Dumitru Picalau 9f8a965b67 feat(ai): debug log of every AI request with Copy debug (#122)
Settings › AI assistant › Advanced › Debug log (off by default) gives every AI request an X-WP-Debug id. The server records each model call it makes (prompt as sent, reply, thinking, tool calls, tokens, errors), keeps the last 30 in memory and writes one file per request to ai-debug/ in the data folder (newest 300). Images, embedding vectors and keys are left out. A Debug button in the top bar lists the requests with Copy debug (Markdown) and JSON. WP_AI_DEBUG=1 records every request, for evals.

"""One chat step against the configured model, in either tool format.
- ``native``: the registry's tools go out as the provider's own tool
declarations (OpenAI-style ``tools`` for OpenAI, LM Studio, llama.cpp and
Ollama; Claude's ``tools``) and the model answers with tool calls, the
format models are fine-tuned for.
- ``json``: the step format the chat always used: one JSON object
``{plan, message, calls}`` forced by a schema. For models and servers
without tool calling.
Requests are built from the chat's turn log (`engine.ai.chatlog`) in the
same order every time, stable parts first, so local servers reuse their
cache and cloud prompt caching applies: Claude gets ``cache_control``,
OpenAI a ``prompt_cache_key``, Ollama one ``num_ctx`` for the whole chat.
See `_ai_client.py` for the threat model; every request goes through its
`_request`, to the one saved address.
