An iPhone build that predates custom categories decodes an unknown category
as OTHER and sends it back on every edit. A Bearer update sending OTHER over
a custom category now keeps the custom one; the web can still move it back.
A medication can be filed under a category the person named, next to the
built-in ones (#1041). The labels live in medication_category_labels,
encrypted at rest, capped at 20 per account; a medication filed under one
carries its custom:<uuid> key in the category column.
- GET/POST /api/medications/categories (POST idempotent, 30/min per actor,
admitted at MANAGE like the cycle symptom vocabulary) and owner-only
PATCH/DELETE /api/medications/categories/{key}. DELETE moves every
medication filed under the category to OTHER in the same transaction
and answers movedCount.
- category is widened to a built-in value or custom:<uuid> on the wire,
the create and update bodies refuse a key that is not the caller's
(422 medications.category.unknown), and list, detail, the insights
medication tiles and the MCP medications resource carry categoryLabel.
A key with no owned label reads as OTHER and is counted on the event.
- The wizard's class step lists the person's categories under the
built-in rows with an inline add row; the list page gains a category
filter (session only) and a manage sheet for rename, hide and delete.
- Backup carries customMedicationCategories (decrypted labels) and the
restore writes them before the medications; wipe plan, encrypted
column registry, rotation script, sharing guards and OpenAPI follow.
