Query arguement in retriever.get_chat_history() seems a bit ambiguous. Hence it can be removed.

Hi @shreehari-aiplanet Do you mean to remove the query at https://github.com/aiplanethub/genai-stack/blob/f15b5b32aa7471535889d24845658ace98ccf614/genai_stack/retriever/base.py#L42?

or to remove at https://github.com/aiplanethub/genai-stack/blob/f15b5b32aa7471535889d24845658ace98ccf614/genai_stack/retriever/base.py#L38

@dyaramatreya It needs to be removed wherever it is declared. Retreiver's basically getting the chat history from memory. A mediator between them is responsible for the interaction between memory and retriever to get the chat history. Hence it needs to be removed from more than 2 places.

@shreehari-aiplanet So basically, we have to delete this retriever.get_chat_history() method definition as well as the places where it is used. Am I correct?

[shreehari-aiplanet]

No, get_chat_history() method should exist and the query parameter that is being passed to it should be removed.

Ok @shreehari-aiplanet. Can I try working on this? Can you assign this issue to me? I'll make the changes and raise the PR

But then the query parameter passed at https://github.com/aiplanethub/genai-stack/blob/f15b5b32aa7471535889d24845658ace98ccf614/genai_stack/stack/mediator.py#L72 must also be removed right?
