Marc-André Bombeck 893db887e9 Record why a document's index attempt failed and say so
A content-index attempt that failed (raster failure, a scan with no
text layer, a provider error) recorded its reason only in the server's
observability stream. In the vault, hasContentIndex false looked
identical for a document nobody ever tried and one that failed three
times, and the detail sheet had nothing to say about either.

Apply the summaryState pattern to the index. Two additive columns on
InboundDocument (migration 0333) record when the last attempt finished
and why it produced no index, as a closed reason set: local-empty,
local-unsupported, decrypt-error, raster-failed, provider-error,
pdf-needs-anthropic, empty-transcription. The writer sits at the choke
point the auto job and the corpus backfill share, and in the manual
index route; a success clears the reason. The provider path's specific
failure now survives the local fallback, since "no text" is less
actionable than "the PDF would not render". rasterizePdf names its
failure class so a build that cannot rasterize at all is distinguished
from a PDF that would not render. New guard in both index paths: an
empty provider transcription never becomes a successful empty index.

The detail sheet renders the reason in plain words (muted, six
locales). The DTO and OpenAPI carry the two fields; the disaster
recovery backup and restore carry them verbatim like their summary
siblings.

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:

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.
