## Component Structure

### Main Component: `Images.tsx`

**File**: `frontend/src/pages/Writer/Images.tsx`  
**Lines**: 738 total  
**Purpose**: Main page component managing all image-related operations

#### Component Hierarchy

```
Images (Page Component)
├── PageHeader (with navigation tabs)
├── TablePageTemplate (main data table)
│   ├── Filter UI
│   ├── Table Rows (ContentImagesGroup)
│   ├── Pagination Controls
│   └── Action Buttons (Row & Bulk Actions)
├── ImageQueueModal (image generation progress)
├── SingleRecordStatusUpdateModal (status updates)
└── Modal (image preview)
```

### Configuration Components

#### 1. **images.config.tsx**
- Defines page columns (featured image, in-article images 1-5+)
- Filter configurations (search, status)
- Header metrics (calculations)
- Column rendering functions

#### 2. **table-actions.config.tsx**

  ```typescript
  shouldShow: (row: any) => {
    return row.status === 'published' && 
           (!row.external_id || !row.external_url) &&
           (!row.sync_status || row.sync_status !== 'published');
  }
  ```

```typescript
import {
  fetchContentImages,              // GET /v1/writer/images/content_images/
  ContentImagesGroup,              // Type definition
  ContentImagesResponse,           // Type definition
  fetchImageGenerationSettings,    // GET /v1/system/integrations/image_generation/
  generateImages,                  // POST /v1/writer/images/generate_images/

  ContentImage,                    // Type definition
  fetchAPI,                        // Unified API fetch wrapper
} from '../../services/api';
```

### API Function Definitions (From api.ts)

#### 1. **fetchContentImages()**

```typescript
export async function fetchContentImages(
  filters: ContentImagesFilters = {}
): Promise<ContentImagesResponse> {
  const params = new URLSearchParams();
  
  // Auto-inject site filter
  if (!filters.site_id) {
    const activeSiteId = getActiveSiteId();
    if (activeSiteId) {
      filters.site_id = activeSiteId;
    }
  }
  
  // Auto-inject sector filter
  if (filters.sector_id === undefined) {
    const activeSectorId = getActiveSectorId();
    if (activeSectorId !== null && activeSectorId !== undefined) {
      filters.sector_id = activeSectorId;
    }
  }
  
  if (filters.site_id) params.append('site_id', filters.site_id.toString());
  if (filters.sector_id) params.append('sector_id', filters.sector_id.toString());
  
  const queryString = params.toString();
  return fetchAPI(`/v1/writer/images/content_images/${queryString ? `?${queryString}` : ''}`);
}
```

**Purpose**: Fetch content images grouped by content  
**Endpoint**: `GET /v1/writer/images/content_images/`  
**Response Type**: `ContentImagesResponse`

**Response Structure**:
```typescript
{
  count: number;
  results: ContentImagesGroup[];
}

// ContentImagesGroup structure:
{
  content_id: number;
  content_title: string;
  featured_image: ContentImage | null;      // Featured image
  in_article_images: ContentImage[];        // 1-5+ in-article images
  overall_status: 'pending' | 'partial' | 'complete' | 'failed';
  status?: string;                          // 'published' or 'draft'
  external_id?: string;                     // WordPress post ID
  external_url?: string;                    // WordPress post URL
  sync_status?: string;                     // 'published', 'synced', etc.
}

// ContentImage structure:
{
  id: number;
  image_type: string;                       // 'featured' or 'in_article'
  image_url?: string | null;                // Generated image URL
  image_path?: string | null;               // Local file path
  prompt?: string | null;                   // Generation prompt
  status: string;                           // 'pending', 'generated', 'failed'
  position: number;                         // Order for in-article images
  created_at: string;
  updated_at: string;
}
```

#### 2. **generateImages()**

```typescript
export async function generateImages(
  imageIds: number[],
  contentId?: number
): Promise<{ success: boolean; task_id?: string; message?: string; error?: string }> {
  try {
    const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/writer/images/generate_images/', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({ 
        ids: imageIds,
        content_id: contentId 
      }),
    });
    
    return { success: true, ...response } as any;
  } catch (error: any) {
    if (error.response && typeof error.response === 'object') {
      return { success: false, error: error.message, ...error.response } as any;
    }
    throw error;
  }
}
```

**Purpose**: Start image generation for specified image IDs  
**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/writer/images/generate_images/`  
**Request Body**:
```json
{
  "ids": [123, 124, 125],
  "content_id": 42
}
```

**Response**:
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "task_id": "celery-task-uuid",
  "message": "Image generation started",
  "images_created": 3
}
```

#### 3. **bulkUpdateImagesStatus()**

```typescript
export async function bulkUpdateImagesStatus(
  contentId: number,
  status: string
): Promise<{ updated_count: number }> {
  return fetchAPI(`/v1/writer/images/bulk_update/`, {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({ content_id: contentId, status }),
  });
}
```

**Purpose**: Update status for all images of a content  
**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/writer/images/bulk_update/`  
**Request Body**:
```json
{
  "content_id": 42,
  "status": "generated"
}
```

**Response**:
```json
{
  "updated_count": 4
}
```

#### 4. **fetchImageGenerationSettings()**

```typescript
export async function fetchImageGenerationSettings(): Promise<ImageGenerationSettings> {
  return fetchAPI('/v1/system/integrations/image_generation/');
}
```

**Purpose**: Get image generation configuration  
**Endpoint**: `GET /v1/system/integrations/image_generation/`  
**Response**:
```typescript
{
  success: boolean;
  config: {
    provider: string;              // 'openai', 'stability', etc.
    model: string;                 // 'dall-e-3', 'stable-diffusion', etc.
    image_type: string;            // 'featured' or 'in_article'
    max_in_article_images: number; // Usually 2-5
    image_format: string;          // 'jpg', 'png', etc.
    desktop_enabled: boolean;
    mobile_enabled: boolean;
  }
}
```

#### 5. **fetchAPI()** - Unified API Wrapper

```typescript
export async function fetchAPI(
  endpoint: string,
  options?: RequestInit & { timeout?: number }
): Promise<any> {
  // 1. Auto-injects JWT token from auth store
  // 2. Handles 401 with token refresh
  // 3. Extracts unified response format
  // 4. Transforms error responses
  // 5. Handles network errors
}
```

**Response Handling**:
- **Unified Success**: `{ success: true, data: {...} }` → returns `data`
- **Paginated**: `{ success: true, count: X, results: [...] }` → returns as-is
- **Unified Error**: `{ success: false, error: "..." }` → throws error
- **Non-200 Status**: Throws with error details

---

## Data Flow & Lifecycle

### 1. **Page Load Flow**

```sequence
Page Mount
  → loadImages() called in useEffect
    → fetchContentImages({}) 
      → API: GET /v1/writer/images/content_images/
        ↓
        Response: {count: X, results: [ContentImagesGroup]}
      ← Parse & filter (client-side)
        • Search filter
        • Status filter
        • Sort by title/status
        • Paginate (10 per page)
      → setImages(paginatedResults)
      → setShowContent(true)
      → UI renders table with data
```

### 2. **Image Generation Flow**

```sequence
User clicks "Generate Images" button for content
  → handleGenerateImages(contentId) triggered
    → Fetch max_in_article_images from settings
    → Build image queue from pending images
    → Open ImageQueueModal with queue
    
User clicks "Start Generation"
  → generateImages(imageIds, contentId) called
    → API: POST /v1/writer/images/generate_images/
      ↓
      Returns task_id (Celery task)
    ← Modal starts polling for progress
      • Updates progress bars per image
      • Shows real-time generation status
      
Generation Complete
  → Modal closes
  → loadImages() called to refresh
  → Table shows generated images
```

### 3. **Manual WordPress Publishing Flow**

```sequence
User clicks "Publish to WordPress" on a row
  → handleRowAction('publish_wordpress', row) triggered
    → Check conditions:
        • row.status === 'published'
        • No external_id OR No external_url
        • sync_status !== 'published'
    
    → fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: {
          content_id: row.content_id,
          destinations: ['wordpress']
        }
      })
    
    → Backend: /api/v1/publisher/publish/
      ↓
      Receives: {content_id: 42, destinations: ['wordpress']}
      
      Calls: PublisherService.publish_content()
        → Finds Content object by ID
        → Maps content to WordPress post format
        → Creates/updates post via WordPress Bridge
        → Sets external_id, external_url, sync_status
      
      Returns: {
        success: true,
        data: {
          content_id: 42,
          external_id: "5678",
          external_url: "https://site.com/post-title",
          sync_status: "published"
        }
      }
    
    ← Frontend receives response
    → toast.success('Published to WordPress')
    → loadImages() to refresh status
    → Table updates to show published status
```

### 4. **Bulk WordPress Publishing Flow**

```sequence
User selects multiple items
  → Click "Publish Ready to WordPress"
  → handleBulkAction('bulk_publish_wordpress', ids) triggered
    
    → Filter items that are ready:
      const readyItems = images
        .filter(item => ids.includes(item.content_id))
        .filter(item => 
          item.status === 'published' &&
          (!item.external_id || !item.external_url) &&
          (!item.sync_status || item.sync_status !== 'published')
        )
    
    → For each readyItem:
        fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
          method: 'POST',
          body: {
            content_id: item.content_id,
            destinations: ['wordpress']
          }
        })
      
      Track: successCount++, failedCount++
    
    → Show summary toast:
      "Published X items, Y failed"
    
    → loadImages() to refresh all
```

### 5. **Status Update Flow**

```sequence
User clicks "Update Status"
  → Modal opens for status selection
  → User selects: 'pending' | 'generated' | 'failed'
  → handleStatusUpdate(status) called
    
    → bulkUpdateImagesStatus(contentId, status)
      → API: POST /v1/writer/images/bulk_update/
        {content_id: 42, status: 'generated'}
      
      Returns: {updated_count: 4}
    
    ← Modal closes
    → toast.success('Updated 4 images')
    → loadImages() to refresh
```

## WordPress Publishing System

### Manual Publishing

#### Architecture

```
Frontend (Images Page)
  └── handleRowAction('publish_wordpress', row)
      └── fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {...})
          └── Backend Publisher Module
              └── PublisherService.publish_content()
                  └── Content → WordPress Bridge
                      └── WordPress Site (via REST API)
                          └── WP Post Created/Updated
```

#### Conditions for Visibility

The "Publish to WordPress" button appears when ALL conditions are met:

1. **Content Status**: `row.status === 'published'`
   - Content must be in published status internally
   
2. **No WordPress Record**: `!row.external_id || !row.external_url`
   - Either no WordPress ID or no WordPress URL
   - Allows re-publishing if one is missing
   
3. **Not Already Synced**: `!row.sync_status || row.sync_status !== 'published'`
   - sync_status is not 'published'
   - Allows re-sync if status changed

#### Request Structure

```typescript
const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content_id: 42,                    // Content to publish
    destinations: ['wordpress']        // Target platform
  })
});
```

#### Response Structure

```typescript
{
  success: true,
  data: {
    content_id: 42,
    external_id: "5678",               // WordPress post ID
    external_url: "https://site.com/p/5678/",
    sync_status: "published",          // Status after publishing
    message: "Content published to WordPress"
  },
  request_id: "uuid"
}
```

### Bulk Publishing

#### Flow

```typescript
// Filter ready items
const readyItems = images
  .filter(item => ids.includes(item.content_id))
  .filter(item => item.status === 'published' && 
                  (!item.external_id || !item.external_url) &&
                  (!item.sync_status || item.sync_status !== 'published'))

// Publish each individually
for (const item of readyItems) {
  try {
    const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        content_id: item.content_id,
        destinations: ['wordpress']
      })
    })
    
    if (response.success) {
      successCount++
    } else {
      failedCount++
    }
  } catch (error) {
    failedCount++
  }
}

// Show results
if (successCount > 0) {
  toast.success(`Published ${successCount} items`)
}
if (failedCount > 0) {
  toast.warning(`${failedCount} failed`)
}

// Refresh to show updated status
loadImages()
```

#### Advantages of Individual Requests

1. **Error Isolation**: Failure in one publish doesn't affect others
2. **Granular Tracking**: Knows exactly which items succeeded/failed
3. **User Feedback**: Can show detailed success/fail breakdown
4. **Partial Success**: Users see partial results instead of total failure

---

## Automated Publishing

### Automatic Status Sync (Two-Way Sync)

The system includes automatic synchronization of content status between IGNY8 and WordPress:

#### Components

1. **WordPress Bridge Plugin** (`igny8-wp-integration`)
   - Monitors WordPress post changes
   - Syncs status back to IGNY8 API
   - Location: `/includes/sync/hooks.php`

2. **IGNY8 Backend Sync Tasks** (Celery)
   - Periodic status checks
   - Webhook receivers
   - Status reconciliation

#### Sync Direction

```
IGNY8 → WordPress:
  Content published in Writer
  → Publisher API called
  → WordPress Bridge receives payload
  → Post created/updated in WordPress

WordPress → IGNY8:
  Post updated in WordPress (draft/publish/trash)
  → WordPress Hook triggered
  → Bridge syncs back via PUT /writer/tasks/{id}/
  → IGNY8 Content status updated
```

#### Sync Status Values

| Status | Meaning | Publishable? |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `draft` | Not yet published to WordPress | Yes |
| `pending` | Awaiting review in WordPress | No |
| `published` | Live on WordPress | No (already published) |
| `synced` | Initial sync complete | No |
| `failed` | Publication failed | Yes (retry) |

---

## Sync Functions

### 1. **loadImages() - Main Refresh Function**

```typescript
const loadImages = useCallback(async () => {
  setLoading(true);
  setShowContent(false);
  try {
    // Fetch all content images
    const data: ContentImagesResponse = await fetchContentImages({});
    let filteredResults = data.results || [];
    
    // Client-side search filter
    if (searchTerm) {
      filteredResults = filteredResults.filter(group => 
        group.content_title?.toLowerCase().includes(searchTerm.toLowerCase())
      );
    }
    
    // Client-side status filter
    if (statusFilter) {
      filteredResults = filteredResults.filter(group => 
        group.overall_status === statusFilter
      );
    }
    
    // Client-side sorting
    filteredResults.sort((a, b) => {
      let aVal: any = a.content_title;
      let bVal: any = b.content_title;
      
      if (sortBy === 'overall_status') {
        aVal = a.overall_status;
        bVal = b.overall_status;
      }
      
      if (aVal < bVal) return sortDirection === 'asc' ? -1 : 1;
      if (aVal > bVal) return sortDirection === 'asc' ? 1 : -1;
      return 0;
    });
    
    // Client-side pagination
    const startIndex = (currentPage - 1) * pageSize;
    const endIndex = startIndex + pageSize;
    const paginatedResults = filteredResults.slice(startIndex, endIndex);
    
    setImages(paginatedResults);
    setTotalCount(filteredResults.length);
    setTotalPages(Math.ceil(filteredResults.length / pageSize));
    
    setTimeout(() => {
      setShowContent(true);
      setLoading(false);
    }, 100);
  } catch (error: any) {
    console.error('Error loading images:', error);
    toast.error(`Failed to load images: ${error.message}`);
    setShowContent(true);
    setLoading(false);
  }
}, [currentPage, statusFilter, sortBy, sortDirection, searchTerm, toast]);
```

**Called After**:
- Page mount
- Search term changes
- Status filter changes
- Sort order changes
- Page navigation
- Publishing operations complete
- Status updates complete

### 2. **handleStatusUpdate() - Status Change Handler**

```typescript
const handleStatusUpdate = useCallback(async (status: string) => {
  if (!statusUpdateContentId) return;

  setIsUpdatingStatus(true);
  try {
    const result = await bulkUpdateImagesStatus(statusUpdateContentId, status);
    toast.success(`Successfully updated ${result.updated_count} image(s) status to ${status}`);
    setIsStatusModalOpen(false);
    setStatusUpdateContentId(null);
    setStatusUpdateRecordName('');
    // Reload images to reflect the changes
    loadImages();
  } catch (error: any) {
    toast.error(`Failed to update status: ${error.message}`);
  } finally {
    setIsUpdatingStatus(false);
  }
}, [statusUpdateContentId, toast, loadImages]);
```

**Flow**:
1. User opens status modal
2. Selects new status
3. API call to update all images for content
4. Refresh table to show changes

### 3. **Site/Sector Change Listeners**

```typescript
useEffect(() => {
  const handleSiteChange = () => {
    loadImages();
  };
  
  const handleSectorChange = () => {
    loadImages();
  };
  
  window.addEventListener('siteChanged', handleSiteChange);
  window.addEventListener('sectorChanged', handleSectorChange);
  
  return () => {
    window.removeEventListener('siteChanged', handleSiteChange);
    window.removeEventListener('sectorChanged', handleSectorChange);
  };
}, [loadImages]);
```

**Purpose**: Auto-refresh when user switches site or sector

### 4. **Debounced Search**

```typescript
useEffect(() => {
  const timer = setTimeout(() => {
    if (currentPage === 1) {
      loadImages();
    } else {
      setCurrentPage(1);  // Reset to page 1
    }
  }, 500);  // Wait 500ms after user stops typing

  return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}, [searchTerm, currentPage, loadImages]);
```

**Purpose**: Avoid excessive API calls during search input

---

## Error Handling

### Unified Error Response Format

All API errors follow the unified format:

```typescript
{
  success: false,
  error: "Human-readable error message",
  errors: {
    field_name: ["Field-specific error"]
  },
  request_id: "uuid"
}
```

### Error Types Handled

| Error Type | Handling | User Feedback |
|-----------|----------|---------------|
| **Network Error** | Caught by fetchAPI | "Network error: Unable to reach API" |
| **401 Unauthorized** | Token refresh attempted | Auto-retry or "Session expired" |
| **403 Forbidden** | Authentication check failed | "Permission denied" |
| **404 Not Found** | Resource doesn't exist | "Content not found" |
| **422 Validation** | Invalid request data | "Invalid input: {field details}" |
| **500 Server Error** | Backend exception | "Server error occurred" |
| **Timeout** | Request > 30 seconds | "Request timeout" |

### Error Handling in Publishing

```typescript
try {
  const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
      content_id: item.content_id,
      destinations: ['wordpress']
    })
  });
  
  if (response.success) {
    successCount++;
  } else {
    // Unified error format
    console.warn(`Failed: ${response.error}`);
    failedCount++;
  }
} catch (error: any) {
  // Network or unknown error
  console.error('Error publishing:', error);
  failedCount++;
}
```

---

## Performance Optimizations

### 1. **Client-Side Processing**

- **Search**: Filtered in memory, not via API
- **Sorting**: Local array sort, no API call
- **Pagination**: 10 items per page, loaded once
- **Status Filter**: In-memory filtering

**Benefit**: Faster UX, no additional API calls

### 2. **Memoization**

```typescript
// Prevent unnecessary re-renders
const pageConfig = useMemo(() => {
  return createImagesPageConfig({...});
}, [searchTerm, statusFilter, maxInArticleImages, ...]);

const headerMetrics = useMemo(() => {
  return pageConfig.headerMetrics.map(...);
}, [pageConfig?.headerMetrics, images, totalCount]);
```

### 3. **Debouncing**

```typescript
// 500ms delay on search to avoid API thrashing
useEffect(() => {
  const timer = setTimeout(() => {
    loadImages();
  }, 500);
  
  return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}, [searchTerm, ...]);
```

### 4. **Lazy Loading (Potential)**

```typescript
// Could implement virtual scrolling for 1000+ items
// Currently: Fixed page size of 10 items
```

### 5. **Caching (Backend)**

The API automatically caches:
- Content images (5-minute TTL)
- Image generation settings (server-side)
- Site metadata

## Configuration Deep Dive

### Table Actions Configuration

**File**: `table-actions.config.tsx`

```typescript
'/writer/images': {
  rowActions: [
    {
      key: 'publish_wordpress',
      label: 'Publish to WordPress',
      icon: <ArrowRightIcon className="w-5 h-5" />,
      variant: 'success',
      shouldShow: (row: any) => {
        // Only show if ready for publishing
        return row.status === 'published' && 
               (!row.external_id || !row.external_url) &&
               (!row.sync_status || row.sync_status !== 'published');
      },
    },
    {
      key: 'update_status',
      label: 'Update Status',
      icon: <CheckCircleIcon className="w-5 h-5" />,
      variant: 'primary',
    },
  ],
  bulkActions: [
    {
      key: 'bulk_publish_wordpress',
      label: 'Publish Ready to WordPress',
      icon: <ArrowRightIcon className="w-5 h-5" />,
      variant: 'success',
    },
  ],
}
```

### Images Page Config

**File**: `images.config.tsx`

```typescript
export const createImagesPageConfig = (handlers: {
  searchTerm: string;
  setSearchTerm: (value: string) => void;
  statusFilter: string;
  setStatusFilter: (value: string) => void;
  setCurrentPage: (page: number) => void;
  maxInArticleImages?: number;
  onGenerateImages?: (contentId: number) => void;
  onImageClick?: (contentId: number, imageType: 'featured' | 'in_article', position?: number) => void;
}): ImagesPageConfig => {
  // Builds columns with featured image + up to 5 in-article images
  // Builds filters: search, status
  // Calculates header metrics
}
```

---

## Data Models

### ContentImagesGroup

```typescript
interface ContentImagesGroup {
  content_id: number;
  content_title: string;
  featured_image: ContentImage | null;
  in_article_images: ContentImage[];
  overall_status: 'pending' | 'partial' | 'complete' | 'failed';
  
  // WordPress fields
  status?: string;              // 'published' or 'draft'
  external_id?: string;         // WordPress post ID
  external_url?: string;        // WordPress post URL
  sync_status?: string;         // 'published', 'synced', 'failed'
}
```

### ContentImage

```typescript
interface ContentImage {
  id: number;
  image_type: string;           // 'featured' | 'in_article'
  image_url?: string | null;    // Generated image URL
  image_path?: string | null;   // Local file path
  prompt?: string | null;       // Generation prompt
  status: string;               // 'pending' | 'generated' | 'failed'
  position: number;             // Order for in-article (1-5+)
  created_at: string;
  updated_at: string;
}
```

## API Endpoints Reference

### Reader Endpoints

| Method | Endpoint | Purpose |
|--------|----------|---------|
| GET | `/v1/writer/images/content_images/` | Fetch grouped content images |
| GET | `/v1/system/integrations/image_generation/` | Get generation settings |

### Writer Endpoints

| Method | Endpoint | Purpose |
|--------|----------|---------|
| POST | `/v1/writer/images/generate_images/` | Start image generation |
| POST | `/v1/writer/images/bulk_update/` | Update image statuses |

### Publisher Endpoints

| Method | Endpoint | Purpose |
|--------|----------|---------|
| POST | `/v1/publisher/publish/` | Publish to destinations (WordPress) |

---

## Key Implementation Decisions

### 1. **Unified Publishing Endpoint**

**Decision**: Use existing `/v1/publisher/publish/` instead of custom WordPress endpoints  
**Rationale**:
- Follows IGNY8 unified API standard
- Supports multiple destinations (WordPress, Sites Renderer, etc.)
- Centralized publishing logic
- Easier to extend

### 2. **Client-Side Processing**

**Decision**: Perform search, filter, sort, paginate on client  
**Rationale**:
- Faster response (no API round-trips)
- Better UX for small datasets (< 1000 items)
- Works offline
- Reduces server load

### 3. **Individual Bulk Publishes**

**Decision**: Loop and call API individually for bulk operations  
**Rationale**:
- Error isolation (one failure doesn't affect others)
- Granular progress tracking
- User sees partial success
- Easier error reporting

### 4. **Automatic Status Sync**

**Decision**: Refresh data after publish operations  
**Rationale**:
- Ensures UI reflects latest server state
- Shows WordPress sync status
- Catches errors from background tasks
- User sees immediate feedback

---

## Future Enhancements

### Potential Improvements

1. **Server-Side Pagination**
   - Replace client-side pagination
   - Reduce memory usage for large datasets
   - Enable server-side filtering/sorting

2. **Real-Time Updates**
   - WebSocket for publishing progress
   - Push notifications
   - Live sync status updates

3. **Batch Publishing API**
   - Single endpoint for bulk operations
   - Reduced network overhead
   - Atomic operations (all-or-nothing)

4. **Advanced Filtering**
   - Filter by image type (featured/in-article)
   - Filter by image status
   - Filter by sync status

5. **Scheduling**
   - Schedule publishing for specific dates
   - Queue management UI
   - Publishing calendar

6. **Retry Mechanism**
   - Automatic retry on failure
   - Exponential backoff
   - Dead letter queue for failed items

## Debugging & Support

### Enable Resource Debug Logs

```typescript
// In any page using Images component
const resourceDebugEnabled = useResourceDebug();
// Shows AI Function Logs panel with all operations
```

### Check API Responses

```typescript
// In browser DevTools
// Network tab → XHR/Fetch → Filter "images"
// View each request/response

// Look for unified format:
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {...},
  "request_id": "uuid"
}
```

### Common Issues

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Publish button not showing | Status != 'published' OR already has external_id | Check row.status and row.external_id |
| Publishing succeeds but data not updated | Need to refresh | loadImages() called, wait for refresh |
| Images not loading | Site/sector not selected | Select site in header |
| API 401 error | Token expired | Should auto-refresh, check auth store |
