# PHASE 6: Content View - Image Regeneration 🟡 (Enhancement)

###  NEW FEATURE - Enhancement

**Problem:**
Need ability to regenerate images from the content view with:
- Custom prompt input
- Option to regenerate from original prompt
- Option to generate at higher quality tier

**Current State:**
- Backend: API endpoint documented but NOT implemented
- Frontend: No regenerate buttons exist

**Implementation Plan:**

### Backend:
Add `regenerate` action to `ImageViewSet`:
```python
# In modules/writer/views.py - ImageViewSet
@action(detail=True, methods=['post'])
def regenerate(self, request, pk=None):
    image = self.get_object()
    custom_prompt = request.data.get('custom_prompt', '')
    quality_tier = request.data.get('quality_tier', image.quality_tier)
    
    # Append custom prompt to original if provided
    prompt = image.prompt
    if custom_prompt:
        prompt = f"{prompt}. {custom_prompt}"
    
    # Check credits for quality tier
    # Generate new image
    # Update image record
    # Return result
```

### Frontend:
Add regenerate button to content view:
```tsx
// In ContentViewTemplate or similar
<Button
  variant="secondary"
  size="sm"
  onClick={() => setShowRegenerateModal(true)}
>
  <RefreshIcon /> Regenerate Image
</Button>

// Modal with options:
// - Custom prompt textarea
// - Quality tier selector (Basic/Quality/Premium)
// - "Use original prompt" checkbox
```

**Credit Calculation:**
- Show credit cost before regeneration
- Different costs for different quality tiers
