Comprehensive Update to Bot, DAO, and Data Model Architecture

[yhbcode000]

Overview
This pull request introduces significant updates to our application's architecture and functionalities, particularly focusing on renaming API call classes, enhancing the bot's capabilities, and refining our data handling layers in line with the MVC architecture. These changes aim to improve maintainability, extend functionalities, and streamline our configuration management.

Key Changes

1. Renaming Classes

   • Renamed all LLM API call classes to Bot to better reflect their functionalities and align with common naming conventions.

2. Bot Enhancements

   • Added new continueConversation functionality to the Bot implementation to support ongoing user interactions.
   • Updated the bot initialization process within the server to ensure seamless startup and integration.

3. Data Model and DAO Updates

   • Introduced a new package named model which contains classes for the data model in the MVC framework. This package is designed to structure and manage application data more effectively.
   • Comprehensive updates to the DAO class to enhance data utilization and interaction through new wrapped methods that extend beyond the original implementations.
   • Achieved significant milestones in the history management functionalities and partial fixes in the configuration manager.
   • All small tests and API endpoint tests have passed, confirming stability and functionality post-update.

4. Agent Prompt Template

   • Implemented an agent prompt template decorator to enhance and format input content dynamically, nearing completion.

5. Configuration Management Overhaul

   • Reworked the configuration function into a dedicated class. Altered the logic for loading configurations to improve clarity and modularity.

Architecture Notes

• The new data model is designed to represent the structure of data within our application, whereas the DAO (Data Access Object) focuses on data operations and utilization. This separation enhances clarity and allows for more sophisticated data handling strategies.
• By encapsulating configuration loading within a class, we aim to isolate and manage application settings more effectively, reducing side-effects and increasing the predictability of changes.

Implications for Current Work

• Developers should update their local branches with these changes to ensure compatibility.
• Further testing might be required in specific areas impacted by the restructured data handling and bot functionalities.

Action Required

• Please review the changes for accuracy and completeness.
• Feedback on the new data handling strategies and configuration management is especially appreciated to ensure robust implementation.

TODO List:

• Complete the configuration update section in the API within the Flask server's appView.

move the following two to future issues

• Complete the implementation of the prompt template, apply it, and initiate it.
• Implement the AgentManagement class in dao (note: this may be subject to change based on further requirements).

This is supposed to be the last huge update of the backend, and we can progress to next stage once we merge this into the main.
