Merge bugfix/custom-slug-extraction: Fix mp-slug extraction

Fix custom slug extraction bug where mp-slug was being filtered
out by normalize_properties() before it could be used.

Changes:
- Extract mp-slug from raw request data before normalization
- Add tests for both form-encoded and JSON formats
- All 13 Micropub tests passing

Fixes issue where Quill-specified custom slugs were ignored.

+# Custom Slug Bug Fix - Implementation Report
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-25
+**Developer**: StarPunk Developer Subagent
+**Branch**: bugfix/custom-slug-extraction
+**Status**: Complete - Ready for Testing
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Successfully fixed the custom slug extraction bug in the Micropub handler. Custom slugs specified via `mp-slug` parameter are now correctly extracted and used when creating notes.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Custom slugs specified via the `mp-slug` property in Micropub requests were being completely ignored. The system was falling back to auto-generated slugs even when a custom slug was provided by the client (e.g., Quill).
+
+**Root Cause**: `mp-slug` was being extracted from normalized properties after it had already been filtered out by `normalize_properties()` which removes all `mp-*` parameters.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified
+
+1. **starpunk/micropub.py** (lines 290-307)
+   - Moved `mp-slug` extraction to BEFORE property normalization
+   - Added support for both form-encoded and JSON request formats
+   - Added clear comments explaining the timing requirement
+
+2. **tests/test_micropub.py** (added lines 191-246)
+   - Added `test_micropub_create_with_custom_slug_form()` - tests form-encoded requests
+   - Added `test_micropub_create_with_custom_slug_json()` - tests JSON requests
+   - Both tests verify the custom slug is actually used in the created note
+
+### Code Changes
+
+#### Before (Broken)
+```python
+# Normalize and extract properties
+try:
+    properties = normalize_properties(data)  # mp-slug gets filtered here!
+    content = extract_content(properties)
+    title = extract_title(properties)
+    tags = extract_tags(properties)
+    published_date = extract_published_date(properties)
+
+    # Extract custom slug if provided (Micropub extension)
+    custom_slug = None
+    if 'mp-slug' in properties:  # BUG: mp-slug not in properties!
+        slug_values = properties.get('mp-slug', [])
+        if slug_values and len(slug_values) > 0:
+            custom_slug = slug_values[0]
+```
+
+#### After (Fixed)
+```python
+# Extract mp-slug BEFORE normalizing properties (it's not a property!)
+# mp-slug is a Micropub server extension parameter that gets filtered during normalization
+custom_slug = None
+if isinstance(data, dict) and 'mp-slug' in data:
+    # Handle both form-encoded (list) and JSON (could be string or list)
+    slug_value = data.get('mp-slug')
+    if isinstance(slug_value, list) and slug_value:
+        custom_slug = slug_value[0]
+    elif isinstance(slug_value, str):
+        custom_slug = slug_value
+
+# Normalize and extract properties
+try:
+    properties = normalize_properties(data)
+    content = extract_content(properties)
+    title = extract_title(properties)
+    tags = extract_tags(properties)
+    published_date = extract_published_date(properties)
+```
+
+### Why This Fix Works
+
+1. **Extracts before filtering**: Gets `mp-slug` from raw request data before `normalize_properties()` filters it out
+2. **Handles both formats**:
+   - Form-encoded: `mp-slug` is a list `["slug-value"]`
+   - JSON: `mp-slug` can be string `"slug-value"` or list `["slug-value"]`
+3. **Preserves existing flow**: The `custom_slug` variable was already being passed to `create_note()` correctly
+4. **Architecturally correct**: Treats `mp-slug` as a server parameter (not a property), which aligns with Micropub spec
+
+## Test Results

+
+### New Test Coverage
+
+**Test 1: Form-encoded with custom slug**
+- Request: `POST /micropub` with `content=...&mp-slug=my-custom-slug`
+- Verifies: Location header ends with `/notes/my-custom-slug`
+- Verifies: Note exists in database with correct slug
+
+**Test 2: JSON with custom slug**
+- Request: `POST /micropub` with JSON body including `"mp-slug": "json-custom-slug"`
+- Verifies: Location header ends with `/notes/json-custom-slug`
+- Verifies: Note exists in database with correct slug
+
+### Regression Testing
+
+All existing Micropub tests continue to pass, confirming:
+- Authentication still works correctly
+- Scope checking still works correctly
+- Auto-generated slugs still work when no `mp-slug` provided
+- Content extraction still works correctly
+- Title and category handling still works correctly
+
+## Validation Against Requirements
+
+Per the architect's bug report (`docs/reports/custom-slug-bug-diagnosis.md`):
+
+- [x] Extract `mp-slug` from raw request data
+- [x] Extract BEFORE calling `normalize_properties()`
+- [x] Handle both form-encoded (list) and JSON (string or list) formats
+- [x] Pass `custom_slug` to `create_note()`
+- [x] Add tests for both request formats
+- [x] Ensure existing tests still pass
+
+## Architecture Compliance
+
+The fix maintains architectural correctness:
+
+1. **Separation of Concerns**: `mp-slug` is correctly treated as a server extension parameter, not a Micropub property
+2. **Existing Validation Pipeline**: The slug still goes through all validation in `create_note()`:
+   - Reserved slug checking
+   - Uniqueness checking with suffix generation if needed
+   - Sanitization
+3. **No Breaking Changes**: All existing functionality preserved
+4. **Micropub Spec Compliance**: Aligns with how `mp-*` extensions should be handled
+
+## Deployment Notes
+
+### What to Test in Production
+
+1. **Create note with custom slug via Quill**:
+   - Use Quill client to create a note
+   - Specify a custom slug in the slug field
+   - Verify the created note uses your specified slug
+
+2. **Create note without custom slug**:
+   - Create a note without specifying a slug
+   - Verify auto-generation still works
+
+3. **Reserved slug handling**:
+   - Try to create a note with slug "api" or "admin"
+   - Should be rejected with validation error
+
+4. **Duplicate slug handling**:
+   - Create a note with slug "test-slug"
+   - Try to create another with the same slug
+   - Should get "test-slug-xxxx" with random suffix
+
+### Known Issues
+
+None. The fix is clean and complete.
+
+### Version Impact
+
+This fix will be included in **v1.1.0-rc.2** (or next release).

+
+## Conclusion
+
+The custom slug feature is now fully functional. The bug was a simple timing issue in the extraction logic - trying to get `mp-slug` after it had been filtered out. The fix is clean, well-tested, and maintains all existing functionality while enabling the custom slug feature as originally designed.
+
+The implementation follows the architect's design exactly and adds comprehensive test coverage for future regression prevention.
