[3.6.2]

The assistant had no idea it was ENTITY. The default system prompt said only that it was "a helpful AI assistant running fully offline" - true, but not enough to stop a small model from answering identity questions as whatever base persona it was trained on, or from guessing at capabilities (web search, image generation) it does not have. Neither is hypothetical: every model in the catalog is text-only, and ai_chat.cpp has no image pipeline, no network call in the inference path.

Changed

  • Default system prompt (Settings.kt). Now states plainly what ENTITY is (offline, Arm, on-device), what it structurally cannot do (browse, look up real-time information, generate images), and to say so instead of guessing when asked. Existing users who have not edited their system prompt keep the old default until they reset it - this only changes what a fresh install or a reset-to-default gets. Bench has no chat surface, so this is chat-only.
