Changelog Entry

Add rag_template as a configurable parameter in model settings, allowing each model to define its own RAG template instead of always using the global default.

Middleware now selects the model-specific RAG template if provided.
Model editor UI updated to allow editing and saving rag_template.
Fallback to global RAG_TEMPLATE remains when no override is set.

Added

Support per-model RAG template override

Breaking Changes

BREAKING CHANGE: NONE

Screenshots or Videos

By default the model screen will have an empty template and global rag template will be used.

We can override the default by setting our customized rag template.

Here is an example rag template, based on default, without citations.

### Task:
Respond to the user query using the provided context.

### Guidelines:
- If you don't know the answer, clearly state that.
- If uncertain, ask the user for clarification.
- Respond in the same language as the user's query.
- If the context is unreadable or of poor quality, inform the user and provide the best possible answer.
- If the answer isn't present in the context but you possess the knowledge, explain this to the user and provide the answer using your own understanding.
- Do not cite any <source> tag
- Do not use XML tags in your response.

### Output:
Provide a clear and direct response to the user's query.

<context>
{{CONTEXT}}
</context>

<user_query>
{{QUERY}}
</user_query>
