Walkthrough
I've resolved the issue where the Local department button was incorrectly reporting empty input and the GUI wasn't resetting properly after a project clear.
Changes Made
Brittle Check Removed: The system no longer looks for the keyword "Type". This was causing false-positives if your actual query mentioned things like "data type" or "type of model".
Exact Placeholder Matching: The code now performs an exact comparison against the defined placeholder strings (Type Local request here...), ensuring that any actual user text—even if it contains the word "type"—is accepted.
Auto-Clearing Placeholders: Added FocusIn events to both input boxes. The placeholder text now automatically vanishes when you click the box, so you don't have to manually delete it.
Auto-Restoring Placeholders: If you click away and haven't typed anything, the placeholder safely returns.
GUI Reset Synchronization: When you click
Verification Results
Validation Test: Verified that input_widget.get("1.0", "end-1c") is used to avoid trailing newline issues during validation.
Placeholder Test: Clicking into the box clears the prompt; clicking out restores it if empty.
Clear Test: Confirmed
confirm_clear_blackboard
now triggers a GUI clear.
