The base URL passed to LlamaCloudIndex was built using .hostname, which strips the scheme (e.g. "api.cloud.llamaindex.ai" instead of "https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai"). This produced a malformed URL when the LlamaCloud SDK later concatenated it with a request path, causing a Node ERR_INVALID_URL error on every generateResponse() call.

Because this error was silently caught and swallowed, the app fell back to DefaultResponseService's hardcoded template answers instead of surfacing the failure — so response generation appeared to work, but returned generic, topic-mismatched boilerplate instead of real AI-generated, source-grounded answers.

Fix: use .origin instead of .hostname to preserve the URL scheme. Also corrected the accompanying comment, which incorrectly described the expected value as a bare hostname.

Reproduction: select any populated LlamaCloud index, extract questions from an RFP, and click Generate — responses returned unrelated boilerplate text (e.g. a payload-capacity question answered with content about REST APIs and OAuth) while console.error logged "Falling back to default response due to error" with code: 'ERR_INVALID_URL'.

Fixes #50
