The session also aligned auth-token coverage, expanded route and protocol tests, updated the phase tracker and docs, and aligned the workspace version manifests with the protocol runtime version. *** ## Deliverables ### Files Created | File | Purpose | Lines | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | | `packages/protocol/src/rest.ts` | Shared REST route status, capability, request, and error-envelope contracts | \~120 | | `packages/protocol/tests/rest.test.ts` | Protocol tests for route status vocabulary and REST contract exports | \~90 | | `apps/server/src/lib/requestValidation.ts` | Server request validation helpers for boundary checks and JSON errors | \~160 | | `apps/server/src/lib/unsupportedRoutes.ts` | Historical route-family classifier and deterministic 501 response builder | \~140 | | `apps/server/tests/authBoundaries.test.ts` | Auth-token tests across read, write, and unsupported route families | \~140 | | `apps/server/tests/unsupportedRoutes.test.ts` | Tests for historical route-family 501 payloads and War Room separation | \~170 | | `.spec_system/specs/phase01-session04-server-routes-and-authorization-boundaries/IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md` | Session closure summary | \~80 | ### Files Modified | File | Changes | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `packages/protocol/src/index.ts` | Exported REST contracts | | `apps/server/src/server.ts` | Wired unsupported-route helper into the catch-all and preserved auth/rate-limit ordering | | `apps/server/src/routes/heroes.ts` | Validated mission list limits, notice bodies, severity, targets, scroll collect bodies, and War Room stub metadata | | `apps/server/src/routes/permission.ts` | Validated IDs and optional booleans for permission and plan approval responses | | `apps/server/src/routes/event.ts` | Aligned `/event` invalid-body responses with shared route error conventions where practical | | `apps/server/tests/routes.test.ts` | Extended route coverage for notice validation, pagination bounds, scroll collect bodies, and stub metadata | | `apps/server/tests/permission.test.ts` | Extended permission and plan approval coverage for malformed IDs, invalid booleans, and duplicate-safe responses | | `docs/api/README_api.md` | Updated concise route status, auth, validation, and unsupported-route behavior | | `docs/api/event-api-hook-contracts.md` | Updated detailed route classification, source traceability, and Phase 01 hardening notes | | `apps/server/README_server.md` | Aligned server README route notes with validation, auth, and capability behavior | | `.spec_system/state.json` | Marked session complete and advanced session history | | `.spec_system/PRD/phase_01/PRD_phase_01.md` | Updated phase progress, completed session tracker, and validation date | | `.spec_system/specs/phase01-session04-server-routes-and-authorization-boundaries/spec.md` | Marked session spec completed | | `apps/adapters/package.json` | Bumped workspace package version | | `apps/cli/package.json` | Bumped workspace package version | | `apps/hooks/package.json` | Bumped workspace package version | | `apps/server/package.json` | Bumped workspace package version | | `apps/warroom/package.json` | Bumped workspace package version | | `apps/web/package.json` | Bumped workspace package version | | `packages/protocol/package.json` | Bumped workspace package version | | `packages/protocol/src/index.ts` | Aligned runtime version constant | | `package.json` | Bumped root patch version | | `package-lock.json` | Bumped root lockfile version | *** ## Technical Decisions 1. **Explicit unsupported-route classification**: used a dedicated helper so historical routes return stable 501 capability data instead of looking like accidental 404s. 2. **Boundary validation without new dependencies**: kept request validation in local helpers to avoid introducing a runtime dependency for a small set of route checks. *** ## Test Results | Metric | Value | | -------- | ------- | | Tests | 6 files | | Passed | 6 files | | Coverage | N/A | *** ## Lessons Learned 1. The current local server boundary is clearer when unsupported historical routes are classified explicitly in the response body. 2. Route-level validation is easiest to keep stable when the error envelope is shared between protocol and server tests. *** ## Future Considerations Items for future sessions: 1. Continue Phase 01 with WebSocket hydration and archive/export privacy. 2. Keep route docs aligned with any future capability changes so the current server surface stays obvious to operators. *** ## Session Statistics * **Tasks**: 21 completed * **Files Created**: 7 * **Files Modified**: 21 * **Tests Added**: 0 * **Blockers**: 0 resolved --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase01-session04-server-routes-and-authorization-boundaries/implementation_summary.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
