​
Why This Matters

The customer support chatbot is the first touchpoint many guests have with House of Legends outside the booking flow. A hallucinated policy, a slow response, or a security gap erodes trust before a guest walks through the door. This document tracks what was tested, what broke, what was fixed, and what remains open.

​
Approach

Test against the live endpoint. Identify issues. Fix. Deploy. Re-test.

​
Initial Assessment

12/12 functional queries answered successfully on the streaming endpoint. Average response time was approximately 9.5 seconds (range: 3.3s to 29.8s). The demo endpoint using Gemma 4B was essentially non-functional for real queries. Security baseline showed 0 critical or high vulnerabilities and 1 medium finding (CORS).

​
Changes Made

​
Security Fixes

  • CORS intentionally remains wildcard-origin capable per current user requirement (worker.ts + ai/index.ts)
  • Generic error responses replace Zod internals (defaultHook on aiRouter)
  • Model name removed from demo response (agent.mapper.ts + schema)

​
Agent Prompt Improvements

  • Food/menu guidance now describes a curated set menu with 3-5 courses of Vietnamese and international fusion
  • Pricing clarity: prompt enforces “ALWAYS clarify that ALL prices are per person”
  • Availability disclaimer: prompt adds “subject to availability at time of booking”
  • Vietnamese URL routing: /vi/ for Vietnamese, /en/ for English
  • PII transparency: explains that guest info goes to staff with a 24-hour response commitment
  • Absolute URLs in all booking links
  • Warmer first-response welcome

​
Knowledge Base Updates

FileChange
customer-support.mdxAdded “What is the dinner like?” section, availability disclaimer, per-person pricing, PII transparency section
booking-flow.mdxAdded per-person pricing note, menu update note
agent-tool-boundaries.mdxAdded availability disclaimer in safe response pattern, URL routing rules

​
Backend Fixes

Vietnamese URL locale passed through the full booking-options tool chain (schema, route, service, Mastra tool). OpenAPI spec and Fern client regenerated.

June 3, 2026 — Round 2 Improvements

​
What Changed

Three focused improvements targeting response quality and knowledge efficiency.

​
1. Knowledge Prompt Compilation Cleanup

File: apps/hono/src/services/ai/knowledge.service.ts The compiled knowledge prompt was including raw MDX frontmatter (---title...status---), markdownlint-disable comments, and internal ## Source Docs sections verbatim in every prompt sent to the model. This wasted tokens and risked confusing the model with metadata noise. Fix: Added stripKnowledgeBody() helper that strips MDX frontmatter blocks, markdownlint-disable comments, and Source Docs sections before compilation. Estimated token savings: 15-20% reduction in knowledge prompt size.

​
2. Proactive Recommendations

File: apps/mastra/src/mastra/agents/customer-support-router-agent.ts The “What Should I Do Tonight?” flow previously started by asking 2 preference questions before calling any tools. This caused unnecessary friction — guests asking for “a romantic date night” got questions back instead of recommendations. Fix: When the guest provides ANY context (romantic, date night, family, cultural, lively, dinner), the bot now immediately calls listUpcomingEvents and recommends 1-2 shows with pricing and booking URLs. Preference questions are only asked when the guest gives zero context whatsoever.

​
3. Warm Conversation Closing

File: apps/mastra/src/mastra/agents/customer-support-router-agent.ts After providing a booking URL, the bot was asking “Shall I help you with anything else, or are you ready to book?” — a pushy question that undermines conversion. Guests who received pricing and a booking link are ready to act. Fix: The bot now ends with a warm closing (“Looking forward to welcoming you!” or “Enjoy the show!”) after providing booking links. The friendly follow-up question is preserved for non-booking conversations.

​
4. Input Validation Hardening

File: apps/mastra/src/chat/chat-route.ts Added validation to reject message arrays that contain no user messages. This prevents potential context manipulation via assistant-only message injection.
