SpEL Console Integration​

When you open the SpEL Console and have an active script, AI Chat becomes context-aware:

  1. The chat automatically knows the current script content, script name, entity type, and microservice
  2. A context badge appears above the input showing spel-console
  3. When you ask a question, the AI returns a structured response containing both an explanation and a modified script
  4. A diff overlay appears over the editor showing the proposed changes
    • Click Accept to apply the modified script
    • Click Reject to discard and return to the original
