Chat fails to rename function argument due to target format issue #23

Description

The Chat assistant fails to rename a function argument due to the format of the modification query generated by the AI.

The Chat assistant generates the following error in this case:

but argument renaming failed due to a target format issue. You may need to rename arguments manually in the UI or adjust the parameter naming approach

This is most likely due to the AI failing to use the variable renaming operation for function arguments and instead generating a different format for arguments.

Here are a few possible work-arounds:

  • Instruct the AI to rename the variable for the function argument (e.g. "Rename the variable arg1")
  • Use the Decompilation Suggestions sidebar to generate a suggestion for variable names for the given function and then apply the suggestion for the desired function argument variable. (Note: This operation uses a faster, cheaper model on our backend server instead of the slower, more expensive reasoning model of the Chat assistant.)
