An external id is half of every ingest dedup key — (userId, source, externalId), (userId, externalSource, externalId), (userId, type, source, externalId). Re-posting the same triple is idempotent and returns the existing row, which holds only while the id is stable across client launches. A client that serialised an opaque platform object with its default object description sent a per-allocation memory address instead, so no sweep ever matched its own earlier row and each one minted a fresh record: a live instance grew 23 phantom medications in a day, none of which could collect a dose, because the dose side resolved through the same rotating string. Add one shared classifier for identifiers that provably cannot be an identity — an angle-bracketed object description carrying a hex pointer, a bare 0x address, and a blank value — and wire it at every surface that accepts a client-supplied externalId. Single-entry creates refuse through the schema, so the client gets the standard 422 multi-issue envelope with a message naming the shape it sent and what to send instead. Batch and bulk surfaces classify per entry and report the offending row as skipped with reason unstable_external_id, leaving the rest of the payload to land: one bad row must not stop a sync. Every refusal carries pinned wide-event meta (count, shape, surface) and never the id itself. A structural guard freezes both routes into the floor: a request-side externalId declaration either applies the field check or carries a marker naming the file that checks it per entry, and the guard verifies that file really does. The backup-restore payload is the one exemption, with its reason recorded — it replays ids the server itself wrote.
HealthLog API Spec
openapi.yaml is the canonical OpenAPI 3.1 description for the HealthLog
Next.js API. It is the source of truth for the native iOS client's
DTO codegen.
The MCP server is documented separately — it is a distinct contract over JSON-RPC, not part of the REST OpenAPI spec:
mcp-capabilities.md— the tool, resource, and prompt catalogue, the grounding contract, and the write model.mcp-skills.md— building a connector or skill on top of it.../self-hosting/mcp.md— enabling and connecting the surface (operator guide).

The spec is expected to be lint-clean (errors = 0). Some warnings are intentional:
no-server-example.com—http://localhost:3000is the dev server.operation-2xx-response/operation-4xx-response— webhook + redirect endpoints intentionally omit one or the other.no-unused-components—ReminderPhaseis exposed for client codegen even though no path response references it directly.

Conventions
- Successful responses use the envelope
{ data, error: null }. - Error responses use the envelope
{ data: null, error: '<message>' }. - Pagination uses
limit+offsetquery parameters and ameta: { total, limit, offset }block on the response. - All timestamps are ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 (
format: date-time) in UTC. - IDs are CUIDs (opaque strings).
Updating the spec
When adding or changing routes:
- Update the relevant route handler under
src/app/api/**/route.ts. - Mirror the change in
openapi.yaml. KeepoperationIdcamelCase and stable — the iOS codegen keys off it. - Run
npx @redocly/cli lint docs/api/openapi.yamland resolve all errors. Warnings are tolerated when documented above. - Bump
info.versionif the change is breaking for clients.
