## Summary
- **Collapsible thinking**: Replace `<section>` with `<details>` for
`<think>` content, so model thinking output is collapsed by default
(click to expand). Works for all models that output `<think>` tags
(Qwen3, DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude, etc.).
- **Fix double thinking tags**: When reasoning/deep research mode is
enabled in knowledge base chat, both the retrieval progress and model
thinking were wrapped in `<think>` tags, producing two "Thinking..."
blocks. Now retrieval progress uses a dedicated `<retrieving>` tag
rendered as a separate "Retrieving..." collapsible with a distinct green
accent.
### Before
- Thinking content displayed as flat gray-bordered `<section>`,
occupying significant screen space
- Deep research + model thinking both use `<think>` → two identical
"Thinking..." blocks
### After
- Thinking content collapsed by default in a `<details>` element, click
"Thinking..." to expand
- Deep research shows "Retrieving..." (green border), model thinking
shows "Thinking..." (gray border)
## Changes
**Backend (`api/db/services/dialog_service.py`)**
- Deep research callback: replace `start_to_think`/`end_to_think` marker
flags with direct `<retrieving>`/`</retrieving>` answer text
**Frontend**
- `web/src/utils/chat.ts`: `replaceThinkToSection()` now uses
`<details>` instead of `<section>`; add new
`replaceRetrievingToSection()`
- 4 tsx files: import and pipe `replaceRetrievingToSection`, whitelist
`details`, `summary`, `retrieving` in DOMPurify `ADD_TAGS`
- 4 less files: `section.think` → `details.think` with `<summary>`
styles; add `details.retrieving` with green accent; dark mode and RTL
variants
## Test plan
- [ ] Open a chat WITHOUT knowledge base, ask a question to a model with
thinking (e.g. Qwen3) → thinking content should be collapsed by default,
click "Thinking..." to expand
- [ ] Open a chat WITH knowledge base and reasoning enabled, ask a
question → "Retrieving..." (green) shows retrieval progress,
"Thinking..." (gray) shows model thinking, each independently
collapsible
- [ ] Verify dark mode renders correctly for both collapsible blocks
- [ ] Verify RTL layout renders correctly

### What problem does this PR solve?
Currently, RAGFlow's Search and Chat interfaces display only raw
vectorized text chunks during retrieval, without contextual information
about their source documents. Users cannot see document titles, page
numbers, upload dates, or custom metadata fields that would help them
understand and trust the retrieved results.
This PR introduces an **optional metadata display feature** that
enriches retrieved chunks with document-level metadata in both the
Search tab and Chatbot interface.
**Key improvements:**
- **Search results**: Display document metadata as styled badges beneath
chunk snippets
- **Chat citations**: Show metadata in citation popovers and reference
lists for better source context
- **LLM context**: Metadata is injected into the LLM prompt to enable
more accurate, citation-aware responses
- **External API support**: Applications using RAGFlow's SDK retrieval
endpoints (`/v1/retrieval`, `/v1/searchbots/retrieval_test`) can opt-in
via request parameters
- **User control**: Multi-select dropdown UI allows users to choose
which metadata fields to display
**Implementation approach:**
- ✅ Reuses existing `DocMetadataService` infrastructure (no new database
tables or indices)
- ✅ Settings stored in existing JSON configuration fields
(`search_config.reference_metadata`, `prompt_config.reference_metadata`)
- ✅ No database migrations required
- ✅ Disabled by default (fully opt-in and backward-compatible)
- ✅ Dynamic metadata field selection populated from actual document
metadata keys
- ✅ Fixed critical bug where Python's builtin `set()` was shadowed by a
route handler function
**Modified endpoints (all backward-compatible):**
- `POST /v1/retrieval` (Public SDK)
- `POST /v1/searchbots/retrieval_test` (Searchbots)
- `POST /v1/chunk/retrieval_test` (UI/Internal)
- Chat completions endpoints (via `extra_body.reference_metadata` or
`prompt_config`)

### What problem does this PR solve?
This PR adds comprehensive **Right-to-Left (RTL) language support**,
primarily targeting Arabic and other RTL scripts (Hebrew, Persian, Urdu,
etc.).
Previously, RTL content had multiple rendering issues:
- Incorrect sentence splitting for Arabic punctuation in citation logic
- Misaligned text in chat messages and markdown components
- Improper positioning of blockquotes and “think” sections
- Incorrect table alignment
- Citation placement ambiguity in RTL prompts
- UI layout inconsistencies when mixing LTR and RTL text
This PR introduces backend and frontend improvements to properly detect,
render, and style RTL content while preserving existing LTR behavior.
#### Backend
- Updated sentence boundary regex in `rag/nlp/search.py` to include
Arabic punctuation:
- `،` (comma)
- `؛` (semicolon)
- `؟` (question mark)
- `۔` (Arabic full stop)
- Ensures citation insertion works correctly in RTL sentences.
- Updated citation prompt instructions to clarify citation placement
rules for RTL languages.
#### Frontend
- Introduced a new utility: `text-direction.ts`
- Detects text direction based on Unicode ranges.
- Supports Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Thaana, and related scripts.
- Provides `getDirAttribute()` for automatic `dir` assignment.
- Applied dynamic `dir` attributes across:
- Markdown rendering
- Chat messages
- Search results
- Tables
- Hover cards and reference popovers
- Added proper RTL styling in LESS:
- Text alignment adjustments
- Blockquote border flipping
- Section indentation correction
- Table direction switching
- Use of `<bdi>` for figure labels to prevent bidirectional conflicts
#### DevOps / Environment
- Added Windows backend launch script with retry handling.
- Updated dependency metadata.
- Adjusted development-only React debugging behavior.
