What's New
In VS Code, the BYOAI assistants now fetch the JVD corpus automatically and answer with citations, instead of asking the user to confirm a fetch or offering paste / "limited mode" fallbacks.
Why
Those fallbacks exist for AI clients that can't browse. In VS Code the assistant always has a live fetch tool, so the "can you fetch? — say go" prompt was pointless friction: if the prompt is running here, there is web access.
Details
portal/scripts/generate-snips.mjs— the synthesized VS Code.prompt.mdnow carries a short "VS Code runtime" note above the inlined guide: it states the fetch tool is available, tells the assistant to fetch the corpus immediately and silently, and scopes the inlined no-web fallbacks (paste / limited mode / confirm-first) as not applicable here. Positive framing, one scoping sentence — not a list of "don'ts."SYSTEM_PROMPT.mdsources and the GPT/Claude-byoai-prompt.txtare untouched, so other clients keep their fallbacks.portal/public/byoai/*/*.prompt.md— regenerated (all 17).portal/src/data/snips.json— regeneration timestamp.Testing
bun run build— clean..prompt.md, directly under the frontmatter.Notes
Behavioral verification (does the model now fetch without asking) is a live check in VS Code after merge + reinstall. If hedging persists, the fallback is to strip the no-web branches from the VS Code build directly.
