-# Content Manager Removal & Refactor Plan
-
-**Purpose**: Provide a safe, staged, reversible plan to remove the Content Manager UI and perform the requested content-manager refactor while preserving Writer pages and integrations. This file is a single-source plan for developers and QA.
-
----
-
-## Objectives
-
-- Safely remove/hide the Content Manager dashboard UI and related code paths without breaking Writer flows: Tasks, Content (detail), Images, Published, Sites, Site integration, and WordPress sync.
-- Implement requested UI changes (three buttons, metadata block, table column changes) behind a feature flag.
-- Ensure background syncs, plugin webhooks, and publish adapters continue to function.
-- Do not perform destructive DB schema removals during initial rollout; deprecate first, remove later after validations.
-
----
-
-## High-level Phases
-
-1. Preparation & discovery (completed)
-2. Feature-flag gating & compatibility proxies
-3. Frontend hide + UI refactor (non-destructive)
-4. Backend normalization & compatibility layer
-5. Staged cleanup & code removal
-6. Tests, rollout, monitoring, and rollback
-
----
-
-## Feature flag and admin control
-
-- Add server-side feature flag `feature.content_manager_refactor` (default OFF in production).
-- Add admin option `enable_content_manager_removal_mode` to WP plugin and backend config for controlled toggles.
-- All major UI changes and route behavior changes must be gated behind the feature flag.
-
----
-
-## Per-file action plan (first sprint - non-destructive)
-
-- frontend/src/layout/AppSidebar.tsx
-  - Change Writer menu link default from `/writer/content` to `/writer/tasks` (behind flag).
-
-- frontend/src/config/routes.config.ts
-  - Ensure `/writer` redirects to `/writer/tasks` when flag enabled.
-
-- frontend/src/pages/Writer/Content.tsx
-  - Hide inline body toggle and modal behavior behind flag; ensure title click navigates to content detail.
-
-- frontend/src/components/common/ToggleTableRow.tsx
-  - Remove usage on Content list (do not delete component globally).
-
-- frontend/src/pages/Writer/ContentView.tsx (or ContentViewTemplate)
-  - Add metadata block (Cluster, Sector, Categories, Tags).
-  - Add three buttons with conditional visibility (Edit content, Generate images, Publish).
-
-- frontend/src/pages/Writer/Review.tsx
-  - Add Categories and Tags columns after Title; make Title clickable to open ContentView.
-
-- frontend/src/pages/Writer/Images.tsx
-  - Remove image prompt column; render image and status badge stacked.
-
-- frontend/src/config/pages/content.config.tsx and table-actions.config.tsx
-  - Add/adjust columns and action visibility rules to support the UI changes.
-
-- frontend/src/templates/TablePageTemplate.tsx
-  - Persist column selector state per-page using localStorage key `table-columns:${routePath}`.
-
-- frontend/src/services/api.ts
-  - Keep `publishContent`, `unpublishContent`, `generateImagePrompts`, `fetchContentById` unchanged; add wrappers only if needed for compatibility.
-
-- backend/igny8_core/modules/writer/views.py
-  - Keep `ContentViewSet` endpoints; ensure `publish()` writes `external_id` & `external_url` and has robust validation.
-
-- backend/igny8_core/business/integration/services/content_sync_service.py
-  - Normalize status usage (`published` not `publish`) and set canonical `content.external_id` on successful publish.
-
-- backend/igny8_core/business/publishing/services/adapters/wordpress_adapter.py
-  - Confirm adapter returns `external_id` and `url` reliably and handles media errors gracefully.
-
-- igny8-wp-integration/sync/igny8-to-wp.php
-  - Add fallback: if `task['content_id']` is present, fetch `GET /v1/writer/content/{content_id}/` and use `content_html` for post body; fallback to legacy `task['content']` if content fetch fails.
-
-- igny8-wp-integration/includes/functions.php
-  - Ensure cron jobs and connection toggles can be disabled via admin option to stop sync during rollback.

-## UI Requirements & Exact Behavior
-
-1. Content detail `/writer/content/:id` (ContentView)
-   - Metadata block (top-right or top section):
-     - Cluster: label + cluster name (link to cluster detail if clicked)
-     - Sector: label + value
-     - Categories and Tags: chips below Sector
-   - Buttons (top toolbar):
-     - Edit content
-       - Visible when `status` ∈ {`draft`, `review`}.
-       - Action: navigate to PostEditor (use existing PostEditor route, pass `content_id`).
-     - Generate images
-       - Visible when `status` == `draft`.
-       - Action: call `POST /v1/writer/content/{id}/generate_image_prompts/`; show progress modal if `task_id` returned.
-     - Publish
-       - Visible when `status` == `review`.
-       - Action: call `POST /v1/writer/content/{id}/publish/`; on success display toast with `external_url` and refresh.
-
-2. `/writer/content` list
-   - Remove dropdown row-toggle that shows body.
-   - Clicking Title navigates to `/writer/content/{id}` (no modal). 
-
-3. `/writer/review`
-   - Table columns: [Select] [Title (clickable)] [Categories] [Tags] [Cluster] [Status] [Actions].
-
-4. `/writer/images`
-   - Remove 'image prompt' column.
-   - Image column shows: thumbnail (top) and status badge (below) as vertical stack in a single column.
-
-5. Table column persistence
-   - Store selected columns per route in `localStorage` key `table-columns:${routePath}`.
-   - On mount, load and apply selection.

-
-## Data flow & canonical fields (reference)
-
-- Task (lightweight): id, title, cluster_id, content_type, content_structure, taxonomy_term_id, keywords (M2M), status (`queued`|`completed`).
-- Content (canonical body): id, title, content_html, ai_raw/json (if present), content_type, content_structure, cluster_id, taxonomy_terms (M2M), source (`igny8`|`wordpress`), status (`draft`|`published`), external_id, external_url.
-- WordPress: expect adapter to return `external_id` and `url`.
-
----
-
-## Backend normalization & compatibility
-
-- Replace any uses of `status == 'publish'` with `status == 'published'` (e.g., in `ContentSyncService`).
-- Standardize storing WP post id in `content.external_id` (not only in `content.metadata['wordpress_id']`).
-- Keep old metadata keys supported for one release by copying `metadata['wordpress_id']` → `external_id` (migration or compatibility write).
-- Plugin fallback: if webhook provides `task.content_id`, plugin must fetch content detail for `content_html`.
-
----
-
-## Tests & verification
-
-- Unit tests (backend)
-  - `ContentViewSet.publish()` updates `external_id` & `external_url` and content status.
-  - `ContentSyncService` picks up `published` content and updates `external_id`.
-- Frontend unit tests
-  - ContentView button visibility by status.
-  - Review table shows categories/tags and clickable title.
-- Integration/E2E tests
-  - End-to-end flow: Idea → Task → Generate content → verify Content saved → generate images → publish → WP post created → `content.external_id` present.
-- Plugin webhook simulation
-  - Simulate `task_published` with `content_id` present; verify WP post has full body from `content_html` and metadata keys set.
-
----
-
-## Rollback & monitoring
-
-- Quick rollback: flip `feature.content_manager_refactor` OFF.
-- If publish failures spike: set WP plugin option `igny8_connection_enabled` = 0 to stop cron and inbound sync.
-- Instrument logs for publish path and plugin webhook calls; monitor error rates, failed publishes, missing credentials.
-
----
-
-## Timeline & sprint breakdown (first sprint - non-destructive)
-
-- Day 0.5: Feature flag & admin option + small plugin fallback change.
-- Day 1–2: Frontend changes (hide old UI, implement ContentView metadata + buttons behind flag, review/images updates, column persistence).
-- Day 0.5: Backend normalization: `ContentSyncService` status normalization and `external_id` writes; confirm `publish()` stable.
-- Day 1: Tests, staging deploy, integration E2E.
-- Day 0.5: Staged canary release and monitoring.
-
----
-
-## Deliverables for first sprint
-
-- `master-docs/CONTENT-MANAGER-REMOVAL-PLAN.md` (this file)
-- Feature flag implemented and documented
-- Frontend UI changes behind flag: ContentView metadata/buttons, Review table updates, Images table updates, Column persistence
-- Backend fixes: status normalization, external_id unification
-- WP plugin fallback to fetch `content_html` when `content_id` present
-- Tests and staging validation
-

-
-## Next steps I will take if you approve
-
-1. Produce exact per-file diffs for the first sprint (safe edits).  
-2. Optionally implement the edits and run the test suite in staging.  
-
-If you want me to generate the diffs now, say "generate diffs" and I will produce the changes for review. 
-

-# Content Manager Removal — Tests, E2E Flows & Rollback
-
-Purpose: a concise, actionable test plan and rollback instructions to validate the first non-destructive sprint before full cleanup.
-
-1) Smoke tests (manual or scriptable)
-- Create content from Planner → verify Content record exists with `content_html` populated.
-- Generate image prompts for a Content item (draft) → verify image prompt records created and UI shows "Image Prompts Generated".
-- Generate images → verify images tasks start and images appear in `/writer/images`.
-- Move Content to `review` status → call Publish → verify backend returns `external_id` and `external_url` set on Content and WP plugin creates post.
-- Trigger plugin webhook simulation with `task` payload that includes `content_id` → verify WP post body uses `content_html`.
-
-2) Unit tests (backend)
-- `ContentViewSet.publish()`:
-  - publishes and sets `external_id` and `external_url`.
-  - rejects publish when site credentials missing.
-- `ContentSyncService._sync_to_wordpress`:
-  - queries `status='published'` (not 'publish').
-  - writes `content.external_id` on success.
-
-3) Frontend unit tests
-- `ContentViewTemplate`:
-  - buttons visibility by `status` (`draft`: Edit + Generate; `review`: Edit + Publish).
-  - Edit button navigates to `/sites/{siteId}/posts/{contentId}/edit`.
-- `Review` page:
-  - Title renders as link to `/writer/content/{id}`.
-  - Categories and Tags columns appear and persist via ColumnSelector.
-- `Images` page:
-  - Content image cells do not show prompt text, only image and status badge.
-
-4) E2E test (recommended - scriptable)
-- Flow:
-  1. Create Idea → create Task → generate content (AI) → assert Content record created.
-  2. For created Content (status draft) call generate image prompts → start generation → wait for images generated.
-  3. Change status to review → call publish endpoint → assert WP post exists via plugin test endpoint and `external_id` present.
-
-5) Monitoring & metrics to watch in staging
-- Publish success rate (per-minute/hour).
-- WP plugin webhook failures and missing credentials.
-- Content with `content_id` but empty `content_html`.
-
-6) Rollback steps (fast)
-- Flip account setting `feature.content_manager_refactor` OFF (server-side account setting) — this hides/refuses new UI.
-- If publish failures spike, set WP plugin option `igny8_connection_enabled` = 0 to stop outbound syncs and webhooks.
-- Revert UI commits in the release branch and redeploy.
-
-7) Test artifacts
-- Store E2E run logs and failing request/response pairs in `staging/e2e-runs/{timestamp}/`.
-
-Notes
-- Automate the E2E with Cypress or Playwright; prefer Playwright for headless CI runs.
-- Use test WP site with test credentials; do not use production credentials for staging tests.
