Signal

Signal is Enia's proactive detection system that identifies issues in your code and presents ready-to-apply solutions — without you having to ask.

How Signal Works

Detection Trigger

Signal detection is triggered when:

1. Automatic: All operations stop for 2 seconds (typing, scrolling, file switching, etc.)
2. Manual: Press Option+Cmd+E (macOS) or Alt+Ctrl+E (Windows/Linux)

What Signal Detects

Signal focuses on high-value issues with clear solutions:

Category	Examples
Security	SQL injection, XSS vulnerabilities, insecure data handling
Performance	Memory leaks, inefficient loops, unnecessary re-renders
Error Handling	Missing try-catch, unhandled promise rejections
Code Quality	Dead code, redundant logic, missing null checks
Best Practices	API misuse, deprecated patterns, team conventions

Signal Card

When an issue is detected, a Signal card appears near the problematic code.

Card Actions

Action	Description
Apply	Apply the fix immediately, create a Task
Ask How	Open Chat with Signal context for discussion
Close	Close the Signal card

Signal Bubble

Signal Bubble is an AI-driven suggestion bubble shown above the chat input that allows users to instantly turn recommended actions into executable tasks.

Bubble Actions

Action	Description
Close	Temporarily close the Signal Pick panel and wait for new bubbles to appear
Apply	Immediately create a Task and start execution
No Action	If no action is taken within 3 minutes, the bubble will be automatically removed

Signal Bubble vs Signal Card

• Both belong to the same Signal system, sharing detection capabilities, quota usage, execution workflow, and context support.
• If a Signal Card has already surfaced the same issue near the code editor, Signal Bubble will not repeat the recommendation.
• They have different focuses. Signal Cards are code-local suggestions, while Signal Bubbles surface longer-range suggestions based on broader task or conversation context.

Request Consumption

Action	Consumption
Recommendation Generation (same as Signal)	Does not consume user Requests, but uses 1 Signal quota
Apply (Create Task)	Consumes 1 Request
Dismiss	No consumption

Using Signal Effectively

Best Practices

1. Trust but verify: Review the Task output after Apply
2. Ask for complex issues: Get more context before making changes

When to Close

• You intentionally wrote the code that way
• The suggestion doesn't fit your use case
• You want to address it later

Signal Limits

Signal detection counts against your monthly quota:

Plan	Signal Detections / Month
Free Trial	10
Partner	16
Partner Pro	50
Ultra	200

Note: Clicking Apply consumes 1 Request (to execute the Task).
