The platform lacked basic social interaction handling. Users greeting the agent (e.g., "اهلا", "hello") received generic unknown intent responses.

Changes

Core Intent System

• Added GREETING intent type to IntentType enum
• Extended keyword matching: Arabic (اهلا, مرحبا, السلام عليكم, صباح الخير, etc.) and English (hello, hi, hey, good morning, etc.)
• Added bilingual greeting responses via generate_response()

Intelligence Core Integration

• Updated _select_tools() to handle greeting intent (requires no tools)
• Added greeting execution plan with single-step response generation
• Fixed English response handling to use IntentType.GREETING.value for consistency

Testing

• Added test_detect_greeting_arabic() and test_detect_greeting_english() covering common greeting phrases

Example

core = IntelligenceCore()
result = await core.process_request("اهلا")
# Returns: "أهلاً وسهلاً! أنا وكيل ذكي جاهز لمساعدتك. كيف يمكنني خدمتك اليوم؟"
# Intent: greeting, Tools: []

result = await core.process_request("hello")  
# Returns: "Hello! I'm an intelligent AI agent ready to assist you. How can I help you today?"

Greeting detection occurs in detect_intent() before other intent patterns, ensuring greetings are recognized regardless of additional context in the message.
