User decision after the Groq reliability fix (previous PR): prioritize
Groq's smallest/fastest model, llama-3.1-8b-instant, over gpt-oss-120b —
it's long out of preview and has historically the best free-tier
availability, at the cost of gpt-oss-120b's better Turkish/Kurdish
fluency (which is why it was chosen originally). Model order is now
llama-3.1-8b-instant -> gpt-oss-120b -> llama-3.3-70b-versatile before
the (currently uncredited) Anthropic fallback.
Also fixed a real UX complaint: asking about the Mining Simulation made
the model repeat "this isn't real mining / it's just an estimate" in
nearly every paragraph. Added an explicit instruction to state that once,
briefly, near the start of the answer, and not repeat it — verified live,
the disclaimer now appears once per response instead of several times.
The AI assistant (both @DKSKurdistanBot on Telegram and the news.pex.mom
"ask" widget) was failing to answer most questions while occasionally
succeeding — reported as "only answers about pez mining, says it doesn't
know anything else." Root cause was NOT a knowledge-base gap (the full
whitepaper/wallet/mining/book knowledge was present in both functions all
along) — it was Groq's openai/gpt-oss-120b model returning intermittent
errors (429/5xx, one raw 502) under real load, confirmed live by hitting
the same endpoint repeatedly with trivial questions ("merhaba") and
getting a ~50% failure rate even 15s+ apart (ruling out our own per-IP
rate limiter). The Anthropic fallback couldn't rescue these failures
because that key has no credit.
Fix: retry each Groq call up to 2x with backoff, and fall back to
llama-3.3-70b-versatile (the model this used before switching to
gpt-oss-120b, still free on Groq, not observed to have the same
instability) before ever reaching the Anthropic branch. Verified live
after deploying: failure rate dropped from ~50% to under ~20% across
repeated real test questions.
Also fixed a real (latent, not currently triggered since both keys happen
to be set) bug in telegram-bot: handleAIChat had an early
`if (!ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) return` guard that predates Groq being added as
primary provider — if Anthropic's key were ever removed, this would have
skipped Groq entirely despite Groq being the intended primary. Changed to
only bail if BOTH keys are missing.
Separately: this repo's git history had drifted significantly behind what
was actually deployed — main's checked-in system prompt was missing the
Trust-Score-increase guidance, the full Pezkuwi Wallet feature list, the
Mining Simulation explanation, and the entire "Bulut Ulusu" book section,
none of which showed up in any diff because they'd apparently only ever
been pushed via `supabase functions deploy`, never committed. Discovered
while resolving a merge conflict against origin/main and finding the
"upstream" side of these functions had no Groq support at all — Claude-only,
an older design than what's live. This commit's content was reconciled by
downloading the actual currently-deployed function bodies from Supabase's
Management API and using them as the source of truth, with the Groq
retry/fallback fix layered on top — so git now matches reality.
