Prompt quality (Ask ACE / Agent)

ACE keeps Run/Debug Ask ACE replies on-topic and avoids ecommerce/auth digressions.

Ask ACE prompts

Both prompts forbid inventing auth/seller/ecommerce features.

Follow-up offers

• Success → arguments / logging / breakpoint
• Failure → apply a minimal patch + F5 again
• General Agent/Ask → tied to the open file / current topic (no hard-coded seller/auth tips)

Extra guards

• Ask ACE uses a fresh chat, empty history, and minimal context (target file only)
• Off-topic auth/seller paragraphs are stripped from Ask ACE replies when detected
• Chat shows a short Ask ACE label (not the raw instruction tags)
• Success Ask ACE does not show “Switch to Agent to apply changes”

Quick test

1. Open desktop-ide/samples/phase3-run-debug/hello.js → F5 → Ask ACE
   Pass: short success summary, no auth/sellers talk
   Pass: user bubble like Ask ACE to summarize this successful run · hello.js
   Pass: no “Switch to Agent” CTA footer
2. Open fail-on-purpose.js → F5 → Ask ACE
   Pass: quotes the error, proposes a fix for that file only
3. Agent rename in greet.js
   Pass: reply stays about the rename (no random auth checklist)
