## Description

PointerDev AI Chat provides:

 * Admin settings page under Settings > PointerDev AI Chat
 * Frontend shortcode `[pointerdevai_chat]` that loads the widget bundle
 * Guest mode and login-required mode support
 * Server-side end-user token mint endpoint for logged-in WordPress users
 * Runtime session token lifecycle support for server-side AJAX proxy flows (exchange,
   refresh, revoke)

The widget JavaScript is bundled locally with this plugin. No JavaScript, CSS, or
image assets are loaded from a CDN.

### External Service

This plugin connects your WordPress site to the PointerDev AI service. A PointerDev
AI account, project ID, publishable key, and, for login-required mode, secret key
are required.

When visitors use the chat widget, the plugin sends chat messages, project credentials,
anonymous visitor identifiers or logged-in user token data, and configured metadata
to the API Base URL saved in Settings > PointerDev AI Chat. The default service 
endpoint is `https://pointerdev.ai/`, but site administrators may configure their
own PointerDev AI API base URL.

## Installation

 2. Activate the plugin through the WordPress admin.
 3. Go to Settings > PointerDev AI Chat and save:
 4.  * API Base URL
     * Project ID
     * Publishable Key
     * Secret Key (required for login_required mode)
     * Optional widget title, subtitle, launcher label, icon style, icon text, and 
       colors
 5. Add shortcode `[pointerdevai_chat]` to any page.

To show a round chat bubble launcher, choose Chat bubble icon for Launcher Icon 
Style and leave Launcher Label empty.

## FAQ

### How does login_required mode work?

When `auth_mode` is `end_user` (or `auto` with logged-in users), plugin mints end-
user tokens server-side using your stored secret key and feeds them to the widget.

Primary filter `pointerdevai_end_user_token` can override the generated token.
 
Legacy filter `pointerai_end_user_token` is still available for custom overrides.
When this filter returns a token, it overrides built-in token minting for widget
auth. The same server-side minting path is used by the plugin AJAX proxy when needed.

Default `sub` derivation is multisite-aware (`blog_id:user_id`). If you need Laravel-
style parity (`user_id` only), use filter `pointerdevai_end_user_subject_seed`.

Legacy filter `pointerai_end_user_subject_seed` still works.

### Can I use this for anonymous chat?

Yes. Set auth mode to `anonymous` or `auto`.
