### Message
> Get uiux feedback, please visit feedback folder x-ipe-docs/uiux-feedback/Feedback-20260321-090349 to get details. Feedback: "when we try to create an idea with knowledge base reference, it fails to create the idea, the composing idea action still in progress"

### Guidance Returned
> Process this UIUX feedback as a bug fix. Reproduce the compose-idea flow with a knowledge base reference selected, diagnose why the submission does not complete, and fix the smallest broken path so idea creation finishes successfully instead of remaining stuck in progress.

### Rationale
> The feedback describes an existing flow that should already work but does not: selecting a knowledge base reference blocks idea creation and leaves the UI in an in-progress state. This is a functional failure in existing behavior, so `x-ipe-task-based-bug-fix` is the strongest match.

### Suggested Skills
> suggested_skills:
>   - skill_name: "x-ipe-task-based-bug-fix"
>     match_strength: "strong"
>     reason: "An existing compose-idea workflow fails and remains stuck in progress when KB references are included."
>     execution_steps:
>       - phase: "1. Understand"
>         step: "1. Read bug description, expected behavior, and actual behavior"
>       - phase: "2. Reproduce"
>         step: "2. Follow the UI flow and confirm the stuck-in-progress failure"
>       - phase: "3. Fix"
>         step: "3. Write a failing test before implementing the minimal fix"

### Follow-up
> Inspect recent compose-idea and KB-reference changes first, especially `compose-idea-modal.js` and related idea creation routes/services, because this looks like a regression in the submit/persistence path rather than a new feature request.

## DAO-002
- **Timestamp:** 2026-03-21T01:15:00Z
- **Task ID:** TASK-981
- **Feature ID:** N/A
- **Workflow:** N/A
- **Calling Skill:** x-ipe-task-based-bug-fix
- **Source:** human
- **Disposition:** approval
- **Confidence:** 0.98

### Message
> Continue and avoid unrelated existing changes.

### Guidance Returned
> Proceed with the reproduction and fix for TASK-981. Do not modify unrelated pre-existing changes; limit edits to files that are necessary for the compose-idea KB-reference bug.

### Rationale
> The user explicitly approved continuing while preserving unrelated work already present in the repository. The smallest helpful intervention is approval-like guidance that tightens scope and preserves worktree safety.

### Suggested Skills
> suggested_skills: []

### Follow-up
> Continue with targeted reproduction in the compose-idea flow only.

### Message
> I have tested it, but looks like it's chinese for the file name so I got \u6D4B\u8BD5\u6587\u6863.doc which is not expected, it should show the chinese name properly

### Guidance Returned
> Fix the Chinese filename display bug. When a knowledge-base document has a Chinese filename (e.g., 测试文档.doc), the UI renders Unicode escape sequences (\u6D4B\u8BD5\u6587\u6863.doc) instead of the actual Chinese characters. Trace the filename from storage through the API response to the frontend render path. The root cause is likely that the filename string is being JSON-serialized with ensure_ascii=True, double-encoded, or rendered via repr() instead of being passed as a native Unicode string. Fix the smallest layer that introduces the escaping so filenames render correctly in their original script.

### Rationale
> The user tested the previous fix (TASK-981) and discovered a new, distinct bug: non-ASCII filenames are displayed as escaped Unicode rather than rendered as native characters. This is a functional defect in existing behavior — the filename is correct in storage but mangled during serialization or rendering. The bug_fix skill is the strongest match, and the engineering workflow confirms we are in FEEDBACK stage where bug_fix re-enters VALIDATION.

### Suggested Skills
> suggested_skills:
>   - skill_name: "x-ipe-task-based-bug-fix"
>     match_strength: "strong"
>     reason: "Chinese filenames render as Unicode escape sequences instead of native characters — a serialization/encoding bug in the filename display path."
>     execution_steps:
>       - phase: "1. Understand"
>         step: "1.1 Read bug description: Unicode escapes shown instead of Chinese characters for filenames"
>       - phase: "2. Reproduce"
>         step: "2.1 Trace filename from DB/storage through API serialization to frontend rendering"
>       - phase: "3. Fix"
>         step: "3.1 Write a failing test with a Chinese filename, then fix the encoding/serialization layer"

### Follow-up
> Focus on the serialization path (e.g., JSON response encoding with ensure_ascii, or frontend escaping). Check whether the API returns already-escaped strings or if the frontend is escaping them during render. The fix is likely a one-line change in the serialization config or template rendering.
