We were logging persona triage as "bot" in logs, causing some
confusions around real world usage
This amends it so we log usage to "automation - AUTOMATION NAME"
This allows for a new mode in persona triage where nothing is posted on topics.
This allows people to perform all triage actions using tools
Additionally introduces new APIs to create chat messages from tools which can be useful in certain moderation scenarios

- Fix search API to only include column_names when present to make the API less confusing
- Ensure correct LLM is used in PMs by tracking and preferring the last bot user
- Fix persona_id conversion from string to integer in custom fields
- Add missing test for PM triage with no replies - ensure we don't try to auto title topic
- Ensure bot users are properly added to PMs
- Make title setting optional when replying to posts
- Add ability to control stream_reply behavior
These changes improve reliability and fix edge cases in bot interactions,
particularly in private messages with multiple LLMs and while triaging posts using personas
## LLM Persona Triage
- Allows automated responses to posts using AI personas
- Configurable to respond as regular posts or whispers
- Adds context-aware formatting for topics and private messages
- Provides special handling for topic metadata (title, category, tags)
## LLM Tool Triage
- Enables custom AI tools to process and respond to posts
- Tools can analyze post content and invoke personas when needed
- Zero-parameter tools can be used for automated workflows
- Not enabled in production yet
## Implementation Details
- Added new scriptable registration in discourse_automation/ directory
- Created core implementation in lib/automation/ modules
- Enhanced PromptMessagesBuilder with topic-style formatting
- Added helper methods for persona and tool selection in UI
- Extended AI Bot functionality to support whisper responses
- Added rate limiting to prevent abuse
## Other Changes
- Added comprehensive test coverage for both automation types
- Enhanced tool runner with LLM integration capabilities
- Improved error handling and logging
This feature allows forum admins to configure AI personas to automatically respond to posts based on custom criteria and leverage AI tools for more complex triage workflows.
Tool Triage has been disabled in production while we finalize details of new scripting capabilities.
