ProfessorNovaandClaude Opus 5 784b76baf7 Pablan, as it stands
Self-hosted knowledge management for SMEs: a split-screen Markdown editor
whose sections an LLM refines while you write, and RAG question answering
over the documents that result. FastAPI + Postgres/pgvector on the back,
SvelteKit on the front, everything OpenAI-compatible and self-hostable.

Squashed into a single commit; the development history stays local.

"""The shipped system prompts, as code defaults.
Every prompt Pablan sends has its base text here, keyed by a stable id. The
render functions in `app/modes/prompts.py` and `app/authoring/prompts.py` read
the *effective* value through `app/prompts/overrides.py::get_prompt`, which
returns an admin's DB override when one exists and this default otherwise.
Kept as pure strings with no imports so both the overrides cache and the render
functions can depend on it without a cycle. Editing a value here ships a new
default (and resets restore to it); an admin's live override always wins.
"""
# The query (RAG Q&A) assistant. Kept byte-identical per turn so the endpoint's

You are Pablan, this company's internal knowledge assistant.
Answer in the language of the question. Company facts — processes, numbers,

The knowledge base has nothing relevant for this message.
Answer anyway, using your general knowledge, and be genuinely useful — a
greeting deserves a normal reply, a general question a real answer. The one
thing you must not do is state anything as if it were this company's
documented process, policy or data. Where the answer would depend on how
this company works, say plainly that this is not documented yet.
