The write-level row listed "a vaccination dose and the booster reminder it suggests" three paragraphs under a section table that puts the vaccination record in Health background. Read together, that tells a self-hoster a health-background WRITE grant can plan a booster — which the route beside it now refuses, because the reminder it mints lives under Readings. The row lists the dose alone, and the exceptions paragraph, which is where a reader looks for exactly this, carries the two-section case and says the dose logs either way. With it, the small things the same pass turned up: The cycle-insights fixture asserted a property it could not show. Its docblock claims the cycle-native answer survives the fence, and it seeded no symptom at all, so `symptomPatterns` was empty in every leg and a regression that emptied it along with the foreign columns would have passed green. One catalogue symptom on the luteal days, asserted on the owner leg and on the cycle-only one. The immunization rows matched on a bare `role="button"`, which passes vacuously the day the card becomes a real button and fails for the wrong reason if anything else in the subtree grows one. They carry the same stable marker the visit card took. `/api/cycle/calendar` reads the same wrist-temperature channel the crosstab does and is deliberately not fenced, and it was the only one of the pair with nothing saying why: no value from it reaches the response. The encrypted export's new 403 documented the switch refusal and not the narrow-scope one it answers first, unlike the two settings operations beside it. Both sheets say at the top that their Save and Delete are gated at the caller, so a third mount reads the constraint before it violates it. And one docblock line ran past the wrap.
HealthLog API Spec
openapi.yaml is the OpenAPI 3.1 description for the HealthLog
Next.js API and the source of truth for the native iOS client's DTO
codegen. The file is generated: pnpm openapi:generate emits it
from the Zod registry under src/lib/openapi/ (registry.ts plus the
route modules in src/lib/openapi/routes/). Do not edit the YAML by
hand; the next generation overwrites it, and CI (openapi:check)
fails the build when the committed YAML drifts from the registry.
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). Warnings such as
no-server-example.com for the localhost dev server are tolerated;
re-run the lint to see what it produces against the current file
before treating a warning as a regression.

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. - Change the Zod schemas and their
.meta()registrations undersrc/lib/openapi/(registry entry plus the matching module insrc/lib/openapi/routes/). KeepoperationIdcamelCase and stable; the iOS codegen keys off it. - Run
pnpm openapi:generateand commit the regeneratedopenapi.yamlalongside the schema change. CI'sopenapi:checkfails on drift. - Never edit the YAML directly and never bump
info.versionby hand; the version followspackage.jsonat generation time.
