commands::feedback

Where you are: Architecture map → Tauri runtime → Commands → Feedback

Plain English summary. Phase 2: thumbs + correction capture on AI-generated output (microsteps from a task decomposition, task lines extracted from a transcript, or LLM cleanup). The captured rows feed a few-shot loop: subsequent prompts are conditioned on the user's preferred style by injecting the (input, preferred-output) pairs as exemplars.

At a glance

• Path: src-tauri/src/commands/feedback.rs.
• LOC: 110.
• Tauri commands exposed:
  • record_feedback(state, input: RecordFeedbackInput) -> Result<i64, String> — returns the new row id.
  • list_feedback_examples_cmd(state, target_type, limit, min_rating, profile_id) -> Result<Vec<FeedbackDto>, String>.
• Events emitted: none.
• Depends on: magnotia_storage::{record_feedback, list_feedback_examples, FeedbackRow, FeedbackTargetType, RecordFeedbackParams}.
• Called from frontend at: dictation result panel (thumb up/down + correction-text on cleanup); Tasks page (thumb on extracted tasks and decomposed microsteps).

What's in here

RecordFeedbackInput (src-tauri/src/commands/feedback.rs:15)

Frontend-supplied shape:

• targetType: "microstep" | "task_extraction" | "cleanup". Parsed via FeedbackTargetType::parse.
• targetId: optional surface-specific id (subtask id, task id, transcript id).
• rating: -1 (thumbs down), 0 (correction, neutral), +1 (thumbs up).
• originalText: the AI-generated text the user is rating.
• correctedText: the user's preferred text (when they corrected it).
• contextJson: freeform JSON used by the prompt builder later to reconstruct the (input, preferred-output) pair.
• profileId: scopes the row.

FeedbackDto (:38)

camelCase mirror of FeedbackRow. Note rating widens to i64 in the DTO (storage uses i64).

parse_target_type (:68)

Wraps FeedbackTargetType::parse(raw), returning "unknown feedback target_type: <raw>" on miss.

record_feedback (:73)

parse_target_type then db_record_feedback. Returns the row id.

list_feedback_examples_cmd (:95)

Clamps limit to [1, 64], defaults 8. Clamps min_rating to [-1, 1], default 0. Calls db_list_feedback_examples. Returns FeedbackDtos. Used by the commands::tasks few-shot exemplar pull and would be used by the equivalent in commands::llm if/when cleanup gets its own exemplar path.

Data flow

dictation result thumbs-up -> invoke('record_feedback', { targetType: 'cleanup', rating: +1, originalText, correctedText, contextJson, profileId })
                            -> magnotia_storage::record_feedback -> row id

decomposition thumbs-down + correction -> record_feedback({ targetType: 'microstep', rating: 0, originalText, correctedText: "user's preferred wording", contextJson: {parent_text}, profileId })

next decompose call -> list_feedback_examples_cmd('microstep', 5, 0, profile_id)
                    -> [FeedbackDto, ...] -> few-shot exemplars

Watch-outs

• No ensure_main_window guard. Tasks float and History viewer secondary windows can also fire feedback. Intentional. If you ever want to lock down feedback writes, this is where to add the guard.
• contextJson is freeform. Storage stores the raw string. commands::tasks::to_llm_examples parses it and skips rows that are malformed. Bad data therefore degrades gracefully but doesn't surface to the user. The eprintln! in to_llm_examples is the only visibility.
• min_rating clamp is [-1, 1]. Pass 1 to get only thumbs-up examples, 0 for thumbs-up + corrections, -1 for everything. The default of 0 is what commands::tasks picks.
• No deduplication. A user thumbs-upping the same output twice creates two rows. The exemplar trim in commands::tasks does not dedupe by originalText. If two identical exemplars steal slots, that's just lost prompt budget.

• LLM — the cleanup path that produces the text that thumbs-up/down feedback rates.
• Profiles — profileId is the scoping key.
