The assistant group manages prompt-related settings that influence how prompts are stored and
accessed during runtime. While the current implementation focuses on directory scanning,
future enhancements may include prompt indexing strategies and embedding cache options.
The assistant.prompts.dir property specifies the directory scanned for
Markdown prompt files. The default location is work/server/prompts
inside the container. The assistant group includes a size guard that limits the total
size of prompt content. This safeguard prevents excessive memory usage and ensures that
prompts remain lightweight and efficient.
