Novior.MentorAgent.Blazor 1.2.0

Novior.MentorAgent.Blazor

New package IDs. From 1.0.0 the packages, their namespaces and their assemblies are Novior.MentorAgent.*; up to 1.0.0-rc.15 they were MentorAgent.*. See Migrating from the MentorAgent.* packages in the Novior.MentorAgent README.

Blazor WebAssembly client for MentorAgent. Install this in your Blazor WASM / Blazor Auto client project.

Connects to a Novior.MentorAgent.Server hub via SignalR and provides the same <ChatWidget /> experience as Blazor Server — same features, same API, no code changes needed when switching between render modes.

All AI processing happens server-side — configured in your server project with AddMentorAgent(). The client sends messages, registers page context and UI actions, and receives streaming events.

Getting started

Installation

# Client project
dotnet add package Novior.MentorAgent.Blazor

# Server project — MentorAgent is included automatically as a transitive dependency
dotnet add package Novior.MentorAgent.Server

Server project setup

All AI behaviour is configured on the server (the transitive Novior.MentorAgent core): agents, RAG, memory, skills, MCP/A2A and the token/cost optimizations below. The client only renders the widget.

// Server/Program.cs
builder.Services.AddMentorAgent(options =>
{
    options.AppName        = "My App";
    options.AppDescription = "An order management application";
    options.ChatClient     = chatClient;
    options.ScanAssemblies = [typeof(Program).Assembly];

    // All features configured here: agents, RAG, MCP, A2A, memory, skills...
    options.UseMemoryContext = true;
    options.UseRag           = true;
    options.McpServerEnabled = true;
    options.A2AServerEnabled = true;
    options.EnableSkills     = true;
    options.RateLimitPerUser = 20;
});
builder.Services.AddMentorAgentServer();

app.MapMentorAgentServer();   // /mentor-hub, /mentor/chat + /mentor/approve, /mentor/cancel, /mentor/session, /mentor/tour, /mentor/admin/metrics
app.MapMentorAgentMcp();      // optional
app.MapMentorAgentA2A();      // optional

AddRazorComponents() and AddMentorAgentServer() can come in either order: Blazor's circuits keep their user, and the hub, /mentor/chat and A2A get theirs from the request.

Token & cost optimization + reliable memory (server project)

These options cut the tokens sent per request and make memory reliable — all on the server. Full details: MentorAgent core README → Token & cost optimization.

builder.Services.AddMentorAgent(options =>
{
    // ...ChatClient, ScanAssemblies as above...

    // Embedding model — powers semantic tool filtering AND semantic memory relevance.
    options.EmbeddingGenerator = new AzureOpenAIClient(endpoint, credential)
        .GetEmbeddingClient("text-embedding-3-small").AsIEmbeddingGenerator();

    // Send only the tools semantically relevant to the message (requires EmbeddingGenerator).
    options.EnableToolFiltering = true;
    options.ToolFilterMinScore  = 0.35f;

    // Compact long conversation history before each call.
    options.EnableCompaction         = true;
    options.CompactionTokenThreshold = 4000;

    // Memory: reliable post-turn fact capture (default true) + inject only relevant memories.
    options.UseMemoryContext         = true;
    options.MemoryAutoCapture        = true;   // default — reliable writer on Path A
    options.MemoryRelevanceFiltering = true;   // requires EmbeddingGenerator
});

Robustness, observability & cost dashboard (server project)

Also configured on the server — see the MentorAgent core README for full details.

builder.Services.AddMentorAgent(options =>
{
    // Middleware hooks
    options.OnException = ex => ex.Message.Contains("rate", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
        ? "The service is busy, please retry shortly." : null;
    options.ConfigureChatClientPipeline = b => b.UseLogging();

    // Observability (add an OpenTelemetry exporter to the app as usual)
    options.EnableObservability = true;

    // Dashboard cost pricing (supply your own; none built in)
    options.ModelPricing = new Dictionary<string, ModelPrice>(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
    {
        ["gpt-4o"] = new ModelPrice(2.50m, 10.00m), ["gpt-4o-mini"] = new ModelPrice(0.15m, 0.60m),
    };
});

The admin dashboard ships as a Blazor component. Drop it on a protected page (you own the authorization). On Blazor Server / Auto it reads IMentorMetrics in-process; on standalone WASM, fetch GET /mentor/admin/metrics from the server and pass the snapshot:

@* Blazor Server / Auto — in-process (the component reads IMentorMetrics itself) *@
@attribute [Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
@using Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions.Components
<MentorDashboard Currency="$" />

@* Standalone WASM — fetch the snapshot from the server and pass it in *@
@attribute [Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
@using System.Net.Http.Json
@using Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions.Components
@using Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions.Models
@inject HttpClient Http

<MentorDashboard Snapshot="_snapshot" OnRefresh="LoadAsync" Currency="$" />

@code {
    private MentorMetricsSnapshot? _snapshot;
    protected override Task OnInitializedAsync() => LoadAsync();

    // HttpClient must target the server; the endpoint is gated by options.DashboardRole.
    private async Task LoadAsync() =>
        _snapshot = await Http.GetFromJsonAsync<MentorMetricsSnapshot>("mentor/admin/metrics");
}

Also configured/available on the server (see the core README for full examples):

• Rich responses — with options.EnableRichResponses (server, default on) the assistant formats structured data as Markdown; this widget renders the tables, lists and links automatically — no client wiring, XSS-safe, tables scroll horizontally on narrow screens.
• Model routing (options.StrongChatClient + options.RoutingStrategy: Semantic/Classifier/Cascade/Custom) — cheap↔strong per turn.
• Structured outputs — inject IMentorStructured (GenerateAsync<T>) for typed results / auto-filled forms.
• Evaluation — inject MentorEvaluator (wraps the Agent Framework's native agent.EvaluateAsync) in tests to gate CI on token/quality regressions; plug FoundryEvals/MEAI evaluators for quality & safety.

Client project setup

// Client/Program.cs
using Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions.Models;   // MentorLanguage, MentorTheme, ChatPosition
using Novior.MentorAgent.Blazor.Extensions;

// Stop and confirmations go through an HttpClient. The standalone WebAssembly template registers one;
// the client project of a Blazor Web App does not.
builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

builder.Services.AddMentorAgentBlazor(options =>
{
    options.HubUrl       = "/mentor-hub";    // URL of Novior.MentorAgent.Server hub
    options.BotName      = "My Assistant";
    options.Language     = MentorLanguage.English;
    options.Theme        = MentorTheme.Default;
    options.PrimaryColor = "#2563eb";
});

⚠️ HubUrl — relative vs absolute.

• Same origin (Blazor Auto hosted, or WASM served by the same ASP.NET Core host): use a relative path — options.HubUrl = "/mentor-hub". It is resolved against the page's base address, as the browser resolves it: /mentor-hub at the origin's root, mentor-hub under the app's base path.
• Different origin (standalone WASM on :5001 connecting to a server on :5169): use the server's absolute URL — options.HubUrl = "http://localhost:5169/mentor-hub" — and configure CORS on the server (see the Novior.MentorAgent.Server README → CORS). Without server-side CORS the SignalR handshake is silently blocked by the browser.

// Standalone WASM example — different origin
builder.Services.AddMentorAgentBlazor(options =>
{
    options.HubUrl = "http://localhost:5169/mentor-hub";   // absolute — server on a different port
    options.BotName = "My Assistant";
});

Authenticating the connection — AccessTokenProvider

If your users sign in, set this. The server resolves the caller from the SignalR HubCallerContext.User, and a browser cannot send an Authorization header on a WebSocket or Server-Sent Events connection — so the token travels the way SignalR expects, and AccessTokenProvider is where you supply it. It is the WASM equivalent of the JavaScript client's accessTokenFactory.

var tokenStore = new TokenStore();                    // your own: holds the signed-in user's token
builder.Services.AddSingleton(tokenStore);           // same instance for your login page

builder.Services.AddMentorAgentBlazor(options =>
{
    options.HubUrl = "https://api.example.com/mentor-hub";
    options.AccessTokenProvider = () => Task.FromResult(tokenStore.Token);   // null while signed out
});

⚠️ Without it every user is anonymous to the server, and every RequiredRoles action is blocked. What else follows depends on the server's AnonymousIdentity. With the default PerSession, each hub connection is its own anonymous user: nothing is shared between people, but memory and the RateLimitPerUser allowance start over on every reconnect. With Shared, every user is the single key "anonymous": one rate limit for everybody and one memory bucket. With MemoryAutoCapture on (the default), one person's name and preferences then reach another person's prompt.

The server must accept the token from the query string. A browser cannot send an Authorization header on a WebSocket or Server-Sent Events connection, so SignalR sends the token as ?access_token=…. With JWT bearer on the server, forward it in OnMessageReceived, or the hub still sees an anonymous caller:

// Server Program.cs
builder.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddJwtBearer(options => options.Events = new JwtBearerEvents
    {
        OnMessageReceived = ctx =>
        {
            var token = ctx.Request.Query["access_token"];
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(token) && ctx.HttpContext.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/mentor-hub"))
                ctx.Token = token;
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        }
    });

For the hub, the provider is read on connect and on every reconnect, not per message. (The Stop and confirmation requests read it again each time they are sent.) The widget opens the hub connection lazily, when the user sends the first message, and keeps it for the life of the page. A sign-in before that first message is picked up automatically. A user who signs in after it stays on the old, anonymous connection: MentorHubClient has no way to restart it, so reload the page after sign-in (Navigation.NavigateTo(Navigation.Uri, forceLoad: true)) and restore the persisted token during startup. A reconnect is a new connection on the server, so it also starts a new conversation.

For anything else the connection needs — a custom header, a transport restriction, cookies — ConfigureConnection runs on the same HttpConnectionOptions immediately afterwards:

options.ConfigureConnection = o => o.Headers["X-Tenant"] = tenantId;

Stop and confirmations — plain HTTP to the hub's server

■ Stop (POST /mentor/cancel) and the answer to a confirmation (POST /mentor/approve) cannot go through the hub (see How it works), so the widget sends them as HTTP requests. They follow the hub settings above:

• Where they go. When HubUrl is an absolute http(s) URL, both are posted to the hub's origin (https://api.example.com/mentor/approve for HubUrl = "https://api.example.com/mentor-hub"). With a relative HubUrl (same-origin hosting) they stay relative and resolve against the host's HttpClient.BaseAddress.
• What they carry. When AccessTokenProvider is set, each request sends Authorization: Bearer <token> with the token it returns — the same credential the hub uses. Both endpoints accept a Stop or an answer only from the user who opened the hub connection (401 for an anonymous caller, 403 for another user), so this is what lets a signed-in user's Stop and confirmations through.

Two things are still yours:

• Register an HttpClient. The widget sends these requests through the HttpClient in your client's DI container, and AddMentorAgentBlazor() does not register one. The standalone WebAssembly template registers one. The client project of a Blazor Web App does not, and without it the WebAssembly runtime does not start (CannotResolveService … HttpClient): add the line of the setup snippet above to its Program.cs. With an absolute HubUrl the BaseAddress does not matter for these two calls.
• CORS, cross-origin. The server's CORS policy must allow the client's origin for these POSTs as well as for the hub, including the Authorization header when you send a token. On the server, UseCors comes before UseAuthentication and UseAuthorization, and those before Map…: with a protected hub, any other order blocks the client on another origin (see the Novior.MentorAgent.Server README → CORS).

A failure is only logged (the widget has already closed the prompt), so check the browser console if Stop or a confirmation seems to be ignored.

Add the widget

In MainLayout.razor or any page:

@using Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions.Components

<ChatWidget />

Important — a standalone Blazor WASM app requires manual CSS/JS links in index.html.

Unlike Blazor Server (where the widget injects CSS automatically via <HeadContent>), a standalone Blazor WASM app uses a static index.html that is served before the .NET runtime starts. Add these two lines to your wwwroot/index.html:

<head>
    ...
    <link href="_content/Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions/css/MentorAgent.css?v=1.2.0" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
    ...
    <script src="_content/Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions/js/MentorAgent.js?v=1.2.0"></script>
</body>

Without this, the widget will render unstyled until after WASM initializes (flash of unstyled content).

⚠️ Set the ?v= to the package version and change it on every upgrade. On Blazor Server the widget writes these tags itself and versions them for you, with the package version and its commit; here they are yours, nothing fingerprints them, and a returning visitor's browser will reuse the copy it already has. A stale MentorAgent.js fails silently and selectively — the widget still works, but the calls that did not exist in the older file are swallowed by their try/catch, so the onboarding tour never appears and voice falls back to reading the whole answer at the end. If a feature seems missing after an upgrade, check the served file before anything else: it should contain flagGet and beginSpeech.

On Blazor Server, <ChatWidget /> injects its own CSS and JS automatically — no changes to _Host.cshtml or App.razor needed. A Blazor Web App (Auto or WebAssembly) has no index.html: prerendered — the default — the widget writes the two tags itself, as on Blazor Server; with prerender: false add them to the <head> of App.razor.

Widget customization

Theme and appearance

options.Theme        = MentorTheme.Minimal;   // Default | Dark | Minimal | Custom | Auto
options.PrimaryColor = "#7c3aed";             // any hex color
options.Position     = ChatPosition.BottomRight; // BottomRight | BottomLeft | TopRight | TopLeft | SideRight | SideLeft
options.AvatarUrl    = "/my-avatar.png";
options.BotName      = "ShopFlow Assistant";

Welcome message and input

options.WelcomeMessage    = "Hello! How can I help you today?";
options.InputPlaceholder  = "Ask anything...";
options.EnableSuggestions = true;   // show suggestion chips in the welcome panel

Language (10 supported)

options.Language = MentorLanguage.Italian;
// English | Italian | French | German | Spanish | Portuguese | Dutch | Polish | Japanese | Chinese

This sets the widget's UI strings, read again on every use. The language the assistant answers in is the server's options.Language in AddMentorAgent(), and the prompt enforces it whatever language the user writes in. A widget given its own language, <ChatWidget Language="MentorLanguage.Italian" />, sends it with every turn, and the server answers in it (see A language per page in the MentorAgent README). Otherwise set both:

using Novior.MentorAgent.Abstractions.Models;   // MentorLanguage, in both Program.cs files

// Server Program.cs
builder.Services.AddMentorAgent(options => { /* ... */ options.Language = MentorLanguage.Italian; });

// Client Program.cs
builder.Services.AddMentorAgentBlazor(options => { options.Language = MentorLanguage.Italian; });

Voice

options.EnableVoiceInput  = true;   // microphone button (browser Speech Recognition)
options.EnableVoiceOutput = true;   // text-to-speech for AI responses

options.VoiceStreaming    = true;   // default — speak sentence by sentence while the answer streams
options.VoiceBargeIn      = true;   // default — taking the floor stops playback
options.VoiceHandsFree    = false;  // opt-in — keep the conversation going by voice alone
options.VoiceRate         = 1.0;    // 0.5–2.0

Unlike image input and the hosted-tools badge below, these are not a mirror of server settings. Voice is entirely browser behaviour: your server sees only the transcript, as an ordinary message, and these options are the real thing rather than a copy of something the server enforces. The audio is the browser's business: some browsers, Chrome among them, send it to their maker's speech service for recognition (MDN, Using the Web Speech API).

VoiceStreaming is what makes voice output usable on anything longer than a sentence. Without it the assistant stays silent for the whole response and then recites it. Text is buffered to a sentence boundary and queued as its own utterance, so speech keeps pace with the stream — and the boundary detection knows that 8.459 is one number and that a fenced code block must be dropped whole rather than read out.

VoiceBargeIn stops playback when the user presses the microphone, sends a message, presses ■ Stop or starts a new conversation. It is press-to-interrupt, not acoustic: a browser cannot listen through its own playback without echo cancellation.

VoiceHandsFree sends on silence and reopens the microphone after the spoken answer ends. It needs both voice options on — with nothing to listen to there is nothing to wait for, and the loop would transcribe the assistant. If you set only one, it is ignored.

Onboarding tour

options.EnableOnboardingTour = true;   // shown once, on this user's first open of the widget
options.TourUrl = "/mentor/tour";      // default — only change it if you remapped the server endpoints

The steps are generated on the server — only it knows the registered [MentorPage] pages and the assistant's tools — and fetched from GET /mentor/tour, which MapMentorAgentServer() maps whatever the server's own EnableOnboardingTour says. The flag on this client alone decides whether to show the tour; the server needs only the [MentorPage] pages, and with none it answers [].

That split follows the same rule as the hosted-tools badge: the server is the single source of truth, and a client that reproduces server state locally eventually displays something the server no longer agrees with.

Each step can carry a ready-made question the user sends with one tap — which is the point, since the usual failure of an in-app assistant is not that people cannot find it but that they do not know what to ask. A ? button in the header replays the tour later.

If the fetch fails the widget opens normally and logs a warning: a missing tour is a missing nicety, not a broken chat.

Generative UI cards

Nothing to configure on the client. When a server-side tool returns a MentorCard, the server pushes it on the Cards hub event and the widget renders it under the reply — fields, accent colour and buttons.

Buttons work the same as in Blazor Server: SendMessage sends the text as a user turn, Navigate routes to the URL, UIAction runs an action the current page registered (resolved at click time, so a stale handler from a page you have navigated away from is skipped rather than invoked).

To render a card kind yourself, supply a template and fall back to the built-in renderer for the rest:

<ChatWidget>
    <CardTemplate Context="card">
        @if (card.Kind == "order") { <OrderCard Card="card" /> }
        else                       { <MentorCardView Card="card" /> }
    </CardTemplate>
</ChatWidget>

The fallback's buttons work without any wiring: ChatWidget cascades its own card-action dispatcher around the cards, and a <MentorCardView> inside the template that sets no OnAction uses it, with the same SendMessage / Navigate / UIAction behaviour as above. An explicit OnAction on the MentorCardView still wins. The dispatcher reaches only MentorCardView: buttons you draw yourself in a template (as OrderCard might) get nothing from it, so render a MentorCardView for any card whose buttons should behave like the built-in ones.

Cards are built by server-side application code, not by the model, which is why they can safely carry buttons: nothing said in the conversation can add one or change where it points.

Image input (multimodal)

Lets the user attach images to a message. The widget accepts them four ways — 📎 file picker, Ctrl+V clipboard paste, drag & drop onto the composer, and 🔗 remote URL — and shows removable thumbnails before sending and inside the message bubble afterwards.

// Client Program.cs — mirrors the server settings (the server is what actually enforces them)
builder.Services.AddMentorAgentBlazor(options =>
{
    options.EnableImageInput    = true;
    options.MaxImageBytes       = 4 * 1024 * 1024;                            // per image (default 4 MB)
    options.MaxImagesPerMessage = 4;                                          // per turn  (default 4)
    options.AllowedImageTypes   = ["image/png", "image/jpeg", "image/webp"];  // MIME allow-list
});

The server must also enable it, with a vision-capable model:

// Server Program.cs
builder.Services.AddMentorAgent(options =>
{
    // ...AppName, ScanAssemblies as above...
    options.ChatClient       = azure.GetChatClient("gpt-4.1").AsIChatClient();   // vision-capable
    options.EnableImageInput = true;
});

The client values only drive the UI and give the user instant feedback; every attachment is re-validated server-side (allow-list, size, count) before it reaches the model. Images travel over the hub as the second argument of SendMessage(text, attachments). The client always sends both arguments, with null for a text-only turn, because SignalR binds hub arguments by count. The images ride inside that one hub message as base64, so AddMentorAgentServer() raises MentorHub's MaximumReceiveMessageSize from the server's MaxImageBytes × MaxImagesPerMessage (+512 KB). Keep the client values at or below the server's: a message larger than the hub limit makes SignalR abort the connection before the server can validate it, and the user sees their own bubble and no reply.

Sending images from your own code:

@inject IMentorOrchestrator Orchestrator

await Orchestrator.SendMessageAsync("Cosa non va in questo screenshot?", [
    new MentorAttachment { MimeType = "image/png",  DataBase64 = base64, FileName = "error.png" },
    new MentorAttachment { MimeType = "image/jpeg", Url = "https://cdn.example.com/product.jpg" },
]);

Image bytes are streamed to .NET through IJSStreamReference, never marshalled as one big interop payload — so this works unchanged on Blazor Server too, without touching HubOptions.MaximumReceiveMessageSize.

RAG citations

options.ShowRagSources = true;   // show citation chips below AI responses

MCP and A2A status badges

When the server has MCP client servers or remote A2A agents configured, the widget can display live status badges in the header. Because the WASM client doesn't read the server configuration directly, you must mirror the relevant settings:

// Client Program.cs
builder.Services.AddMentorAgentBlazor(options =>
{
    // MCP badge — mirror McpServers names from the server
    options.ShowMcpStatus  = true;
    options.HasMcpServers  = true;
    options.McpServerNames = ["time", "filesystem"];  // must match server McpServers[].Name

    // A2A badge — mirror RemoteAgents from the server
    options.ShowA2AStatus       = true;
    options.HasRemoteAgents     = true;
    options.RemoteAgentDisplays = [
        new AgentDisplayInfo { Name = "ShopFlow-B", AgentCardUrl = "http://localhost:5001" }
    ];
});

The MCP badge updates dynamically — when a server connects or disconnects the hub fires McpServerStatusChanged and the badge turns green/red. The A2A badge is static (shows configured agents, no live status).

Note: McpServerNames must match the Name fields in MentorMcpServer[] configured on the server. A mismatch shows a stale "connecting" badge.

Hosted tools badge

If the server enables hosted tools (provider-side web search, code interpreter, file search, image generation, remote MCP), an amber pill lists them in the header. Do not list them here — turn the badge on and let the server say what it enabled:

options.ShowHostedToolsStatus = true;   // that's all

The server sends its active set on the HostedToolsDeclared hub event the moment the client connects, and the widget prefers it over any local value. On WebAssembly the connection opens when the user sends the first message, so until then the badge shows options.HostedTools (nothing, by default). Setting options.HostedTools by hand still works as a pre-connection placeholder, but it is a copy that goes stale: change the server's configuration and the badge starts claiming tools that are not there — which is worse than no badge, because it is believed.

Unlike MCP the badge has no live status afterwards: hosted tools are configuration, not a connection.

Live activity needs no configuration here. When the server has ShowHostedToolActivity on, the widget already shows what the provider is doing, over the hub events it consumes anyway:

• "Ricerca sul web… · .NET 10" in the feedback line, via ActionExecuting / ActionCompleted
• pages cited by web search as citation chips, via RagSourcesReady — the same panel as RAG, so it also needs ShowRagSources
• generated images attached to the finished message, via the GeneratedImages event

The WASM client handles all three out of the box.

Page context and UI actions

IMentorPageContext works identically to Blazor Server. Register context data and UI actions in any page — they are sent to the server as a snapshot before each AI message.

Inject page context

@inject IMentorPageContext PageContext
@implements IDisposable

@code {
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        PageContext
            .SetPageName("Orders")
            .Set("ActiveFilter", "Pending")
            .Set("VisibleRows", _orders.Count);
    }

    public void Dispose() => PageContext.Clear("Orders");   // this page's entries only, by its name
}

Register UI actions (no parameter)

PageContext.RegisterUIAction(
    "open_create_modal",
    "Opens the modal to create a new order",
    _ => OpenCreateModal());

Register UI actions with typed parameter

// The AI calls highlight_row(42) — parameter deserialized automatically
PageContext.RegisterUIAction<int>(
    "highlight_row",
    "Highlights the specified order row",
    id => HighlightRow(id),
    parameterHint: "integer: order ID");

Async UI actions

PageContext.RegisterUIActionAsync<OrderModel>(
    "prefill_form",
    "Pre-fills the edit form with order data",
    async model => {
        _formModel = model;
        await InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);
    },
    parameterHint: "JSON: { orderId, amount, status }");

Remove an action

PageContext.UnregisterUIAction("highlight_row");

Signal page ready (Blazor Server and MAUI Blazor Hybrid only)

On WebAssembly SignalReady() is a no-op and costs nothing, so you can keep the call in pages shared with a Blazor Server host:

protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
    await LoadDataAsync();
    PageContext.SignalReady();   // Blazor Server, MAUI Blazor Hybrid: tells navigate_to the UI actions are ready. WASM: no-op
}

What matters on WebAssembly is when the server learns about the page. Its name, data and UI actions reach the server only with the page-context snapshot sent before the user's next message (UpdatePageContext). So when the assistant moves the user with navigate_to, the server does not wait for the new page — even on a [MentorPage] with HasUIActions = true, because on a hub connection nothing could ever signal it. The new page's UI actions become callable from the user's next message, not later in the same answer.

(On Blazor Server and in MAUI Blazor Hybrid, where navigate_to does wait on HasUIActions pages, call SignalReady() as the last line of OnInitialized / OnInitializedAsync, not from OnAfterRenderAsync, or the wait may already have timed out.)

---

Page navigation

⚠️ [MentorPage] attributes are defined in the server project (scanned by ScanAssemblies), not in the client project.

// Server project — scanned via options.ScanAssemblies
[MentorPage(Url = "/orders", Name = "Orders", Description = "Order management")]
public class OrdersPage { }

[MentorPage(Url = "/products", Name = "Products", HasUIActions = true, ReadyTimeout = 3000)]
public class ProductsPage { }

The AI calls navigate_to("/orders") — the WASM widget handles navigation automatically via Blazor's NavigationManager.

HasUIActions and ReadyTimeout only affect hosts where the page runs in the same process as the turn: Blazor Server, or a MAUI Blazor Hybrid app. For a turn that arrives over the hub, navigate_to returns without waiting for SignalReady (it logs this at Debug level), and the new page's UI actions reach the model with the next page-context snapshot, on the user's next message — see Signal page ready.

UI Action overloads reference

Four overloads are available, from simple to fully typed and async:

Overload	Parameter	Execution	Use when
RegisterUIAction(name, desc, Action<object?>)	Raw object?	Synchronous	Simple no-param or legacy code
RegisterUIAction<TParam>(name, desc, Action<TParam>)	Auto-deserialized from JSON	Synchronous	Typed param, sync handler
RegisterUIActionAsync(name, desc, Func<object?, Task>)	Raw object?	Async	No-param async actions (e.g. async _ => { await LoadAsync(); })
RegisterUIActionAsync<TParam>(name, desc, Func<TParam, Task>)	Auto-deserialized from JSON	Async	Typed param, async handler (recommended)
UnregisterUIAction(name)	—	—	Remove a specific action dynamically

Automatic parameterHint generation

For typed overloads, parameterHint is auto-generated from the type when omitted:

TParam	Auto-generated hint
int, long	"integer"
float, double, decimal	"number"
bool	"boolean"
string	"string"
Guid	"string (GUID)"
DateTime	"string (ISO 8601 date)"
Status (enum)	"string (Active\|Inactive\|Pending)"
List<int>	"array<integer>"
OrderFormModel (class)	"{ customerId: integer, productName: string, ... }"

Override only when extra clarity is needed:

.RegisterUIAction<int>(
    "highlight_row", "Highlights an order row",
    id => HighlightRow(id),
    parameterHint: "integer: order ID")  // ← manual override

On WebAssembly the AI does not wait for your handler. The server forwards the call as UIActionRequested and reports the action complete as soon as it is sent. The browser then runs the handler and reports nothing back. As a result, an exception in the handler never reaches the model, and OnUIActionCompleted can fire before an async handler has finished. Make each action self-contained (load what it needs inside the handler) rather than relying on the model to chain actions that depend on the previous one having finished. (On Blazor Server, where the handler runs in-process, async handlers are awaited.)

[MentorPage] parameters (server project)

Parameter	Required	Description
Url	✅	Page URL (e.g. "/orders")
Name	✅	Human-readable page name injected into the system prompt
Description	—	Optional feature description
HasUIActions	—	If true, navigate_to waits for PageContext.SignalReady() before UI actions — only where the page runs in the turn's process: Blazor Server or MAUI Blazor Hybrid. On a hub turn from this WASM client it does not wait: the page's actions arrive with the user's next message. Default: false
ReadyTimeout	—	Timeout in ms for SignalReady() (Blazor Server and MAUI Blazor Hybrid only). Default: 2000

---

All AddMentorAgentBlazor() options

Option	Type	Default	Description
HubUrl	string	"/mentor-hub"	URL of the Novior.MentorAgent.Server SignalR hub. A relative value is resolved against the page's base address. When absolute (http(s)), its origin is also where Stop (/mentor/cancel) and confirmation answers (/mentor/approve) are posted
AccessTokenProvider	Func<Task<string?>>?	null	Bearer token for the hub, read on connect and on every reconnect, and sent as Authorization: Bearer on every Stop and confirmation request. Without it every user is anonymous: RequiredRoles blocked; memory and rate limit are per connection (server default AnonymousIdentity = PerSession) or one shared bucket (Shared)
ConfigureConnection	Action<HttpConnectionOptions>?	null	Escape hatch on the hub's connection options — headers, transports, cookies. Runs after AccessTokenProvider
BotName	string	"Mentor AI"	Bot name in the widget header
WelcomeMessage	string?	null	Welcome message (HTML supported)
ShowAiDisclosure	bool	true	Shows the notice that tells people they are talking to an AI, under the widget's header for the whole conversation. false hides it; the replies' marker stays
AiDisclosureMessage	string?	null	The notice's text, shown as written (as text, never as markup). null or white space: the default, translated into the configured language
AvatarUrl	string?	null	Custom avatar URL
InputPlaceholder	string?	null	Input box placeholder. null uses the localized text in Language ("Write a message..." in English)
Theme	MentorTheme	Default	Widget visual theme
Position	ChatPosition	BottomRight	Widget position on screen
PrimaryColor	string?	null	Custom hex accent color
Language	MentorLanguage	English	Language for widget UI strings (10 languages supported)
EnableVoiceInput	bool	false	Show microphone button (browser Speech Recognition)
EnableVoiceOutput	bool	false	Text-to-speech for AI responses (browser Speech Synthesis)
VoiceStreaming	bool	true	Speak each sentence as it streams instead of reading the finished answer back
VoiceBargeIn	bool	true	Stop playback when the user takes the floor
VoiceHandsFree	bool	false	Voice-only conversation loop. Ignored unless both voice options are on
VoiceRate	double	1.0	SpeechSynthesisUtterance.rate — useful range 0.5–2.0
EnableOnboardingTour	bool	false	Show the guided tour on first open. This flag alone decides: the server answers GET /mentor/tour whatever its own EnableOnboardingTour says
TourUrl	string	"/mentor/tour"	Where to fetch the tour steps from. A relative value is resolved against HubUrl's origin when HubUrl is absolute (the tour is served by the same server as the hub), otherwise against the app base address. An absolute URL is used as-is
EnableSuggestions	bool	false	Suggestion chips in the welcome panel
EnableImageInput	bool	false	Image attachments — 📎 upload, paste, drag & drop and 🔗 URL. Must also be enabled server-side
MaxImageBytes	int	4194304	Client-side size cap per image (4 MB). Mirrors the server option
MaxImagesPerMessage	int	4	Client-side cap on images per message. Mirrors the server option
AllowedImageTypes	List<string>	png, jpeg, gif, webp	Client-side MIME allow-list. Mirrors the server option
ShowRagSources	bool	false	Citation chips below AI responses
ShowHostedToolsStatus	bool	false	Show the hosted-tools badge (provider-side web search / code interpreter / file search / image generation / remote MCP)
HostedTools	MentorHostedTools	None	Pre-connection placeholder only. The server publishes its actual set on HostedToolsDeclared at connect and the widget prefers that — leave this unset rather than keeping a copy that goes stale
ShowMcpStatus	bool	false	Show MCP server connection status badge in the widget header
HasMcpServers	bool	false	Whether the server has MCP client servers configured (enables the MCP badge)
McpServerNames	List<string>	[]	Names of MCP servers configured on the server — pre-populates the badge in "connecting" state at startup
ShowA2AStatus	bool	false	Show A2A remote agent status badge in the widget header
HasRemoteAgents	bool	false	Whether the server has remote A2A agents configured (enables the A2A badge)
RemoteAgentDisplays	List<AgentDisplayInfo>	[]	Remote A2A agents to display in the A2A badge and detail bar

How it works

[Blazor WASM Browser]
  ChatWidget
    ↓ IMentorOrchestrator (WasmMentorOrchestrator)
    ↓ SignalR
[ASP.NET Core Server — Novior.MentorAgent.Server]
  MentorHub
    ↓ MentorOrchestrator (full AI pipeline)
    ↓ AI Provider (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Ollama...)
    ↑ Streaming events (chunks, confirmations, navigation, UI actions...)
    ↑ SignalR
  ChatWidget renders response

• Page context (page name, data, UI action descriptions) is sent to the server before every message via UpdatePageContext.
• UI action invocations arrive from the server as UIActionRequested and are executed locally in the browser by WasmMentorStateService.
• Confirmation dialogs (HITL) are shown inline by ChatWidget. The response is sent via POST /mentor/approve?actionId=...&approved=true|false (HTTP) — not via a hub method. SignalR processes hub messages sequentially per connection, so calling RespondToApproval via hub while SendMessage is awaiting would deadlock. WasmMentorStateService sends it to the hub's origin with the hub's bearer token — see Stop and confirmations.
• Stop (cancelling an in-flight turn) is sent via POST /mentor/cancel?connectionId=... (HTTP) — not via the CancelRequest hub method, for the same sequential-dispatch reason: while SendMessage is streaming, SignalR cannot dispatch another hub invocation on that connection, so the hub call would only run after the turn it was meant to abort. WasmMentorOrchestrator sends it the same way as the approval: to the hub's origin, with the hub's bearer token.
• UI actions after navigate_to: the server does not wait for the new page (nothing on a hub connection can call SignalReady); the page's actions reach the model with the next UpdatePageContext, on the user's next message.
• Navigation triggered by the AI arrives as NavigationRequested and is handled by Blazor's NavigationManager.

Conversation lifetime and session snapshots

The conversation lives on the server, in a DI scope that belongs to one SignalR connection. A reconnect (network drop, server restart, a laptop waking up) gets a new connection id and therefore a new, empty conversation on the server, even though the widget still shows the old messages.

IMentorOrchestrator.SerializeSessionAsync / RestoreSessionAsync throw NotSupportedException on WebAssembly, because the AgentSession is not in the browser. Save and restore it over HTTP instead, with the live connection id. That id is null until the first message opens the connection.

@inject Novior.MentorAgent.Blazor.Hub.MentorHubClient Hub
// BaseAddress = the server, carrying the user's token
@inject HttpClient Http

// Save — 204 means there is no conversation yet: keep what you already have
var save = await Http.GetAsync($"mentor/session?connectionId={Uri.EscapeDataString(Hub.ConnectionId!)}");
if (save.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
    _saved = await save.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

// Restore on the new connection (after its first message; an earlier request can get 404)
await Http.PostAsync($"mentor/session?connectionId={Uri.EscapeDataString(Hub.ConnectionId!)}",
    new StringContent(_saved, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));

Both endpoints check that the caller is the user who opened the connection (401/403 otherwise), before the body is read. The snapshot is opaque — protected with ASP.NET Core Data Protection and bound to that user (on a host without sign-in every visitor is the same anonymous user, so there it is bound to the application only) — so store it as the text GET returned. A body that is not a snapshot this server issued for this user, or was edited, or was saved before 1.0.0-rc.14, is refused with 400 and leaves the live conversation untouched. Restoring after a server restart needs the server's Data Protection key ring persisted (see the Novior.MentorAgent.Server README).

Events — IMentorStateService

ChatWidget handles all events automatically. If you need to subscribe to events directly in your own components, inject IMentorStateService:

@inject IMentorStateService State
@implements IDisposable

protected override void OnInitialized()
{
    State.OnStreamingChunk        += OnChunk;
    State.OnStreamingCompleted    += OnCompleted;
    State.OnBusyChanged           += OnBusy;
    State.OnError                 += OnError;
    State.OnActionExecuting       += OnActionExecuting;
    State.OnActionCompleted       += OnActionCompleted;
    State.OnActionFailed          += OnActionFailed;
    State.OnConfirmationRequired  += OnConfirmationRequired;
    State.OnNavigationRequested   += OnNavigation;
    State.OnRagSourcesReady       += OnRagSources;
    State.OnTeamMemberSpeaking    += OnTeamSpeaking;
    State.OnUIActionExecuting     += OnUIActionStart;
    State.OnUIActionCompleted     += OnUIActionEnd;
}

public void Dispose()
{
    State.OnStreamingChunk        -= OnChunk;
    // ... unsubscribe all
}

Complete event reference

Event	Signature	Fired when	Typical use
OnStreamingChunk	Action<string>	Each streaming token	Append text to a custom chat bubble
OnStreamingCompleted	Action	Full response received	Finalize message, re-enable input
OnBusyChanged	Action<bool>	AI starts/stops processing	Show/hide spinner
OnError	Action<string>	Critical error (rate limit, safety block)	Show error banner
OnActionExecuting	Action<string>	Tool/agent is executing. Carries the text to show (the action's Description, or the routing, team or hosted-tool label), not the tool name	Show action feedback bar. To log which tool ran, use OnActionCompleted, which carries the tool name
OnActionStarted	Action<MentorActionStarted>	Never raised by this client: the hub sends it only the text shown, not the tool name	Record actions on the server, where it is raised with ToolName and DisplayName
OnActionCompleted	Action<string>	Tool execution succeeded	Hide feedback bar
OnActionFailed	Action<string>	Tool execution failed — tool: message; with the server's OnException set, never the exception's own text	Show error in feedback
OnConfirmationRequired	Action<ConfirmationRequest>	Destructive action needs user approval	Show custom confirmation dialog
OnApprovalResponse	Action<ConfirmationRequest, bool>	The answer reached the waiting turn: raised once the server accepted it, never after Stop or for a second answer	An audit trail of decisions
OnNavigationRequested	Action<string>	AI triggered navigation	Custom routing logic
OnRagSourcesReady	Action<IReadOnlyList<MentorRagResult>>	RAG documents the finished answer cited (plus hosted web/file-search citations); not raised when nothing was cited	Show custom citation UI
OnTeamMemberSpeaking	Action<string, string>	GroupChat member speaking	Show "Team · Role" feedback
OnUIActionExecuting	Action<string>	UI action started	Custom feedback
OnUIActionCompleted	Action<string>	UI action completed	Custom feedback
OnMcpServerStatusChanged	Action<string, bool>	MCP server connects (true) or disconnects (false)	Update the MCP status badge — forwarded over the hub as McpServerStatusChanged
OnCardsReady	Action<IReadOnlyList<MentorCard>>	A tool returned generative-UI cards	Render them yourself instead of using CardTemplate
OnGeneratedImages	Action<IReadOnlyList<string>>	The hosted image tool produced images	Show them in your own gallery. Each string is a data: URI or URL
OnHostedToolsDeclared	Action<MentorHostedTools>	Once per connection, right after connect	Drive your own capability badge from what the server actually enabled, rather than from a client-side guess

    private void Images(IReadOnlyList<string> urls) { _images = urls; InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged); }

    private async Task OnCardAction(MentorCardAction action)
    {
        if (action.Kind == MentorCardActionKind.SendMessage) await Orchestrator.SendMessageAsync(action.Value);
        else if (action.Kind == MentorCardActionKind.Navigate) Nav.NavigateTo(action.Value);
        // UIAction: run the current page's registered action named action.Value, as ChatWidget does

    public void Dispose()
    {

        State.OnCardsReady             -= Cards;
        State.OnMcpServerStatusChanged -= Mcp;
    }
}

All eighteen events are listed above — that is the whole of IMentorStateService's read side.

All events fire on a background thread from the SignalR connection. Always use InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged) when updating Blazor component state from these handlers.

Sending state changes — the Notify* side

Each event has a matching Notify* method on the same interface (NotifyStreamingChunk, NotifyCardsReady, …). Those are how the orchestrator raises the events; application code subscribes and does not call them.

The two members you do call are the HITL replies:

Method	Purpose
ConfirmAsync(Guid actionId)	Approve the pending action
Cancel(Guid actionId)	Reject it

actionId is ConfirmationRequest.ActionId from OnConfirmationRequired. In WASM these travel to the server over POST /mentor/approve (at the hub's origin, with the AccessTokenProvider token — see Stop and confirmations), never as a hub method — SignalR dispatches one hub call at a time per connection, so an approval sent through the hub would deadlock behind the turn that is waiting for it.

Custom HITL confirmation dialog

ChatWidget always shows its own inline confirmation prompt when OnConfirmationRequired fires, and no parameter turns it off. Subscribing therefore adds your dialog next to the widget's prompt instead of replacing it. Answering from your dialog also does not close the widget's prompt, which reacts only to its own buttons. To show only your dialog, hide the built-in prompt with CSS (.bm-confirm { display: none !important; }: the package stylesheet sets display: flex on the same selector), then subscribe to OnConfirmationRequired and call ConfirmAsync / Cancel yourself.

This works identically whichever MentorOptions.HitlMode the server uses (Blocking or the Agent Framework's Native flow) — the WASM client sees the same ConfirmationRequired event and replies over the same POST /mentor/approve endpoint, so switching mode server-side needs no client change.

@inject IMentorStateService State
@implements IDisposable

@if (_pendingConfirmation is not null)
{
    <div class="my-confirm-dialog">
        <p>@_pendingConfirmation.Message</p>
        <button @onclick="Approve">Conferma</button>
        <button @onclick="Reject">Annulla</button>
    </div>
}

@code {
    private ConfirmationRequest? _pendingConfirmation;

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        State.OnConfirmationRequired += OnConfirmationRequired;
        State.OnBusyChanged          += OnBusyChanged;
    }

    private void OnConfirmationRequired(ConfirmationRequest req)
        => InvokeAsync(() => { _pendingConfirmation = req; StateHasChanged(); });

    // The turn is over (answered, stopped or failed): nothing waits for this dialog any more.
    private void OnBusyChanged(bool busy)
    {
        if (!busy) InvokeAsync(() => { _pendingConfirmation = null; StateHasChanged(); });
    }

    private async Task Approve()
    {
        if (_pendingConfirmation is not { } req) return;
        _pendingConfirmation = null;
        await State.ConfirmAsync(req.ActionId);
    }

    private void Reject()
    {
        if (_pendingConfirmation is not { } req) return;
        _pendingConfirmation = null;
        State.Cancel(req.ActionId);
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        State.OnConfirmationRequired -= OnConfirmationRequired;
        State.OnBusyChanged          -= OnBusyChanged;
    }
}

Close the dialog on the click and when the turn ends, as here. OnApprovalResponse is raised only when the answer reached a turn that was waiting for it, so it suits an audit trail of decisions, not closing a dialog: a click after Stop raises nothing.

// An audit trail: one entry per answer that a waiting turn received
State.OnApprovalResponse += (req, approved) =>
    logger.LogInformation("{Tool} {Decision} by the user", req.ToolName, approved ? "approved" : "rejected");

ConfirmationRequest has three properties: ActionId (Guid), ToolName (string), and Message (string). Use ToolName to customize the dialog copy per action type if needed.

Blazor Auto tip

In a Blazor Auto app, you can keep <ChatWidget /> with @rendermode="InteractiveServer" — it stays server-side with no changes to your existing Novior.MentorAgent setup. Use Novior.MentorAgent.Blazor only when you need the widget to run fully in WebAssembly.

This needs the template's Interactivity location: Per page/component. With Global the layout runs under Auto and, once in WebAssembly, cannot host a server component (NotSupportedException): use Novior.MentorAgent.Blazor there. In the WebAssembly template, first add .AddInteractiveServerComponents() and .AddInteractiveServerRenderMode() to the server's Program.cs, or every page fails with HTTP 500.

@* Keep server-side in Blazor Auto — zero changes needed *@
<ChatWidget @rendermode="InteractiveServer" />
