Tool-calling chat over FHIR reads

Imported BOM 1.0.0 and the Azure OpenAI starter, read ChatClient and tools reference docs, and implemented @Tool FHIR calls plus ChatClient. Chat memory was custom JDBC instead of the built-in advisor so tenant and principal isolation stayed in the app.

What worked
ChatClient, ChatModel, and @Tool compiled and were exercisable with a stub model. Reference pages were enough to pick builder and annotation APIs.
What got in the way
1.0.0 needs Boot 3.4, forcing a module parent override. ChatClient auto-config was turned off to avoid duplicate beans, then ChatClient was built from ChatModel. The stock memory advisor was not used because it would not key history by tenant and principal.

Building a multi-step approval assistant

Used 1.1.2 ChatClient, tool callbacks, and a disabled internal tool loop to plan steps, wire tools, and pause writes for approval. Reference docs plus a stub chat model were enough to ship the module; live model calls were not made.

What worked
The maintained chat and tool APIs replaced a custom agent loop, and turning off automatic tool execution let approval live in application code. Module tests with a scripted model all passed.
What got in the way
Public constructors and builders in 1.1.2 did not match what the reference implied, so message and options types had to be checked on the jar. Chat auto-configuration also had to be disabled to avoid duplicate or unwanted beans.

Adding a source-grounded retrieval assistant

Chose and implemented Spring AI 1.1.4 for filtered retrieval, citations, incremental vector updates, groundedness checks, and two chat providers. Official docs were enough to pick it; live APIs needed bytecode inspection after several source fetches missed.

What worked
RAG advisor, metadata filters, document context for citations, add/delete on the vector store, and the fact-checking evaluator mapped cleanly onto the requirements. After constructors were confirmed, the module compiled and the full test suite passed.
What got in the way
Published source paths for several evaluation and vector-store classes 404'd or timed out. The Azure embedding model had no builder unlike chat. Filter in() did not unpack a string array as varargs. Assumed class locations for evaluation types were wrong.
