# Chatbot Endpoint

`POST /api/chatbot`

## Headers

- `x-user-id` string, nullable

## Request body

- ChatRequest
  - `message` string
  - `conversation_id` string, nullable
  - `sendAudio` boolean, nullable
  - `newUser` boolean, nullable
  - `promptKey` string, nullable — Used alongside daily topic quest
  - `image_ids` string[], nullable
  - `retriedFromStream` boolean, nullable — Set by the client when re-sending a message whose streamed attempt failed. The stream route already saved the user message and counted the quota, so the buffered route must not do either again. Contract: the client sets this ONLY after receiving the stream's meta event — meta is emitted after the save/increment phase, so it is the signal that both actually happened. A stream that failed before meta (HTTP error, dropped connection) persisted nothing and must be retried WITHOUT this flag.
