 ## Devel note
 
+### Reason behind this
+
+The idea is to be easy enough to use for basic purposes, while also being simple and easily discernable
+by developers who may not be from web frontend background (so inturn may not be familiar with template /
+end-use-specific-language-extensions driven flows) so that they can use it to explore/experiment things.
+
+And given that the idea is also to help explore/experiment for developers, some flexibility is provided
+to change behaviour easily using the devel-tools/console, for now. And skeletal logic has been implemented
+to explore some of the end points and ideas/implications around them.
+
+
+### General
+
+Me/gMe consolidates the settings which control the behaviour into one object.
+One can see the current settings, as well as change/update them using browsers devel-tool/console.
+
+  bCompletionFreshChatAlways - whether Completion mode collates complete/sliding-window history when
+  communicating with the server or only sends the latest user query/message.
+
+  bCompletionInsertStandardRolePrefix - whether Completion mode inserts role related prefix wrt the
+  messages that get inserted into prompt field wrt /Completion endpoint.
+
+  chatRequestOptions - maintains the list of options/fields to send along with chat request,
+  irrespective of whether /chat/completions or /completions endpoint.
+
+    If you want to add additional options/fields to send to the server/ai-model, and or
+    modify the existing options value or remove them, for now you can update this global var
+    using browser's development-tools/console.
+
+  iRecentUserMsgCnt - a simple minded SlidingWindow to limit context window load at Ai Model end.
+  This is disabled by default. However if enabled, then in addition to latest system message, only
+  the last/latest iRecentUserMsgCnt user messages after the latest system prompt and its responses
+  from the ai model will be sent to the ai-model, when querying for a new response. IE if enabled,
+  only user messages after the latest system message/prompt will be considered.
+
+    This specified sliding window user message count also includes the latest user query.
+    <0 : Send entire chat history to server
+     0 : Send only the system message if any to the server
+    >0 : Send the latest chat history from the latest system prompt, limited to specified cnt.
+
+
+By using gMe's iRecentUserMsgCnt and chatRequestOptions.max_tokens one can try to control the
+implications of loading of the ai-model's context window by chat history, wrt chat response to
+some extent in a simple crude way.
+
+
 Sometimes the browser may be stuborn with caching of the file, so your updates to html/css/js
 may not be visible. Also remember that just refreshing/reloading page in browser or for that
 matter clearing site data, dont directly override site caching in all cases. Worst case you may
 have to change port. Or in dev tools of browser, you may be able to disable caching fully.
 
+
 Concept of multiple chat sessions with different servers, as well as saving and restoring of
 those across browser usage sessions, can be woven around the SimpleChat/MultiChatUI class and
 its instances relatively easily, however given the current goal of keeping this simple, it has
 not been added, for now.
 
+
 By switching between chat.add_system_begin/anytime, one can control whether one can change
 the system prompt, anytime during the conversation or only at the beginning.
+
+
+read_json_early, is to experiment with reading json response data early on, if available,
+so that user can be shown generated data, as and when it is being generated, rather than
+at the end when full data is available.
+
+  the server flow doesnt seem to be sending back data early, atleast for request (inc options)
+  that is currently sent.
+
+  if able to read json data early on in future, as and when ai model is generating data, then
+  this helper needs to indirectly update the chat div with the recieved data, without waiting
+  for the overall data to be available.
+
+
+### Default setup
+
+By default things are setup to try and make the user experience a bit better, if possible.
+However a developer when testing the server of ai-model may want to change these value.
+
+Using iRecentUserMsgCnt reduce chat history context sent to the server/ai-model to be
+just the system-prompt, prev-user-request-and-ai-response and cur-user-request, instead of
+full chat history. This way if there is any response with garbage/repeatation, it doesnt
+mess with things beyond the next question/request/query, in some ways.
+
+Set max_tokens to 1024, so that a relatively large previous reponse doesnt eat up the space
+available wrt next query-response. However dont forget that the server when started should
+also be started with a model context size of 1k or more, to be on safe side.
+
+  The /completions endpoint of examples/server doesnt take max_tokens, instead it takes the
+  internal n_predict, for now add the same here on the client side, maybe later add max_tokens
+  to /completions endpoint handling code on server side.
+
+Frequency and presence penalty fields are set to 1.2 in the set of fields sent to server
+along with the user query. So that the model is partly set to try avoid repeating text in
+its response.
+
+A end-user can change these behaviour by editing gMe from browser's devel-tool/console.
+
+
+## At the end
+
+Also a thank you to all open source and open model developers, who strive for the common good.
