Marc-André Bombeck 8e16df6894 feat(documents): make the document-AI rate limit an operator setting with honest accounting
The document-AI actions (read/index, extract, suggest, summarise) shared a
hard-coded 6/hour bucket that lied twice: the 429 said "try again in a few
minutes" while the window is an hour, and several failure paths burned a
slot before any provider was dispatched.

- DOCUMENT_AI_LIMIT_PER_HOUR configures the shared per-user ceiling
  (default 6, clamped 1-1000), wired end to end: compose environment
  whitelist, .env.production.example, env manifest, operator docs.
- INSIGHTS_RATE_LIMIT_PER_HOUR joins the compose whitelist and manifest;
  it was documented but never listed, so an operator value could not reach
  the container.
- The 429 mirrors the bucket's reset instant into meta.retryAt (plus the
  existing X-RateLimit-Reset header); the client derives "try again in
  about N minutes" from it in all six locales, with a plural-aware key.
- A slot is consumed only when a request actually reaches the provider (or
  the local index/echo work): malformed bodies, unreadable originals,
  refused consent, and exhausted daily budgets refund the charged slot via
  a window-scoped refundRateLimit primitive. Consistent across all four
  routes sharing the bucket.

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:

Preview locally

Open an interactive Redoc preview in your browser:

npx @redocly/cli preview docs/api/openapi.yaml

Generate static HTML for sharing:

npx @redocly/cli build-docs docs/api/openapi.yaml --output docs/api/index.html

Validate

npx @redocly/cli lint docs/api/openapi.yaml

The spec is expected to be lint-clean (errors = 0). Some warnings are intentional:

  • no-server-example.com — http://localhost:3000 is the dev server.
  • operation-2xx-response / operation-4xx-response — webhook + redirect endpoints intentionally omit one or the other.
  • no-unused-components — ReminderPhase is exposed for client codegen even though no path response references it directly.

Layout

  • info — title, version (mirrored from package.json), description.
  • servers — production https://healthlog.bombeck.io plus http://localhost:3000 for local development.
  • tags — domain groupings (Auth, Measurements, Medications, Mood, Dashboard, Insights, Achievements, DoctorReport, Integrations, User, Tokens, Notifications, Onboarding, Health, Settings, Analytics, Export, AuditLog, Monitoring, Webhooks, Ingest, Admin).
  • securitySchemes:
    • bearerAuth — long-lived hlk_* API tokens issued via POST /api/tokens. Required on /api/ingest/medication.
    • sessionCookie — HttpOnly healthlog_session cookie set by the password and passkey login flows. Used by the web app and any iOS client running inside a web view.
  • components.schemas — DTOs for all routes plus the underlying Prisma models (e.g. Measurement, Medication, MedicationIntakeEvent, MoodEntry, User, DashboardLayout, ApiEnvelope, ApiError).
  • paths — all routes from src/app/api/**/route.ts, including the /api/admin/* family which is tagged Admin and marked internal.

Conventions

  • Successful responses use the envelope { data, error: null }.
  • Error responses use the envelope { data: null, error: '<message>' }.
  • Pagination uses limit + offset query parameters and a meta: { 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:

  1. Update the relevant route handler under src/app/api/**/route.ts.
  2. Mirror the change in openapi.yaml. Keep operationId camelCase and stable — the iOS codegen keys off it.
  3. Run npx @redocly/cli lint docs/api/openapi.yaml and resolve all errors. Warnings are tolerated when documented above.
  4. Bump info.version if the change is breaking for clients.
