Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>

---

Integration with Context Compression

The system integrates with api/utils/context_compression.py for:

1. Context Recall: format_for_injection() - Formats contexts for Claude prompt
2. Project State Compression: compress_project_state() - Compresses state data
3. Tag Extraction: Auto-detection of relevant tags from content
4. Relevance Scoring: Dynamic scoring based on age, usage, tags, importance

---
