Soffi AI SummaryThis PR introduces a self-service subagent to the AI workbench, enabling it to fulfill infrastructure requests through existing Plural catalogs and PR automations rather than always delegating to a coding agent. When a user's task maps to a known "golden path" (e.g., provisioning a database or deploying a service via a catalog template), the new subagent discovers the right PR automation, inspects its configuration, and opens the PR directly — without requiring custom code generation. Why this was done: Many common infrastructure requests are already covered by pre-defined PR automations and catalog items. Routing all such requests through the coding agent is slower and more expensive (in LLM tokens/cost) than invoking the established self-service workflow directly. This subagent adds a structured shortcut for those cases. Key changes:

ai will screw this up a lot, but this should ideally be a with comprehension

Just changed it to a with using tagged failure cases

This should be have two things:
- Be a stream so the list is set up lazily
- Have it factored in a single pipeline, can use Enum.concat into Jason.encode

just made the fallback search more functional. for the streams, do you mean lazy load from the db or just when combining lists?

ultimately not a huge deal here, but Enum.map materializes a new list (alongside really all enum mod functions). For something that could be large enumerations, Stream equivalents is lazy and more memory efficient

all queries in this function should have a limit (maybe 100)

Workbench jobs can now provision infrastructure through existing Plural catalogs and PR automations instead of routing every request to the coding agent. When a task maps cleanly to a golden path, the self-service subagent finds the right automation, inspects it, and opens the PR directly.
