HTMX Integration Points

All HTMX endpoints are wired as per Socrates' spec:

<!-- 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.
