cproudlock 8fc6df8f0a Describe the API this branch actually serves
docs/openapi.json is served live at /api/docs on the production box and
documented none of the routes added since 2026-09-11. It is generated from
docs/api-inventory.json, which is not tracked on this branch, so the generator
had no input - and tests/test_api_inventory_parity.py skipped itself for the
same reason. No route here had ever been checked against the published contract.

The inventory is now generated from this branch's own url_map rather than
carried over from elsewhere, with each route's auth derived from the decorators
and gates on its view rather than guessed. A route whose gate cannot be
classified is marked for review, not quietly called public. gen_openapi.py can
refresh it from the live app, so this does not rot again, and human-authored
prose survives a refresh.

The parity test now RUNS instead of skipping.

The thing that mattered more than the missing pages: nine operations were
published with "security: []" - the machine-readable claim that no credentials
are needed - while their handlers require one. Two of them serve the bootstrap
installer and the agent package. A generated client, a firewall plan or anything
else reading the spec would have been told those are anonymous. Required auth is
now expressed as required, and a token-or-network gate is expressed as optional
auth with the network half named in the description, which is what it actually
is.

A test re-derives auth from the live app and fails when the committed inventory
disagrees, because the parity check only ever compared route lists: a wrong auth
string passed everything.

test_openapi_spec.py asserted that optional auth was the majority of the
surface, a premise the guest-role and permission model has made false. It now
holds the property that matters - an optional-auth route is expressed as
optional - rather than a count that was true once.

gen_openapi.py also loads .env before building the app, like every other script
that builds one, or a plain python run falls back to the hardcoded localhost URL.

"""Every route the app serves is described in docs/api-inventory.json.
The inventory has two halves. Its STRUCTURE - surface, method, path and the auth
each route actually enforces - is derived from the live url_map and the
decorators on each view by `gen_openapi.py --refresh`. Its PROSE - what an
endpoint is FOR, what it accepts, a worked example - is human, and a refresh
never overwrites words that are already there.
This module is the coverage half of that, and it is the half a generator cannot
do for you: a refresh describes whatever is served at the moment it runs, so
without a gate the file rots the moment the next route lands.
It had. On this branch the inventory was not tracked at all, so the skipif below
fired, this module reported green while checking nothing, and 24 routes went to
production documented nowhere - including the whole endpoint-agent delivery
surface and both kiosks. scripts/check-gates-ran.sh now asserts this module RAN,
in every checkout rather than only in one with wiki prose in it.
So: add a route, run `gen_openapi.py --refresh`, and replace the seeded purpose
with the reason the route exists - which is while the author still knows it.

# The two tests above check that a route EXISTS in both directions. Nothing
# checked what the entry SAYS about it, so a wrong or stale auth string passed
# every gate in the repo - and auth is the field a site reads to decide what its
# guest role and its firewall may reach, and the field the published spec turns
# into a machine-readable security requirement.
#
# It had rotted exactly that way: nine operations documented as needing no
# credential while the handler required one, and a kiosk route documented as
# ungated when its gate is a single-use setup code. Both survived a refresh,
# because a refresh only rewrites; nothing compared.
#
# So this re-derives auth from the live app with the generator's own classifier
# and fails on any disagreement with the committed file. The derivation is
# authoritative: hand-editing an auth string in the inventory does not survive
# the next --refresh, so the fix for a wrong one is always to teach the sweep in
# scripts/gen_openapi.py, or to gate the view.
