INTENT-3: required_slots and union slot sets for template intents

[JarbasAl]

Extracts the OVOS-INTENT-3 half of the union-slots / required_slots work into its own one-file PR (per 1 file, 1 PR).

Changes (ovos-intent-3.md)

• §5.1 — a template intent's templates MAY declare different slot sets; the engine extracts only the slots of the best-matching template (OVOS-INTENT-1 §5.5).
• §5.3 (new) — required_slots: an optional list of slot names the engine MUST extract for a match to be valid. A required slot must be declared by at least one template, otherwise the definition is malformed. Former §5.3 (Example) → §5.4, §5.4 (.blacklist) → §5.5; references updated.
• §7.1 — a handler MAY rely on required_slots being populated; all other slots remain optional and must be defended against.

Companion one-file PRs: INTENT-1 (union slots §5.5), INTENT-4 (required_slots payload + §6.2/§6.3), PIPELINE-1 (orchestrator backstop §6.2).

Warning

Review limit reached

@JarbasAl, we couldn't start this review because you've reached your PR review rate limit.

More reviews will be available in 39 minutes. Learn how PR review limits work.

Your organization has run out of usage credits. Purchase more credits in the billing tab to continue.

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based credits.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please see our Fair Usage Limits Policy for further information.
