Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Courses can now specify a Pixelbot model, with a default model used when none is configured.
    • Chat and document metadata generation now use each course’s configured AI credentials and model.
    • Course configuration requests and responses include the optional Pixelbot model setting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Missing or invalid AI credentials now produce clear processing errors.
    • Document uploads continue successfully with filename-based metadata when AI generation is unavailable.
    • Added coverage for model selection, credential handling, and fallback behavior.

Walkthrough

The PR adds encrypted, course-scoped OpenAI configuration and an optional Pixelbot model. Metadata uploads and RAG chat requests use these values, handle configuration failures, and retain fallback behavior where applicable.

Changes

Course-scoped LLM integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Course model and API contract
lib/cadet/courses/course.ex, priv/repo/migrations/..., lib/cadet_web/controllers/courses_controller.ex, lib/cadet_web/views/courses_view.ex
Courses store nullable pixelbot_model values. The migration, Swagger schemas, and course view expose the field.
LLM configuration and chatbot clients
lib/cadet/chatbot/course_llm.ex, lib/cadet/chatbot/metadata_generator.ex, lib/cadet/chatbot/rag_pipeline.ex, test/cadet/chatbot/*
CourseLlm.config/1 decrypts course API keys and builds OpenAI.Config. Metadata and RAG calls pass the configuration to OpenAI.
Upload metadata generation
lib/cadet_web/admin_controllers/admin_pixelbot_documents_controller.ex, test/cadet_web/admin_controllers/*
Uploads use course configuration and pixelbot_model. Missing configuration and generation failures retain filename-based fallback metadata.
RAG chat configuration flow
lib/cadet_web/controllers/rag_chat_controller.ex, test/cadet_web/controllers/rag_chat_controller_test.exs
RAG chat rejects missing or invalid keys, uses the course Pixelbot model, and passes the resolved configuration to routing and answer calls.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2cc94

The change routes chatbot requests through a course-specific model, but a blank stored model can be sent to the provider instead of using the default, causing affected requests to fail with an opaque provider error. This is a bounded correctness risk that should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

These lines repeat the key-encryption and Pixel-configuration block from setup_rag_course at lines 26-36. Extract one helper, for example configure_pixel_course(course), and call it from both places. setup_rag_course then adds the documents and the conversation.

Use a model value that differs from the controller default.

The test sets pixelbot_model: "gpt-4o", which equals the fallback in rag_chat_controller.ex line 173. If a change dropped course.pixelbot_model and kept only the default, this test would still pass. Choose a distinct value so the assertion proves the controller reads pixelbot_model.

Treat a blank pixelbot_model as unset.

|| only replaces nil or false. If an administrator saves pixelbot_model as "", the controller sends model: "" to OpenAI, and the request fails with an opaque provider error. This controller already guards "" for the prompt columns at lines 69-70, so blank text values are a realistic stored state.

🛠️ Proposed guard
-      model: course.pixelbot_model || "gpt-4o",
+      model: pixelbot_model(course),

Add the helper near the other private helpers:

defp pixelbot_model(%Course{pixelbot_model: model}) when is_binary(model) do
  case String.trim(model) do
    "" -> "gpt-4o"
    trimmed -> trimmed
  end
end

defp pixelbot_model(_course), do: "gpt-4o"

Assert the course-scoped model and configuration.

The success-path mock accepts _model and _config without checking their values. The test can pass if the controller ignores course.pixelbot_model or drops the result from CourseLlm.config/1. Set a non-default pixelbot_model and match both arguments in the callback.
