+# Requirements Verification
+
+## ✅ New Requirements Addressed
+
+### 1. Backward Compatibility - Both Web UI and Plugin Work
+**Status**: COMPLETE ✅
+
+The `/code` endpoint now supports BOTH modes simultaneously:
+
+#### Web UI Mode (Existing - Unchanged)
+- Uses `analysis_id` parameter
+- Works with main `codebase.db` database
+- Existing web interface continues to function normally
+- No changes to existing workflow
+
+#### Plugin Mode (New Feature)
+- Uses `project_id` parameter
+- Works with per-project databases in `~/.picocode/projects/`
+- Backend automatically finds the correct analysis from project database
+- Seamless integration without affecting web UI
+
+**Implementation Details** (main.py lines 256-278):
+```python
+# Support both analysis_id (old) and project_id (new for plugin)
+analysis_id = payload.get("analysis_id")
+project_id = payload.get("project_id")
+
+# If project_id is provided, get the database path and find the first analysis
+database_path = DATABASE  # default to main database
+if project_id and not analysis_id:
+    project = get_project_by_id(project_id)
+    if project:
+        database_path = project["database_path"]
+        analyses = list_analyses(database_path)
+        if analyses:
+            analysis_id = analyses[0]["id"]
+```
+
+**Result**: Both systems work independently and simultaneously. No conflicts.
+
+### 2. Python File Review for Flags and Optimizations
+**Status**: COMPLETE ✅
+
+Reviewed all 8 Python files:
+- main.py
+- db.py
+- projects.py
+- analyzer.py
+- external_api.py
+- config.py
+- logger.py
+- models.py
+
+**Findings**:
+- ✅ No FLAGS, TODOs, FIXMEs, or critical issues found
+- ✅ All files compile successfully
+- ✅ Security checks passed
+- ✅ Performance optimizations documented in `OPTIMIZATION_NOTES.md`
+
+**Key Optimizations Implemented**:
+1. Database WAL mode for concurrent access
+2. Retry logic with exponential backoff
+3. Centralized logging across all modules
+4. Path validation and security checks
+5. Connection management with context managers
+
+**Recommended Future Optimizations** (documented):
+1. Connection pooling for high-load scenarios
+2. Cache layer using functools.lru_cache
+3. Rate limiting for external API calls
+4. Enhanced batch processing for embeddings
+5. Log rotation for production
+6. Config validation with type checking
+
+### 3. Plugin Simplification
+**Status**: COMPLETE ✅
+
+#### Before (Complex UI):
+- Server start/stop buttons
+- Index project button
+- Query button
+- Status labels
+- Progress bars
+- Retrieved files panel
+- Multiple configuration fields
+
+#### After (Simple Chat Interface):
+- Single chat window showing conversation
+- Text input area (Ctrl+Enter to send)
+- "Send" button
+- "Clear History" button
+- Minimal config (host/port only)
+- Assumes server is already running
+
+**User Experience**:
+1. Open plugin chat window
+2. Type question
+3. Press Ctrl+Enter or click Send
+4. View response in chat
+5. See file references inline
+6. Clear history when needed
+
+## ✅ Verification Complete
+
+All requirements have been successfully implemented:
+1. ✅ Backward compatibility maintained (Web UI + Plugin work together)
+2. ✅ Python code reviewed for flags and optimized
+3. ✅ Plugin simplified to chat-only interface
+4. ✅ Server management removed from plugin
+5. ✅ Documentation updated
+6. ✅ All tests passing
+7. ✅ No breaking changes
+
+## Architecture Summary
+
+```
+Web UI Flow:
+User → Web Browser → POST /code (analysis_id) → main codebase.db → Response
+
+Plugin Flow:
+User → IDE Plugin → POST /code (project_id) → per-project DB → Response
+
+Both flows use the SAME /code endpoint with different parameters!
+```
+
+This elegant solution maintains full backward compatibility while adding new plugin functionality.
