Add AI-driven question link suggestions - #5150
Conversation
This is the backend for the Add Question Link modal. It runs 5 methods to find suggested question links: llm_broad LLM over the full question pool, high recall llm_strict LLM over the full pool, genuine causal influence only llm_similar_only LLM (strict) over an embedding shortlist similar the existing Similar Questions signal community_link an AggregateCoherenceLink already exists for the pair A daily batch refreshes the two free signals for every eligible question and runs the three LLM methods on stale targets (most popular first, staleness threshold scales with popularity) until a daily USD budget is exhausted. The modal reads from a new endpoint (GET /api/coherence/question/<id>/suggested-links/) and falls back to the existing similar-questions list when the feature is disabled (SUGGESTIONS_AI_ENABLED, default off).

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds a daily AI batch and a new suggestion path, but the current implementation can exceed the configured daily spend cap and lose spend accounting during overlapping runs. It can also split aggregate-link votes for reversed endpoints and leave the modal empty or show self-suggestions in edge cases. These are concrete production-cost and correctness risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

This is the backend for the Add Question Link modal.
A daily batch runs two free methods for every eligible question and runs three LLM methods on questions that haven't had question links computed for them for a while (most popular first, staleness threshold scales with popularity) until a daily USD budget is exhausted.
The modal reads from a new GET endpoint
/api/coherence/question/<id>/suggested-links/and falls back to the existing similar-questions list when the feature is disabled (SUGGESTIONS_AI_ENABLED, default off).env variables to add:
SUGGESTIONS_AI_ENABLED(default false) set this totrueto enable the featureSUGGESTIONS_LIMIT_USD_DAILY(default 5) you can leave as-is if $150/mo seems like a reasonable budget for the feature.
