Description
By default the AI assistant will attach a user's whole job code to the request. But this could be large - especially if the code includes large data structures, as it often does.
It would be need if
- When the user selects text, only that code is sent to the model
- This is communicated somehow
One way to communicate this would be to use #2935 and instead of a code checkbox, you do "All Code" by default, and "Selected code" when the user highlights text.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #2935 and tracing the current AI assistant request flow to see how whole-job code is attached and how the code option is communicated. Define the selected-text and no-selection behaviors, then verify that the interface clearly distinguishes “All Code” from “Selected code” and that only the intended code is sent.
