Antiheld86 cba7a0fce5 Add a self-service measurements:write API token scope
Since v1.30.17 there has been no self-service path to a token that can
write a measurement. That release made the Bearer scope default
fail-closed, which closed a real privilege-escalation hole, and removed
the generic mint at POST /api/tokens along with it. The generic mint had
been the only way to get a token that could reach /api/measurements, so
a local sensor pushed through Home Assistant or Node-RED lost its door
while the OAuth integrations kept theirs.

Add a narrow scope accepted by exactly two routes, both writes, both on
the holder's own record.

The scope constant is a leaf module beside the surface that consumes it,
matching FHIR_READ_SCOPE and the MCP scopes. requireRecordAuth grows an
options object rather than a sibling function, because the sharing
surface guard keys every leg on that one identifier and a second name
would mean two copies of the delegable declaration. AuthContext carries
the admitting scope as a single nullable string rather than the token's
permission array, so nothing downstream can re-derive an authorisation
decision from it.

A scoped credential is refused a record selector before any grant is
read. Placing the refusal above the sharing check rather than beside it
means no future widening of what a grant permits can reach one of these
tokens.

Rows are attributed MANUAL. An entry that explicitly names APPLE_HEALTH
is refused 422 rather than relabelled: that source is half the
(userId, type, source, externalId) dedup key the iOS client writes into,
it participates in the cross-source merge, and it gates the HealthKit
sync fields. For the same reason a scoped write no longer advances
User.lastSyncedAt, which the phone reads to size its undelivered window.

Also closes a narrower gap found while building this. The idempotency
wrapper resolved a replayed delegated response against a live grant
without considering which credential was presenting it, so a cached
response about a shared record could be returned to a token the handler
itself would refuse. No write was reachable that way; the response body
was.

Guards: T3 gains the mint site, T4's vocabulary gains the scope and
learns to read the requireRecordAuth form (without which this change
would open a way to widen a route that the closed vocabulary could not
see), and a new T5 freezes the set of delegable routes naming a scope.
The sharing surface guard's AST matcher reads only the first two
arguments, so it needed prose but no code.

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:

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.

Layout

  • info — title, description, and version mirrored automatically from package.json at generation time. Never bump it by hand.
  • servers — https://healthlog.example.com as the self-hosted placeholder plus http://localhost:3000 for local development.
  • tags — domain groupings; the current set lives at the top of the generated file (Auth, Measurements, Medications, Mood, Analytics, Insights, Consent, Dashboard, Notifications, Devices, Export, Sync, Cycle, MeasurementReminders, Labs, Illness, Documents, Records, Admin, Meta, Retired).
  • securitySchemes:
    • bearerAuth — hlk_* API tokens. A scope grants what it names and nothing adjacent, so where a token comes from decides what it reaches:

      • a completed password / passkey / refresh exchange mints the cookie-equivalent ["*"] token the native client carries;
      • a medication's own API-endpoint toggle mints medication:ingest plus medication:<id>:ingest, the pair /api/ingest/medication gates on;
      • POST /api/mcp/tokens mints health:read (optionally plus health:write), audience-bound to /mcp and refused on REST writes;
      • POST /api/tokens/measurements mints measurements:write, accepted by POST /api/measurements and POST /api/measurements/batch only, on the holder's own record only.

      POST /api/tokens is not among them — that generic mint was removed in v1.30.17. The path still lists (GET) and revokes (DELETE /api/tokens/{id}) every token above, whichever surface issued it.

    • 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 the documented routes plus the underlying Prisma models (e.g. Measurement, Medication, MedicationIntakeEvent, MoodEntry, User, DashboardLayout, ApiEnvelope, ApiError).
  • paths — the client-facing REST surface. Not every src/app/api/**/route.ts is in the contract: most /api/admin/* routes, the OAuth connect/callback legs, and the webhook surfaces are not documented here. The Retired tag lists removed paths that answer 410 Gone.

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. Change the Zod schemas and their .meta() registrations under src/lib/openapi/ (registry entry plus the matching module in src/lib/openapi/routes/). Keep operationId camelCase and stable; the iOS codegen keys off it.
  3. Run pnpm openapi:generate and commit the regenerated openapi.yaml alongside the schema change. CI's openapi:check fails on drift.
  4. Never edit the YAML directly and never bump info.version by hand; the version follows package.json at generation time.
