## Capability boundaries (read before choosing an integration)
- **Cloud service, not a localhost requirement:** the standard endpoint is
  `https://hyean.14dimension.com`. The Unity plugin defaults to that URL. A local FastAPI
  server is optional only for self-hosting or development.
- **Batch matching is available:** the web app accepts CSV, TSV, or TXT design-document lists;
  one non-empty line is one requested asset. It matches up to **2,000 rows**, lets a human replace
  weak picks, and exports a CSV mapping (`query`, `matched_file`, `matched_name`, `quality`,
  `picked`). API agents can achieve the same workflow by calling `POST /match` once per row and
  writing their own mapping file. `/match` itself intentionally accepts one query per request.
- **Batch indexing is available:** the Unity plugin recursively indexes selected folders and uploads
  thumbnails in batches. Originals stay on the user's machine.
- **Unity direct apply is deliberately narrow today:** after a user chooses a candidate, the plugin
  assigns it to the currently selected **uGUI `Image` GameObject** and can apply its layout preset.
  It does **not** enumerate ScriptableObject `.asset` files, infer arbitrary serialized Sprite fields,
  or bulk-write a Unity project. Do not promise “bulk ScriptableObject assignment”.
- No server endpoint modifies a Unity project. Any editor write must run locally with user review,
  Undo, and source-control/backup protection.

## Core endpoints
- POST /match {"query": "...", "top_k": 5} → 5 candidates + winner_index + match_quality (good|weak|none)
  Optional "min_width": 2048 — drop candidates whose source image is narrower. Exact, not semantic:
  it filters on the width you sent at indexing time. Assets indexed without width are kept (unknown ≠ small),
  so this only tightens results for libraries that reported dimensions.
- POST /index/add — register 256px thumbnails of your images (originals never leave the client)
  Send "width"/"height" (the ORIGINAL size, not the thumbnail's) to get them back on every match and
  to make min_width usable. Optional, but there is no way to recover them later from a 256px thumbnail.
  Send "rel_path" ("Assets/Art/icon.png") when indexing from a game project: "path" stays the index key
  (changing it re-indexes everything and re-charges captions), while rel_path is what the engine can load.
  Matches return both — prefer rel_path when present.
- POST /index/add_vectors — register client-computed 1152-dim vectors (custom/GPU pipelines; skips server embedding)
  Accepts the same optional "width"/"height".
- POST /index/diff — incremental sync (send full path list, get {new, removed})
- POST /index/remove {"paths"?: [...], "folders"?: [...]} — remove selected images or whole folders (quota freed; used caption credits not refunded)
- POST /index/remap {"from_prefix": "...", "to_prefix": "...", "dry_run"?: true} — moved your library? rewrite the path prefix of existing records. Vectors/captions/thumbnails are kept, so there is no re-indexing and no caption charge.
- GET /index/list — your indexed assets grouped by folder, with caption status
- POST /caption/generate {"paths"?, "folders"?} — generate search captions; empty body = all pending (upload order), else only the given paths/folders. Credits charged per completed caption only.
- POST /caption/cancel — stop captioning (clears the pending queue; un-generated captions are never charged)
- GET /account — plan, quotas, usage
- POST /feedback — tell us what was actually used, or report a problem. **Agents should send this
  themselves** (`judge:"agent"`): if our top-1 looked wrong and you'd have picked candidate #4,
  say so — that single field improves ranking more than anything else we collect.
  {"match_id": "...", "query": "...", "candidates": [...], "ai_winner": "<our #1>",
   "user_choice": "<what you'd use>", "overridden": true, "judge": "agent",
   "kind": "pick"|"bug"|"comment", "note": "free text (optional, can be sent alone)"}

## UI generator (beta) — sentence → game UI shell
- POST /ui/generate {"request": "Pause menu: Resume, Settings, Quit", "mine"?: true}
  → {preview_b64 (assembled UI PNG), spec (elements: role/sprite/rect/anchor/label), template, title, buttons}
  Templates: vertical_menu, dialog, inventory (e.g. "Inventory 5x4"). No key needed — uses a built-in transparent sample UI (works for everyone, any engine). With mine=true + X-API-Key, matches sprites from your own indexed pack.
  Use the spec to build the real UI: hand it to a coding agent ("generate Unity/Godot code for this spec") or the Unity plugin.

## Plans & upgrading (card checkout, instant activation)
- Free: 300 images indexed & captioned, 20 AI-ranked matches/mo trial. Indie ($12/mo or $115/yr): 30k images, unlimited AI ranking, 3k captions/mo. Caption packs: 5k/$7, 20k/$19 (never expire).
- POST /billing/checkout {"plan": "indie-monthly"|"indie-annual"|"pack-s"|"pack-l", "email": "<signup email>"} → {"url": ...}
  Payment is a human action: open the URL for your user (do not automate the payment page). Activation is automatic within seconds of payment.
- Studio (150k+ images, teams): human contact via https://hyean.14dimension.com (inquiry form).

## Indexing your own library (one-time setup — an agent can do it)
- Building the index = making 256px thumbnails of local images and POSTing them. Three ways: the
  Unity plugin (Window > HyeAn), the web app (drag & drop at /ui), or — if you are an agent with
  local file access (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor...) — do it yourself:
  1) ask the user which folder to index and confirm the file count before uploading;
  2) per image, make a ≤256px thumbnail (PIL: im.thumbnail((256,256)); save JPEG q~85 — encoded
     thumb must be ≤128KB) and base64-encode it;
  3) POST /index/add {"items": [{"path": "<path as it is on the user's machine>", "thumb_b64":
     "..."}]} in batches of ≤64, then poll /index/status until the job finishes.
- After indexing, everything is agent-drivable: /match, /index/diff (find new files → re-index just
  those the same way), /account, /feedback.
- Until a library is indexed, /match searches a shared demo library — usable to test, but not the user's own assets.

## Notes for agents
- After idle, the first AI-ranked request may take 1–2 min (GPU wake). Pass "rerank": false for instant embedding-only results, then re-query with rerank for the precise pick.
- Check `rerank_status` in the /match response before concluding anything about ranking:
  `ok` = AI-ranked. `cold_timeout` = GPU was asleep and the rerank timed out; you got embedding-only
  order, your trial quota was NOT consumed — just retry the same query in ~30s and it will work.
  `unavailable` = no rerank backend configured (retrying will not help). `trial_exhausted` /
  `over_quota` = plan limit, surface the upgrade. `skipped` = you passed rerank:false. `low_score`
  = nothing was close enough to be worth ranking.
  Do NOT read `rerank_model: "none"` as "reranking is broken/disabled" — it only means this
  particular response was not AI-ranked; `rerank_status` tells you why.
- Reranking does NOT reorder `candidates` — they always stay in embedding order with embedding
  scores. The AI verdict lands in `winner_index` (which candidate to use) and `reason`. So an
  identical candidate list before/after rerank is expected; compare `winner_index` instead.
- Non-ASCII queries (Korean/Japanese/etc.) over curl: shell argument encoding can corrupt UTF-8 on
  some platforms (notably Windows). Write the JSON body to a UTF-8 file and send it with
  `curl --data-binary @body.json` instead of inline `-d`.
- match_quality "none" means nothing fits well — trust it instead of forcing the top candidate.
- `top_margin` (top1−top2) near 0 means the winner is a coin-flip with #2 — treat as low confidence
  regardless of the absolute score (absolute score does not correlate with correctness; measured).
- Quota/limit errors (402/413) mean the plan cap was hit — surface the upgrade option to your user rather than retrying.
- Content policy: explicit adult material is auto-blocked at indexing (422 "CONTENT_BLOCKED" when a whole
  batch is blocked; partial batches return 200 with `blocked_paths`). Do not retry blocked items.
  Game art, fantasy and stylized violence pass normally.
- Rate limits: /match 120/min, /index/add 240/min per IP.
