 ### Ajouté
 
+- **#82 Assistant IA — Section « Fournisseur & modèle » compacte** — la barre de sélection du
+  modèle devient **discrète** : la liste complète des types d'endpoints (Chat, Embeddings, Vision…)
+  est remplacée par un **bouton d'information ⓘ** qui affiche les capacités dans une **bulle** au
+  survol, au clic ou par **appui long** (mobile). Le choix du modèle passe par une **liste
+  déroulante avec recherche** (filtrage insensible aux accents) au lieu d'un `<select>` natif, tout
+  en conservant un select masqué pour les commandes admin (`/model`). Le picker partagé
+  (`frontend/js/ai.js`) est utilisé par l'assistant et la barre d'édition IA. Tests JSDOM
+  (`tests/frontend/ai.test.mjs` +1).

 - **#81 Assistant IA — Commandes `@`/`/`, skills, images & capacités des modèles** — l'assistant

 ### Corrigé
 
+- **BUG-007 — Assistant IA : menus `/` et `@` (navigation ↑/↓ et filtrage accentué)** — la
+  détection des commandes/mentions et le filtrage des skills utilisaient des motifs ASCII
+  (`[a-z0-9-]`, `\w`) : dès qu'un caractère accentué était saisi (`/résumé`, `@café`), le menu se
+  fermait. Les motifs sont désormais **Unicode** (`\p{L}`) et la recherche est **insensible aux
+  accents** (normalisation NFD). La navigation clavier est fiabilisée par un **jeton de séquence**
+  qui ignore les rendus asynchrones obsolètes (frappe rapide) et fait défiler l'élément actif dans
+  la vue (`scrollIntoView`). Tests JSDOM (`tests/frontend/ai.test.mjs` +3).
+
+- **BUG-008 — Assistant IA : commande `@` et contexte ad-hoc en mode Général** — deux causes :
+  (1) le backend ignorait les fichiers/répertoires ad-hoc en mode Général car `_resolve_system_prompt`
+  ne résolvait pas de vault (`backend/bookslm_routes.py`) ; le vault optionnel est maintenant résolu
+  dès que du contexte `@` est présent. (2) sans vault courant, la recherche de mention échouait ;
+  elle bascule désormais sur `vault=all`. Tests backend (`tests/test_bookslm.py` +2) et frontend.

+# #82 — Assistant IA — Section « Fournisseur & modèle » compacte
+
+> **Statut :** ✅ Livré (en attente de validation utilisateur)
+> **Effort :** 1 jour | **Impact :** 🟢
+> **Références :** [Roadmap](../ROADMAP.md) · [Assistant IA #81](./ai-assistant-commands.md) · [Changelog](../../CHANGELOG.md)
+
+- **Description :** rendre la barre de sélection du modèle de l'assistant IA **plus discrète** tout
+  en conservant les informations utiles :
+  1. **Capacités via bulle** — la liste complète des types d'endpoints (Chat, Embeddings, Rerank,
+     Images, Video, Audio Speech, Audio Transcriptions, Vision) n'est plus affichée en permanence.
+     Un bouton **ⓘ** révèle une bulle d'information au **survol**, au **clic** ou par **appui long**
+     (mobile).
+  2. **Recherche de modèle** — le `<select>` natif est remplacé par une liste déroulante compacte
+     dotée d'un **champ de recherche** qui filtre les modèles en tapant (insensible à la casse et
+     aux accents).
+  3. **Compatibilité** — un `<select class="ai-picker-model">` masqué reste présent (source de
+     vérité) pour les commandes admin `/model` et l'état persisté `obsigate_ai_picker`.
+
+## A. Picker partagé — ✅ livré
+- [x] `frontend/js/ai.js` : `buildAIPickerUI()` réécrit (provider compact + combobox modèle + bulle
+      capacités). Le picker reste partagé par l'assistant (`bookslm.js`) et la barre d'édition IA.
+- [x] `renderCapabilityList()` conservé et affiché dans la bulle (le panneau de configuration
+      `#cfg-ai-default-model-caps` continue de l'utiliser directement).
+- [x] Fermeture des popovers au clic extérieur via un unique listener délégué (pas de fuite).
+- [x] i18n FR/EN (`ai.model_search`, `ai.model_info`).
+
+## B. Correctifs associés — ✅ livré
+- [x] **BUG-007** — détection `/` et `@` Unicode + filtrage insensible aux accents + navigation
+      clavier ↑/↓ fiabilisée (jeton de séquence, `scrollIntoView`).
+- [x] **BUG-008** — contexte ad-hoc `@` pris en compte en mode Général côté backend
+      (`backend/bookslm_routes.py`) et recherche de mention sur `vault=all` sans vault courant.
+
+## C. Tests — ✅ livré
+- [x] `tests/frontend/ai.test.mjs` : filtrage accentué, mentions accentuées, navigation ↑/↓,
+      recherche de modèle + bulle de capacités.
+- [x] `tests/test_bookslm.py` : contexte ad-hoc en mode Général (`/chat`).
+
+## D. Points d'attention
+- La table de capacités reste **statique** (`backend/model_capabilities.py`) : un modèle inconnu
+  retombe sur le défaut du fournisseur.
+- Le select masqué est conservé uniquement pour la rétro-compatibilité ; ne pas le supprimer sans
+  migrer `_cmdSwitchModel` / `_applyPickerSelection` dans `frontend/js/bookslm.js`.
