## HTMX Integration Points

All HTMX endpoints are wired as per Socrates' spec:

```html
<!-- Post list filter -->
hx-get="/admin/blog/posts" hx-target="#post-list-container"

<!-- Auto-save draft (3s debounce) -->
hx-patch="/api/blog/admin/posts/{slug}" 

<!-- Live preview (500ms debounce) -->
hx-post="/api/blog/admin/posts/preview" hx-target="#preview-content"

<!-- Publish/unpublish -->
hx-post="/api/blog/admin/posts/{slug}/publish"

<!-- Rebuild/deploy (sidebar actions) -->
hx-post="/api/blog/admin/rebuild"
hx-post="/api/blog/admin/deploy"

<!-- Delete post -->
hx-delete="/api/blog/admin/posts/{slug}"
```

## Notes for Socrates

1. **Filters**: The status filter on post list uses query param `?status=` (empty for all)

2. **Auto-save**: Editor auto-saves drafts every 3 seconds via PATCH to post endpoint

3. **New post creation**: On successful POST, editor redirects to edit page with new slug

4. **Slug generation**: Client-side from title on blur, but backend should sanitize

5. **Template filters expected**:
   - `relative_time` - "2 minutes ago", "3 hours ago", etc.
   - `filesize` - "1.2 MB", "340 KB", etc.
   - `safe` - for rendered HTML in preview

6. **CSS Variables**: All using `--admin-*` prefix to avoid conflicts with blog.css

## Next Steps

1. **Socrates**: Wire templates into FastAPI/Jinja2
2. **Testing**: Verify all HTMX endpoints work as expected
3. **Polish**: Mobile responsiveness pass if needed

**Ready for integration.**
