Allow editing chat history

[pixlmint]

The documentation states the following:

A key difference in working with agents versus LLMs is the matter of state. LLMs, via http adapters, are stateless. This means that CodeCompanion sends the entire message history over with every request. Agents differ in that they are the ones responsible for managing state

(Usage > Chat Buffer > Agents)

and I'm wondering if something similar, where we can define ways to modify the message history ourselves, could be implemented. One integration point that comes to mind would be workflows, where we could define a function that receives the current message history and returns a modified version of it - for example with the edit<->test workflow, we might want to always keep the first and the most recent test result in the history, while omitting everything in-between.

You can do this via the debug window, as per the docs.

Your workflow suggestion is interesting but I would caution altering history in such a way. My experience is that it doesn't generally yield great results. This could technically be achieved. You could get the last chat (require("codecompanion").last_chat()) and alter it's history
