### **Phase 2.1 & 2.2: AI-Powered Backend Endpoints** ✅ DONE

**New REST Endpoints:**
1. ✅ `/summarize-context` endpoint registered
   - File: `/includes/class-gutenberg-sidebar.php`
   - Lines: 444-453
   - Handler: `handle_summarize_context()`

2. ✅ `/detect-intent` endpoint registered
   - File: `/includes/class-gutenberg-sidebar.php`
   - Lines: 455-464
   - Handler: `handle_detect_intent()`

**Handler Methods:**
1. ✅ `handle_summarize_context()` method implemented
   - File: `/includes/class-gutenberg-sidebar.php`
   - Lines: 5252-5341
   - Features:
     - Skips summarization for < 4 messages
     - Builds structured summary (TOPIC, FOCUS, EXCLUDE, PREFERENCES)
     - Uses cheap model (deepseek-chat-v3-032)
     - Tracks cost with `summarize_context` operation
     - Returns tokens saved estimate

2. ✅ `handle_detect_intent()` method implemented
   - File: `/includes/class-gutenberg-sidebar.php`
   - Lines: 5350-5426
   - Features:
     - Detects 5 intent types: create_outline, start_writing, refine_content, continue_chat, clarify
     - Considers current mode and plan status
     - Uses cheap model
     - Tracks cost with `detect_intent` operation
     - Validates and sanitizes response

---

### **Phase 2.3: Cost Tracking** ✅ DONE

Cost tracking already supports arbitrary operation types. New operations automatically tracked:
- `summarize_context` - Context summarization operations
- `detect_intent` - Intent detection operations

No code changes needed - existing infrastructure handles new operation types.

## 🎯 Implementation Strategy

The backend infrastructure is complete. All remaining work is frontend JavaScript/CSS:

1. **Writing Mode UX** (Phases 1.2, 1.3) - Simple UI additions
2. **Agentic Features** (Phases 2.4, 2.5) - Core functionality using new endpoints
3. **UX Polish** (Phase 3) - User experience enhancements

All backend endpoints are ready and tested. Frontend implementation can proceed independently.
