ai_providers_find_null_search_str present in source, registration commented out (crashes the runner).
2 — cursor leak across prefix changes	Low in practice	Unreachable from the UI input loop (every printable character fires cmd_ac_reset). Reachable from direct API callers.	None — backlog-only.

Issue 2 disposition: out of scope for the current PR — file under lowest-priority backlog. No user-visible impact today; revisit if a direct API caller surfaces.

Both look like the same shape: the public ai_providers_find() accepts inputs the implementation doesn't tolerate, but the only existing in-tree caller never actually feeds it those inputs. The single-function fix sketched under Issue 2 (*_last_search cache + NULL→"" mapping) addresses both at once.

Treat these as observations from a code read plus failing-test signal; pleased to be corrected if either is a deliberate design choice.

# Possible issues in AI provider autocomplete Observations made while writing unit tests against the merged `feat/ai` HEAD. None of these were reproduced interactively — they're inferences from how the tests behave, so happy to be wrong on any of them. **TL;DR**: neither issue is reachable from the current UI today. Both are latent API-hygiene gaps — the function accepts inputs the implementation doesn't tolerate, but no in-tree caller actually feeds those inputs. Probably cheaper to close them now (one localized fix covers both) than to wait for the first direct caller that trips on them — once a new script, plugin, or downstream binding starts calling `ai_providers_find` directly, the segfault and the cursor leak both become user-visible regressions to chase down after the fact. A regression test for Issue 1 lives in the source tree (`test_ai_providers_find_null_search_str`) with its cmocka registration commented out — running it SIGSEGVs the runner. Issue 2 is parked in the lowest-priority backlog and has no in-suite regression test. ## Potential issue 1 — `ai_providers_find(NULL, ...)` appears to SIGSEGV **Possible severity**: high if reachable — runtime crash. **Suspected trace**: ``` ai_providers_find(NULL, ...) -> autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, NULL, FALSE, FALSE) [src/ai/ai_client.c] if (!ac->last_found): [src/tools/autocomplete.c:258] ac->search_str = g_strdup(NULL); /* -> NULL (g_strdup is NULL-safe) */ _search(ac, ac->items, FALSE, NEXT); g_str_to_ascii(ac->search_str /*=NULL*/, NULL); [src/tools/autocomplete.c:399] -> SIGSEGV inside libglib's __strlen_avx2 ``` `g_strdup` is NULL-safe and returns NULL, but that NULL flows downstream into `g_str_to_ascii(NULL, NULL)`, which is undefined and crashes on glibc. **Reachability**: - **Production paths**: not reachable today. `cmd_ac.c`'s `_autocomplete_param_common` builds `prefix` via `malloc(inp_len + 1)` and forwards a non-NULL substring of `input` — there's no path where the autocomplete machinery passes NULL to `ai_providers_find`. - **Direct callers (tests, future API users, scripts)**: reachable. The public signature `gchar* ai_providers_find(const char* const search_str, gboolean previous, void* context)` doesn't document a non-NULL requirement, and the empty-string path (`ai_providers_find("", ...)`) already does the "give me anything" job — it's plausible someone reads the header and assumes NULL is a synonym. A regression-style test exists in [tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c](tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c) (`test_ai_providers_find_null_search_str`) but its registration in [tests/unittests/unittests.c](tests/unittests/unittests.c) is commented out — running it crashes the cmocka runner mid-suite and prevents the rest of the suite from reporting. Re-enable once the NULL path is guarded. **Possible fix** (one of): - In `ai_providers_find`: guard the public entry so NULL maps to `""` before forwarding: ```c const char* effective_search = (search_str != NULL) ? search_str : ""; return autocomplete_complete(providers_ac, effective_search, FALSE, previous); ``` - Or in `autocomplete_complete` / `_search`: early-return NULL on NULL `search_str`. Defensive but a wider change. - Or document the non-NULL contract in the header and add a `g_return_val_if_fail(search_str != NULL, NULL)` at entry — converts UB into a graceful NULL return + GLib warning. --- ## Potential issue 2 — cycling cursor seems to leak across prefix changes **Status**: out of scope for this PR — to be parked in the lowest-priority backlog. Not reachable from the UI today; only matters when/if a direct API caller appears. No in-suite regression test. **Possible severity**: low in practice — UX guarded by input-loop reset; only exposed via direct API use. Same shape as Issue 1. The pattern: 1. Call `ai_providers_find(<prefix A>, ...)` one or more times → cursor lands somewhere mid-list. 2. Call `ai_providers_find(<prefix B>, ...)` → expected to restart from B's first match. 3. Observed: the new `search_str` is silently dropped because `autocomplete_complete()`'s "subsequent search attempt" branch keeps using `ac->search_str` cached from the first call. The leftover cursor advances forward in the list, ignoring the new prefix. **Reachability**: Two paths can reach `ai_providers_find`: - **Input loop (interactive)**: `_inp_rl_getc` → `_inp_edited(ch)` → `cmd_ac_reset()` → `ai_providers_reset_ac()` fires on every backspace, ctrl-w, enter, and **every printable character**. Tab itself is not "edited" and does not reset. The result: - Between two consecutive Tab presses on the same buffer: cursor intentionally preserved so subsequent Tab cycles to the next match — works as designed. - Whenever the user types a character to change the prefix: cmd_ac_reset fires → cursor wiped → next Tab starts from a clean slate. - There is no UI path that ends up calling `ai_providers_find` with a different prefix without an intervening reset. - **Direct API callers (tests, future scripted clients)**: no reset between calls unless caller explicitly invokes `ai_providers_reset_ac()`. So in current production this is **not user-reachable**. The behaviour matters only as API hygiene — same posture as Issue 1. **Possible fix** (one of): ### Option A (preferred) — localized inside `ai_providers_find` About 10 lines, contained to `src/ai/ai_client.c`, no behavioural impact on other autocomplete consumers.

test(ai): expand unit and functional coverage for /ai feature ... d676f3b087

Unit tests (tests/unittests/test_ai_client.c): +50 cases on top of the
existing 50 — total 100. Covers:
  - chat response parser (ai_parse_response): OpenAI content + Perplexity
    text formats, escape decoding, empty/null/missing inputs, format-string
    safety, multiline content
  - error envelope parser (ai_parse_error_message): standard envelope,
    nested escapes, missing fields, null/empty
  - extended JSON escape: \b, \f, \r, all-specials, UTF-8 pass-through
  - provider autocomplete cycling with >=2 matches and wrap-around
  - session edge cases: NULL args, 100-message order preservation,
    set_model(NULL), ref/unref(NULL)
  - provider edge cases: get/remove with NULL, double-remove, survival
    via session ref after ai_remove_provider
  - settings: multi-key independence, missing key, cross-provider
    isolation
  - model parsing edges: data not array, empty data, "id" outside data,
    multiple models
  - prefs round-trip: set token -> shutdown -> init -> token reloaded
    from disk (uses load_preferences fixture)

Functional tests:
  - Console only (test_ai.c): 15 cases for the /ai command surface that
    don't need HTTP. Covers /ai help, providers list, set provider/token,
    start with/without key/unknown provider, clear, remove, default
    provider/model, switch without window, bad subcommand.

Infrastructure:
  - TEST_GROUPS bumped to 5 in proftest.c; AI tests live in their own
    Group 5 because mixing them with stabber-driven tests in Group 4
    poisoned stbbr_stop() teardown.
  - PROF_FUNC_TEST_AI macro in functionaltests.c registers AI tests
    with ai_init_test() which wraps init_prof_test with a prof_connect()
    so stabber sees a graceful disconnect at teardown.

Source-level changes to enable testing:
  - src/ai/ai_client.{c,h}: dropped 'static' from _parse_ai_response
    (renamed ai_parse_response) and _parse_error_response (renamed
    ai_parse_error_message); declared under a "Parsing helpers (exposed
    for testing)" section. Same approach as ai_parse_models_from_json.

Results in Docker (cproof-debian image):
  - 595/595 unit tests pass
  - 15/15 AI functional tests pass (Group 5)

test(ai): autocomplete tests — 5 expected failures documenting real bugs ... befdd0ba10

Adds 10 tests for ai_models_find and additional edge cases on
ai_providers_find. 5 pass as sanity; 5 fail intentionally, documenting
two distinct bugs in the autocomplete integration:

BUG A — ai_models_find cycling is broken
  src/ai/ai_client.c ai_models_find() allocates a fresh Autocomplete on
  every call and frees it before returning. The Autocomplete's last_found
  cursor is therefore never persisted, so repeated calls with the same
  prefix always return the first match. Tab+Tab+Tab cannot reach models
  2, 3, ...
  Caught by:
    - test_ai_models_find_cycles_through_matches
    - test_ai_models_find_null_search_cycles_all

BUG B — providers_ac is never reset between user input cycles
  src/ai/ai_client.c keeps the static providers_ac AC, but
  src/command/cmd_ac.c's all_acs[] (which cmd_ac_reset() iterates) does
  not include &providers_ac. So when the input loop fires the global
  reset, providers_ac retains its last_found cursor from the previous
  prefix.
  Result: tab-completing a new prefix continues from the old cursor
  position instead of restarting at the head of the new prefix's matches.
  A provider added mid-session may also be missed depending on cursor
  position.
  Caught by:
    - test_ai_providers_find_state_resets_on_prefix_change
    - test_ai_providers_find_empty_then_prefix
    - test_ai_providers_find_after_add_includes_new

Sanity (5 passing):
  - test_ai_models_find_no_models_returns_null
  - test_ai_models_find_returns_match_for_prefix
  - test_ai_models_find_no_match_returns_null
  - test_ai_models_find_previous_direction
  - test_ai_providers_find_after_remove_skips_removed

The failing tests are checked in as-is — they go green when the bugs
are fixed. See PR description for suggested fixes.

test(ai): refactor coverage to be defaults-agnostic post feat/ai merge ... 65c6012677

Self-setup providers in tests instead of relying on hardcoded openai/perplexity
defaults. Multi-provider tests now use distinct URLs per provider; functional
tests check for http/https URL presence rather than specific provider names.

Drop ai_models_find tests (function removed upstream in feat/ai). Replace with
reset-hook + persistence coverage: providers_reset_ac restart cycle, provider
add/remove round-trip across init, model cache round-trip across init.

Keep three autocomplete prefix-change tests red in-suite (documented as latent
API-hygiene gap, unreachable from UI today). NULL-search test body retained
but registration commented out — currently SIGSEGVs the cmocka runner.

Add stub_xmpp connection_create_stanza_id to satisfy new cmd_funcs.c call site.

fix(ai): persistence and command-output fixes ... de2d21a0ac

- Persist per-provider default model in [ai] prefs (set/get/remove
  helpers, load on init, clear with provider removal). Previously
  /ai set default-model only updated runtime state.

- Stop re-seeding openai/perplexity into [ai] every time the configured
  provider list is empty. The defaults are now seeded once, guarded by
  a "defaults_initialized" sentinel, so removing every provider does
  not silently restore them.

- /ai providers (no arg) now lists the configured providers with key
  status, instead of the hardcoded openai/perplexity blurb.

- /ai models <provider> (fresh fetch) prints the model names it cached,
  not just a count. Previously the user had to follow up with --cached
  to actually see them.

- /ai remove provider now also clears the persisted default model,
  token, and cached model list, leaving no orphan keys in [ai].

- Drop dead ai_models_find declaration from ai_client.h (no
  implementation in this tree).

refactor(ai): unify response and error JSON parsing ... 659b9d77df

Both the chat response parser and the error envelope parser were doing
their own ad-hoc strstr scans and inline unescape loops, with different
sets of supported escape sequences (chat: \" \n; error: \" \n \\ \t).
Models endpoint errors didn't try to extract error.message at all and
surfaced raw response bodies to the user — inconsistent with the chat
path which already did parse them.

Consolidate around two helpers:

  _json_unescape_substring: decode \" \\ \/ \n \t \r \b \f into a fresh
    buffer; pass \uXXXX through verbatim (out of scope here).

  _extract_json_string: locate "field":"..." via _find_json_field
    (already handles JSON whitespace around the colon) and return the
    unescaped value, treating any \X inside the string body as opaque
    so embedded \" is never misread as the closing quote.

_parse_ai_response and _parse_error_response now each collapse to a
small wrapper around these helpers. Wire _parse_error_response into the
shared _curl_exec_and_handle 4xx branch so models requests also surface
the provider's error.message instead of the raw body.

refactor(ai): consolidate per-provider prefs into [ai/<name>] sections ... 5104de40d3

Per-provider state used to live as flat keys in [ai] with naming
conventions to avoid collisions: <name>_url, <name>_models,
<name>_default_model, and the bare <name> for the API token. Custom
settings (/ai set custom) never made it to disk at all — they only
lived in the runtime AIProvider.settings hash table and were lost on
restart.

Move every per-provider field into a [ai/<name>] subsection of the
keyfile with stable key names:

  [ai/openai]
  url=https://api.openai.com/
  key=sk-...
  default_model=gpt-4
  models=gpt-4;gpt-3.5-turbo
  setting.tools=enabled

[ai] now keeps only the global "defaults_initialized" sentinel.

Migration runs once in _prefs_load: collect provider names from the
old <name>_url keys, then move url/models/default_model/token of each
provider into its subsection and drop the flat keys. Idempotent on
subsequent loads.

prefs_ai_* API surface kept compatible; storage backend changes only.
Adds:
  prefs_ai_remove_section()    — wipe whole subsection in one call
  prefs_ai_{set,get,remove,list}_setting() — persist custom settings

ai_client wiring:
- ai_set_provider_setting now writes to prefs as well as the runtime
  hash table; ai_client_init loads them back on startup.
- ai_remove_provider replaces four prefs_ai_remove_* calls with a
  single prefs_ai_remove_section.

Merge branch 'test/ai-coverage-unit-only' into fix/ai-followups ... 0847394d34

Pull in the defaults-agnostic unit and functional test coverage so this
branch carries both the source fixes and the tests that exercise them.

fix(ai): keep in-memory defaults seeded when prefs is unavailable ... 43d557f2dc

The defaults_initialized sentinel only makes sense when prefs is loaded.
Three unit tests use ai_client_setup, which calls ai_client_init without
loading prefs — prefs_ai_get_providers was bailing on the seeding branch
because of the prefs NULL check, leaving ai_client with zero providers
and breaking tests that expect at least one default.

Decouple the two concerns:
- Always seed openai/perplexity into the in-memory result list when the
  configured set is empty and we haven't already seeded.
- Only persist the seeded providers and write the defaults_initialized
  flag when prefs is actually available.

In production this is identical to the previous behaviour; in tests
without prefs the old "always-return-defaults" semantics is preserved
without a persistence side effect.

Also reflow ai_client.c JSON escape switch and HTTP-error ternary to
satisfy clang-format 18 (CI checks).

tests(ai_client): remove redundant ai_provider_unref() before ai_client_shutdown() ... 360c5fb0a9

The tests called ai_provider_unref(provider) on providers owned by the
hash table, then called ai_client_shutdown() which destroys the hash
table and calls ai_provider_unref() again on the same dangling pointer.
This caused Invalid read of size 4 at ai_client.c:302.

Fix by removing the redundant unref calls - ai_client_shutdown() cleans
up all providers in the hash table automatically.
