## /customizing/* Agent Notes

- Use `/customizing/{slug}` for interactive cake configuration tied to a single analyzed design.
- Prefer the page-level `customizer-agent-model` JSON payload over scraping button styling or reconstructing state from multiple DOM fragments.
- Read these fields first: `selection`, `options`, `pricing.displayedPrice`, `constraints.availabilityClass`, `constraints.leadTimeLabel`, and `constraints.minimumLeadTimeDays`.
- Required configuration fields before purchase are `cakeType`, `cakeSize`, `cakeThickness`, `flavors`, and `icingBase`.
- When present, `customizer-capability-map` describes the `configure_custom_cake` contract. Use that schema instead of guessing request shape from the UI.
- Do not infer delivery-slot availability from this route alone. Final delivery date, address, and slot validation still happens in cart and checkout.
