# turnstone Web Server API Reference

## Overview

`turnstone-server` exposes a browser-based chat UI backed by a
**Starlette** ASGI application served by **uvicorn**. The server uses
**Server-Sent Events (SSE)** via `sse-starlette` for real-time streaming
and **HTTP POST** for user actions.

All API responses use `Content-Type: application/json` unless otherwise noted.
CORS headers (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`) are included on every response.

The server supports multiple concurrent **workstreams** (tabs), each backed by
an independent `ChatSession` and event queue.

---

## API Versioning

All API endpoints use the `/v1/` prefix. Non-API endpoints (`/`, `/health`, `/metrics`, `/openapi.json`, `/docs`, `/static/*`, `/shared/*`) are unversioned.

### Interactive Documentation

- **OpenAPI spec**: `GET /openapi.json` — machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 schema
- **Swagger UI**: `GET /docs` — interactive API explorer (loads from CDN)

### Client SDKs

Typed client libraries for programmatic access to both the server and console APIs.

**Python** (included in the `turnstone` package):

```python
from turnstone.sdk import TurnstoneServer

with TurnstoneServer("http://localhost:8080", token="tok_xxx") as client:
    ws = client.create_workstream(name="demo")
    result = client.send_and_wait("Hello!", ws.ws_id)
    print(result.content)
```

Async variant: `AsyncTurnstoneServer` / `AsyncTurnstoneConsole`.

**TypeScript** (`sdk/typescript/`):

```typescript
import { TurnstoneServer } from "@turnstone/sdk";

const client = new TurnstoneServer({ baseUrl: "http://localhost:8080", token: "tok_xxx" });
const ws = await client.createWorkstream({ name: "demo" });
const result = await client.sendAndWait("Hello!", ws.ws_id);
console.log(result.content);
```

---

## Authentication

Auth is always enabled. All API endpoints except public paths require a valid token.

### Sending Credentials

Include a token in one of two ways:

- **Bearer header**: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
- **Cookie**: the surface-scoped auth cookie — `turnstone_auth_server` on
  turnstone-server, `turnstone_auth_console` on turnstone-console (set
  automatically by the login endpoint). The names differ so the two surfaces,
  when co-hosted on one origin, don't overwrite each other's session.

The server accepts two token types:

| Type | Format | Example |
|------|--------|---------|
| JWT | Base64 segments separated by dots | `eyJhbG...` |
| API token | `ts_` prefix + 64 hex chars | `ts_a1b2c3d4...` |

JWTs are the recommended credential for browser sessions. API tokens are suitable for programmatic access and CI/CD.

### `POST /v1/api/auth/login`

Authenticate with credentials and receive a JWT. Accepts two credential formats:

**Username + password:**

```json
{"username": "alice", "password": "hunter2"}
```

**API token:**

```json
{"token": "ts_a1b2c3d4e5f6..."}
```

**Response (success):** `200`

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "role": "full",
  "scopes": "approve,read,write",
  "jwt": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "user_id": "u_abc123"
}
```

The response also sets a surface-scoped HttpOnly cookie containing the JWT
(`turnstone_auth_server` on turnstone-server, `turnstone_auth_console` on turnstone-console).

**Response (failure):** `401`

```json
{"error": "Invalid credentials"}
```

---

### `POST /v1/api/auth/logout`

Clears the surface-scoped auth cookie (`turnstone_auth_server` /
`turnstone_auth_console`). No request body required.

**Response:** `200`

```json
{"status": "ok"}
```

The response includes a `Set-Cookie` header that expires the auth cookie.

---

### `GET /v1/api/auth/status`

Returns the current authentication state. Works with or without a valid token.

**Response (authenticated):** `200`

```json
{
  "authenticated": true,
  "user_id": "u_abc123",
  "scopes": ["approve", "read", "write"],
  "source": "jwt"
}
```

**Response (not authenticated):** `200`

```json
{
  "authenticated": false,
  "user_id": null,
  "scopes": [],
  "source": null
}
```

**Response (auth disabled):** `200`

```json
{
  "authenticated": false,
  "auth_enabled": false
}
```

---

### `POST /v1/api/auth/setup`

Creates the first admin user when no users exist in the database. This is a
public endpoint (no authentication required) that only succeeds when auth is
enabled and the user database is empty. Both the server and console expose
this endpoint.

**Request body:**

```json
{
  "username": "admin",
  "display_name": "Admin",
  "password": "strongpass"
}
```

| Field          | Type   | Required | Validation                  |
|----------------|--------|----------|-----------------------------|
| `username`     | string | yes      | 1-64 ASCII characters       |
| `display_name` | string | yes      | Non-empty                   |
| `password`     | string | yes      | Minimum 8 characters        |

**Response (success):** `200`

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "user_id": "u_abc123",
  "username": "admin",
  "role": "full",
  "scopes": "approve,read,write",
  "jwt": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs..."
}
```

The response also sets a surface-scoped HttpOnly cookie containing the JWT
(`turnstone_auth_server` on turnstone-server, `turnstone_auth_console` on turnstone-console).

**Response (already set up):** `409`

```json
{"error": "Setup already completed"}
```

Returned when one or more users already exist in the database.

**Response (auth disabled):** `400`

```json
{"error": "Auth is not enabled"}
```

## Endpoints

### `GET /`

Serves the embedded single-page application (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript inlined
in a single document). The SPA connects to the SSE and POST endpoints listed
below.

**Response:** `text/html; charset=utf-8`

---

### `GET /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/events`

Opens a Server-Sent Events stream scoped to a single workstream. The connection
remains open indefinitely; the server pushes events as they occur.

**Path parameters:**

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description                |
|-----------|--------|----------|----------------------------|
| `ws_id`   | string | yes      | Workstream identifier      |

**Error:** Returns `404` with `{"error": "Unknown workstream"}` if `ws_id` is
not recognized.

#### Connection lifecycle

1. **`connected`** -- sent immediately on connect.

```json
{
  "type": "connected",
  "model": "kappa_20b_131k",
  "model_alias": "default",
  "skip_permissions": false
}
```

`skip_permissions` reflects the workstream's current auto-approve state. It is
`true` if the server was started with `--skip-permissions` or if the user chose
"Always approve" via the approval prompt during the session.

2. **`history`** -- replays the full conversation history so the client can
   rebuild its UI.

```json
{
  "type": "history",
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi there!", "tool_calls": null},
    {"role": "tool", "content": "..."}
  ]
}
```

Each message in the `messages` array has:

| Field        | Type              | Description                                   |
|--------------|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| `role`       | string            | `"user"`, `"assistant"`, or `"tool"`          |
| `content`    | string or null    | Text content of the message                   |
| `tool_calls` | array or null     | Present only on assistant messages with calls  |
| `reasoning`  | string (optional) | Concatenated reasoning / chain-of-thought text on assistant turns whose `provider_data` carried reasoning-bearing blocks (Anthropic `thinking`, OpenAI Responses `reasoning`, or synthetic `reasoning_text` from local-model servers). Present only when the active model's `surface_persisted_reasoning` flag is True. |

Each entry in `tool_calls`:

| Field       | Type   | Description                        |
|-------------|--------|------------------------------------|
| `name`      | string | Function name (e.g. `"bash"`)      |
| `arguments` | string | JSON-encoded argument string       |

#### Streaming events

After the initial `connected` and `history` frames, the server streams
real-time events as the model generates a response:

**`thinking_start`** -- the model has begun generating (shown as a spinner).

```json
{"type": "thinking_start"}
```

**`thinking_stop`** -- the spinner phase is over.

```json
{"type": "thinking_stop"}
```

**`reasoning`** -- a chunk of chain-of-thought reasoning text.

```json
{"type": "reasoning", "text": "Let me think about this..."}
```

**`content`** -- a chunk of the assistant's visible reply.

```json
{"type": "content", "text": "Here is the answer: "}
```

**`stream_end`** -- the model has finished generating. The client should
finalize any in-progress assistant message.

```json
{"type": "stream_end"}
```

**`state_change`** -- the worker thread transitioned to a new state. Drives
the client's busy-mode (composer in send vs. stop, spinner indicators,
auto-focus on idle). Sent live during normal operation AND on every fresh
SSE subscribe (so a mid-stream page refresh restores the correct composer
state without waiting for the next live transition).

```json
{"type": "state_change", "state": "running"}
```

| Field    | Type   | Description                                                          |
|----------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `state`  | string | One of `"running"`, `"thinking"`, `"attention"`, `"idle"`, `"error"` |

**`in_progress_snapshot`** -- one-shot replay of the in-progress turn's
content + reasoning text-so-far when this client connects mid-stream.
Lets a refreshing browser tab restore partial assistant text immediately
instead of waiting for the response to complete. Yielded once after the
kind-specific replay phase (history + pending), only when at least one
of `content` / `reasoning` is non-empty. Both halves render into the same
assistant bubble the live `content` / `reasoning` events would target;
clients should treat the snapshot as idempotent (skip overwrite if the
current local buffer is already a superset prefix — covers EventSource
auto-reconnect re-replays).

```json
{
  "type": "in_progress_snapshot",
  "content": "Here is the answer so far: it depends on ",
  "reasoning": "The user is asking about a comparison; let me think about..."
}
```

| Field        | Type   | Description                                                |
|--------------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| `content`    | string | Joined assistant content text accumulated this turn        |
| `reasoning`  | string | Joined reasoning / chain-of-thought text accumulated       |

**`tool_info`** -- one or more tool calls that were auto-approved (no user
action required).

```json
{
  "type": "tool_info",
  "items": [
    {
      "call_id": "call_abc123",
      "header": "bash: ls -la",
      "preview": "",
      "func_name": "bash",
      "approval_label": "bash",
      "needs_approval": false,
      "error": null
    }
  ]
}
```

**`approve_request`** -- one or more tool calls that require user approval. The
client must respond via `POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/approve`.

```json
{
  "type": "approve_request",
  "items": [
    {
      "call_id": "call_def456",
      "header": "bash: rm -rf /tmp/build",
      "preview": "",
      "func_name": "bash",
      "approval_label": "bash",
      "needs_approval": true,
      "error": null
    }
  ]
}
```

Each item in `items` (shared by `tool_info` and `approve_request`):

| Field            | Type        | Description                                      |
|------------------|-------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| `call_id`        | string      | Unique tool call ID (links chunks to results)    |
| `header`         | string      | Human-readable header line for the tool call     |
| `preview`        | string      | Diff or argument preview (may be empty)          |
| `func_name`      | string      | Function name (e.g. `"bash"`, `"edit_file"`)     |
| `approval_label` | string      | Display label for the approval prompt            |
| `needs_approval` | bool        | Whether this call requires explicit approval     |
| `error`          | string/null | Error description if the call was malformed      |

**`tool_output_chunk`** -- incremental streaming output from a bash tool execution. Sent line-by-line as stdout is produced. The `call_id` identifies the specific tool invocation (multiple bash tools may run in parallel).

```json
{"type": "tool_output_chunk", "call_id": "call_abc123", "chunk": "Building project...\n"}
```

**`tool_result`** -- final output from a completed tool execution. The `call_id` matches the corresponding `tool_info`/`approve_request` item and any preceding `tool_output_chunk` events. For bash tools, this arrives after all streaming chunks and includes both stdout and stderr. The `is_error` field is `true` when the tool execution failed (e.g. bash exit code >= 2 or signal, file not found, timeout). Exit code 1 is ambiguous (e.g. `grep` no-match) and is not flagged. User denials are tracked separately via a `denied` flag. Clients should use `is_error` instead of text-prefix heuristics.

```json
{"type": "tool_result", "call_id": "call_abc123", "name": "bash", "output": "file1.py\nfile2.py\n", "is_error": false}
```

**`status`** -- token usage statistics, sent after each model turn.

```json
{
  "type": "status",
  "prompt_tokens": 1024,
  "completion_tokens": 256,
  "total_tokens": 1280,
  "context_window": 131072,
  "pct": 1.0,
  "effort": "medium",
  "cache_creation_tokens": 800,
  "cache_read_tokens": 200
}
```

| Field                    | Type   | Description                                          |
|--------------------------|--------|------------------------------------------------------|
| `prompt_tokens`          | int    | Tokens in the prompt                                 |
| `completion_tokens`      | int    | Tokens generated by the model                        |
| `total_tokens`           | int    | `prompt_tokens + completion_tokens`                  |
| `context_window`         | int    | Total context window size in tokens                  |
| `pct`                    | float  | Percentage of context window used                    |
| `effort`                 | string | Reasoning effort level (`low`/`medium`/`high`)       |
| `cache_creation_tokens`  | int    | Tokens written to prompt cache (Anthropic)           |
| `cache_read_tokens`      | int    | Tokens served from prompt cache (Anthropic + OpenAI) |

**`info`** -- an informational message (e.g. command output).

```json
{"type": "info", "message": "Session cleared."}
```

**`error`** -- an error message.

```json
{"type": "error", "message": "Error: connection timed out"}
```

**`busy_error`** -- sent when a new message arrives while the model is already
processing.

```json
{"type": "busy_error", "message": "Already processing a request. Please wait."}
```

**`clear_ui`** -- instructs the client to clear all displayed messages (sent
after `/clear` or `/new` commands).

```json
{"type": "clear_ui"}
```

**`cancelled`** -- a cancel request was acknowledged (via the Stop button or
`POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/cancel`). This signals that cancellation is in progress, not
that it is complete. The worker thread may still be finishing — wait for
`stream_end` before transitioning to a ready state. The client should clear
any in-progress assistant rendering but not re-enable the send button until
`stream_end` arrives.

```json
{"type": "cancelled"}
```

**`intent_verdict`** -- delivered asynchronously when the LLM judge completes
its evaluation of a pending tool call. Only sent when intent validation is
enabled (`--judge` or `[judge] enabled = true`). The `call_id` correlates with
the item in the preceding `approve_request` event.

```json
{
  "type": "intent_verdict",
  "verdict_id": "f7e8d9c0b1a2",
  "call_id": "call_abc123",
  "func_name": "bash",
  "intent_summary": "Install Express.js web framework via npm",
  "risk_level": "medium",
  "confidence": 0.85,
  "recommendation": "review",
  "reasoning": "The command installs express from npm. This is a well-known package but will modify node_modules and package.json.",
  "evidence": ["Checked package.json -- express is not currently a dependency"],
  "tier": "llm",
  "judge_model": "gpt-5",
  "latency_ms": 2340
}
```

| Field            | Type       | Description                                            |
|------------------|------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `verdict_id`     | string     | Unique verdict identifier                              |
| `call_id`        | string     | Tool call ID (matches `approve_request` item)          |
| `func_name`      | string     | Tool function name                                     |
| `intent_summary` | string     | One-sentence description of the tool call's intent     |
| `risk_level`     | string     | `"low"`, `"medium"`, `"high"`, or `"critical"`         |
| `confidence`     | float      | 0.0--1.0 confidence in the assessment                  |
| `recommendation` | string     | `"approve"`, `"review"`, or `"deny"`                   |
| `reasoning`      | string     | Evidence-based explanation                             |
| `evidence`       | list       | Supporting evidence (file excerpts, rule names)        |
| `tier`           | string     | Always `"llm"` for this event                          |
| `judge_model`    | string     | Model that produced the verdict                        |
| `latency_ms`     | int        | Evaluation time in milliseconds                        |

When intent validation is active, the `approve_request` event is also extended:
each item in `items` gains a `verdict` field containing the heuristic verdict
(same schema as above but with `tier: "heuristic"`), and the event gains a
top-level `judge_pending` boolean indicating whether an LLM verdict is in
flight.

#### Keepalive

The server sends an SSE comment every 5 seconds when no events are pending:

```
: keepalive

```

This prevents proxies and browsers from closing the connection due to
inactivity.

#### Multi-consumer fan-out

Each SSE connection to a workstream receives its own delivery queue.  Events
produced by the worker thread are fanned out to all registered listener queues,
so multiple consumers (browser, console proxy, SDK) can connect
simultaneously and each receives every event.  On reconnect the client receives
the kind-specific replay (`connected` + `status` + `history` + pending
approval / plan for interactive; `connected` + `status` + pending for coord)
followed by a `state_change` carrying the current worker state and an
optional `in_progress_snapshot` carrying any partial content / reasoning
buffered for the in-progress turn — so a mid-stream refresh restores both
the busy-mode UI and the partial assistant text without waiting for the
response to complete.

---

### `GET /v1/api/events/global`

Opens a Server-Sent Events stream that broadcasts state-change events across
all workstreams. This is used by the tab bar to display per-workstream activity
indicators.

**Events:**

```json
{"type": "ws_state", "ws_id": "abc123", "state": "thinking"}
```

| Field   | Type   | Description              |
|---------|--------|--------------------------|
| `ws_id` | string | Workstream identifier    |
| `state` | string | Current workstream state |

Possible `state` values:

| State       | Description                                     |
|-------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| `idle`      | No active processing                            |
| `thinking`  | Model is generating a response                  |
| `running`   | Tool execution in progress                      |
| `attention` | Waiting for user input (approval or plan review)|
| `error`     | An error occurred                               |

**Fan-out pattern:** Each connected client receives its own bounded queue
(`maxsize=1000`). A dedicated fan-out thread reads from the shared global queue
and copies each event to every client queue. If a client queue is full, the
event is silently dropped for that client.

**Keepalive:** Same as `/v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/events` -- an SSE comment every 5 seconds.

---

### `GET /v1/api/workstreams`

Returns a list of all active workstreams.

**Response:**

```json
{
  "workstreams": [
    {"ws_id": "abc123", "name": "default", "state": "idle"},
    {"ws_id": "def456", "name": "hacker-news", "state": "thinking"}
  ]
}
```

Each workstream object:

| Field        | Type        | Description                                            |
|--------------|-------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `ws_id`      | string      | Unique workstream routing identifier                   |
| `name`       | string      | Display name (alias if set, otherwise `ws-xxxx`)       |
| `state`      | string      | Current state (see state values above)                 |

---

### `GET /v1/api/workstreams/saved`

Returns a list of saved workstreams from the database, ordered by most recently
updated.

**Response:**

```json
{
  "workstreams": [
    {
      "ws_id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
      "alias": "refactor",
      "title": "JWT Authentication Refactor",
      "created": "2026-03-01 10:00:00",
      "updated": "2026-03-01 11:30:00",
      "message_count": 42
    }
  ]
}
```

Each saved workstream object:

| Field           | Type        | Description                                |
|-----------------|-------------|--------------------------------------------|
| `ws_id`         | string      | Unique workstream identifier               |
| `alias`         | string/null | User-assigned short name                   |
| `title`         | string/null | LLM-generated title                        |
| `created`       | string      | ISO timestamp of workstream creation       |
| `updated`       | string      | ISO timestamp of last message              |
| `message_count` | int         | Number of messages in the workstream       |

---

### `GET /v1/api/skills`

Returns a summary list of all available skills. This is a read-only
endpoint (requires `read` scope) that exposes skill names and categories
without revealing skill content. Useful for populating skill selectors
in UIs or discovering available skills before creating a workstream.

**Response:**

```json
{
  "skills": [
    {"name": "safety-guidelines", "category": "safety", "is_default": true, "origin": "manual"},
    {"name": "mcp__server__code", "category": "", "is_default": false, "origin": "mcp"}
  ]
}
```

Each skill summary:

| Field        | Type   | Description                                          |
|--------------|--------|------------------------------------------------------|
| `name`       | string | Skill name (used in `skill` field on workstream creation) |
| `category`   | string | Skill category                                       |
| `is_default` | bool   | Whether skill is auto-applied to all sessions        |
| `origin`     | string | Skill origin: `manual` or `mcp`                      |

> **Note:** For full skill management (create, update, delete, view content),
> use the admin endpoints at `GET /v1/api/admin/skills` (requires `admin.skills` permission).

### `GET /v1/api/personas`

Returns the enabled personas offered by the workstream-creation pickers.
Authenticated for any logged-in user and deliberately gated by **no**
`persona.*` permission — selecting a persona at creation is a user
action, while the `persona.*` perms gate authoring. Display fields only;
the levers (base prompt, tool set, MCP/memory toggles) stay server-side.

**Response:**

```json
{
  "personas": [
    {"name": "engineer", "display_name": "Engineer", "description": "The stock interactive workstream: full tools, MCP, and memory.", "applies_to_kinds": ["interactive"], "is_default": true},
    {"name": "researcher", "display_name": "Researcher", "description": "Answers questions with evidence — reads and cites, loads tools to verify when needed.", "applies_to_kinds": ["interactive"], "is_default": false}
  ],
  "total": 2
}
```

Each persona summary:

| Field              | Type   | Description                                                      |
|--------------------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `name`             | string | Persona slug (used in the `persona` field on workstream creation) |
| `display_name`     | string | Human-readable label for pickers                                 |
| `description`      | string | Short description of the persona's intent                        |
| `applies_to_kinds` | array  | Workstream kinds the persona applies to (`interactive` / `coordinator`) |
| `is_default`       | bool   | Whether this is the default persona for its kind                 |

> **Note:** For full persona management (create, edit, archive), use the
> admin endpoints at `/v1/api/admin/personas` (requires the
> `persona.{create,read,write}` permissions).

### `POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/send`

Sends a user message to a workstream. Spawns a daemon worker thread that calls
`session.send()` and streams results back via the SSE channel.

**Path parameters:**

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description          |
|-----------|--------|----------|----------------------|
| `ws_id`   | string | yes      | Target workstream ID |

**Request body:**

```json
{"message": "Explain how the server works"}
```

| Field     | Type   | Required | Description             |
|-----------|--------|----------|-------------------------|
| `message` | string | yes      | The user's message text |

**Response (success):**

```json
{"status": "ok"}
```

**Response (busy):** Returned if the workstream's worker thread is still alive
from a previous request. Also pushes a `busy_error` event to the SSE stream.

```json
{"status": "busy"}
```

**Error responses:**

| Status | Body                               | Condition              |
|--------|------------------------------------|------------------------|
| 400    | `{"error": "Empty message"}`       | Message is empty       |
| 404    | `{"error": "Unknown workstream"}`  | `ws_id` not found      |

---

### `POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/approve`

Responds to a tool approval request. The SSE stream must have previously sent
an `approve_request` event for the given workstream.

**Path parameters:**

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description          |
|-----------|--------|----------|----------------------|
| `ws_id`   | string | yes      | Target workstream ID |

**Request body:**

```json
{"approved": true, "feedback": null, "always": false}
```

| Field      | Type        | Required | Description                                      |
|------------|-------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------|
| `approved` | bool        | yes      | `true` to approve, `false` to deny               |
| `feedback` | string/null | no       | Optional feedback text (sent as denial reason)    |
| `always`   | bool        | no       | If `true` and `approved`, enables auto-approve    |

When `always` is `true` and `approved` is `true`, the workstream's WebUI
instance sets `auto_approve = True`, causing all subsequent tool calls to be
automatically approved without prompting.

**Response:**

```json
{"status": "ok"}
```

**Error:** `404` with `{"error": "Unknown workstream"}` if `ws_id` is invalid.

---

### `POST /v1/api/command`

Executes a slash command in the given workstream.

**Request body:**

```json
{"command": "/clear", "ws_id": "abc123"}
```

| Field     | Type   | Required | Description                        |
|-----------|--------|----------|------------------------------------|
| `command` | string | yes      | The slash command (e.g. `/clear`)  |
| `ws_id`   | string | yes      | Target workstream ID               |

If the command is `/clear` or `/new`, the server pushes a `clear_ui` SSE event
to instruct the client to reset its message display. If the command is
`/resume`, the server pushes `clear_ui` followed by a `history` event
containing the resumed session's messages.

**Response:**

```json
{"status": "ok"}
```

**Error responses:**

| Status | Body                               | Condition            |
|--------|------------------------------------|----------------------|
| 400    | `{"error": "Empty command"}`       | Command is empty     |
| 404    | `{"error": "Unknown workstream"}`  | `ws_id` not found    |

---

### `POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/cancel`

Cancels the active generation in a workstream. Sets a cooperative cancellation
flag that is checked at multiple points in the generation loop (per streaming
chunk, before tool execution, inside bash commands). Also closes the underlying
HTTP stream to the LLM provider, unblocking any pending read immediately.
The session transitions to `idle` state and preserves any partial content
already streamed.

If the workstream is waiting for tool approval or plan review, the pending
prompt is automatically denied/rejected to unblock the worker thread.

Calling this endpoint when the workstream is already idle is a harmless no-op.

**Force cancel:** When `force` is `true`, the server abandons the stuck worker
thread immediately and transitions the workstream to `idle`. The abandoned
thread continues to wind down in the background (killing any running
subprocesses and exiting at the next cancellation checkpoint). During this
wind-down it may emit a final `stream_end` event which the server suppresses
for the orphaned thread. Use force cancel when cooperative cancel has not
resolved within a few seconds — the web UI offers this as a "Force Stop"
button automatically.

**Path parameters:**

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description          |
|-----------|--------|----------|----------------------|
| `ws_id`   | string | yes      | Target workstream ID |

**Request body:**

```json
{"force": false}
```

| Field  | Type   | Required | Description          |
|--------|--------|----------|----------------------|
| `force`| bool   | no       | Abandon stuck worker immediately (default: `false`) |

**Response:**

```json
{"status": "ok"}
```

**Error responses:**

| Status | Body                               | Condition              |
|--------|------------------------------------|------------------------|
| 400    | `{"error": "No session"}`          | Session not initialized|
| 404    | `{"error": "Unknown workstream"}`  | `ws_id` not found      |

---

### `POST /v1/api/workstreams/new`

Creates a new workstream. The server supports up to 10 concurrent workstreams.

The endpoint accepts **either** `application/json` (legacy shape) **or**
`multipart/form-data` when you want to upload attachments at creation
time.  Multipart requests carry one `meta` field containing the JSON body
shown below plus zero-or-more `file` parts; each file is validated and
reserved onto the new workstream's first turn before the dispatch worker
runs, so queued multimodal turns cannot lose files to racing sends.  If
validation fails the fresh workstream is rolled back so no orphan rows
leak.

**Request body:**

```json
{"name": "my-ws", "model": "openai"}
```

All fields are optional. The body can be empty or an empty JSON object.

| Field            | Type   | Default | Description                                                    |
|------------------|--------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
| `name`           | string | auto    | Workstream display name                                        |
| `model`          | string | default | Model alias from the registry (`[models.*]`)                   |
| `auto_approve`   | bool   | false   | Auto-approve all tool calls for this workstream                |
| `resume_ws`      | string | ""      | Workstream ID to resume atomically during creation (empty = fresh)|
| `skill`          | string | ""      | Skill name. Applies content (system prompt), model, temperature, reasoning effort, max tokens, auto-approve policy, token budget, and other session config from the skill. Returns 400 if not found or disabled. Ignored when `resume_ws` is set (resumed sessions restore their own skill). |
| `persona`        | string | ""      | Persona slug. Resolved and snapshotted into the workstream at creation; empty selects the kind's default. |
| `judge_model`    | string | ""      | Optional model alias for the judge (overrides default judge model for this workstream) |

> **Skill behavior:** When `skill` is specified, the skill's content is injected as a system message and its session config fields (model, temperature, auto-approve, token budget, etc.) override system defaults for the new workstream.

**Response (success):**

```json
{"ws_id": "ghi789", "name": "ws-3", "resumed": false, "message_count": 0}
```

| Field           | Type   | Description                                         |
|-----------------|--------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| `ws_id`         | string | Unique ID of the new workstream                     |
| `name`          | string | Auto-generated workstream name                      |
| `resumed`       | bool   | Whether a previous session was successfully resumed |
| `message_count` | int    | Number of messages in the resumed session (0 if fresh) |
| `initial_message_status` | string | Present ONLY when the workstream was created but its `initial_message` could not be delivered: `"queue_full"` (a raced live worker's interjection queue was at capacity — resend via `/send`; any uploads stay staged) or `"refused_closed"` (the workstream was closed mid-create). Absent whenever the message was dispatched. |

**Error (limit reached):**

```json
{"error": "Maximum of 10 workstreams reached"}
```

Status code: `400`

---

### `POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/close`

Closes and removes a workstream. The last remaining workstream cannot be
closed.

**Path parameters:**

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description            |
|-----------|--------|----------|------------------------|
| `ws_id`   | string | yes      | Workstream ID to close |

**Request body:**

The body must be valid JSON. If you are not supplying any optional
fields, send `{}` — an empty / non-JSON body is rejected with a
`400`.

| Field    | Type   | Required | Description                                              |
|----------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `reason` | string | no       | Optional close reason persisted to `workstream_config`.  |

The `reason` is capped at **512 UTF-8 bytes** (multibyte-safe — the
cap holds for CJK and emoji payloads), and the output guard's
credential-redaction pass strips secrets before the value is
persisted. A non-string `reason` is silently coerced to empty and
the close proceeds without writing the field.

**Response (success):**

```json
{"status": "ok"}
```

**Error (last workstream):**

```json
{"error": "Cannot close last workstream"}
```

Status code: `400`

---

### `POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/attachments`

Upload an image or text document and attach it to the caller's next user
turn on this workstream.

- Images (png/jpeg/gif/webp) are capped at **4 MiB** and validated via
  magic-byte sniff on upload.
- Text documents (any `text/*` MIME, allow-listed application MIMEs, or
  known text extensions) are capped at **512 KiB** and must be UTF-8.
- Per-(workstream, user) pending cap is **10** attachments.

The attachment moves through three states: `pending → reserved →
consumed`.  Reservation tokens are threaded through
`POST /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/send` so a queued multimodal turn cannot lose its file to
an overlapping send.

Ownership failures are masked as `404` so non-owners cannot enumerate
workstream existence.

**Content-Type:** `multipart/form-data` with a single `file` field.

**Response (success):** `200`

```json
{
  "attachment_id": "att_abc123",
  "kind": "image",
  "mime_type": "image/png",
  "size_bytes": 73240,
  "filename": "screenshot.png",
  "state": "pending"
}
```

**Errors:**

| Code | Meaning                                                 |
|------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| 400  | Missing/invalid form, unsupported MIME, not UTF-8, etc. |
| 403  | Auth/scope failure                                      |
| 404  | Workstream not found / not owned by caller              |
| 409  | Pending-cap reached                                     |
| 413  | Payload exceeds size cap                                |

| Maximum delay      | 30 seconds                                |
| Reset              | Delay resets to 1 second on first success |

On reconnect, the server replays the full conversation history via the
`history` event, so the client can rebuild its UI state without data loss. The
same reconnection strategy applies to both the per-workstream SSE stream
(`/v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/events`) and the global state stream (`/v1/api/events/global`).

## Observability

### `GET /health`

Returns server health status. Always returns `200 OK` while the server process
is running. `"status": "degraded"` indicates the server is up but the LLM
backend is unreachable. Suitable for load-balancer health checks and Kubernetes
liveness probes.

**Response:** `application/json`

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "version": "0.4.0",
  "node_id": "worker-01_a3f2",
  "uptime_seconds": 3614.72,
  "model": "llama-3.1-70b-instruct",
  "workstreams": {
    "total": 2,
    "idle": 1,
    "thinking": 1,
    "running": 0,
    "attention": 0,
    "error": 0
  },
  "backend": {
    "status": "up",
    "circuit_state": "closed"
  }

| `workstreams.running` | integer | Workstreams executing tools |
| `workstreams.attention` | integer | Workstreams blocked on approval or plan review |
| `workstreams.error` | integer | Workstreams in error state |
| `backend.status` | string | `"up"` or `"down"` — LLM backend reachability |
| `backend.circuit_state` | string | `"closed"`, `"open"`, or `"half_open"` |

### `GET /metrics`

Returns operational metrics in **Prometheus text exposition format v0.0.4**.
Compatible with Prometheus `scrape_configs`, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana Agent,
and any other OpenMetrics-compatible collector.

**Response:** `text/plain; version=0.0.4; charset=utf-8`

#### Prometheus scrape config example

```yaml
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: turnstone
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:8080"]
    metrics_path: /metrics
```

## Console Routing Proxy Endpoints

These endpoints are served by the console (`turnstone-console`) and proxy
requests to the correct server node via rendezvous (HRW) hashing over the
live service registry. In multi-node deployments, clients (SDK, channel
gateway) talk to the console instead of individual server nodes.

### `POST /v1/api/route/workstreams/new`

Create a workstream via rendezvous routing. The console generates the `ws_id`,
routes to the rendezvous-selected node, and includes `node_url` in the
response for direct SSE connections.

### `POST /v1/api/route/send`

Proxy a message to the workstream's assigned server node.

### `POST /v1/api/route/approve`

Proxy an approval response to the workstream's assigned server node.

### `POST /v1/api/route/cancel`

Cancel generation on a workstream.

### `POST /v1/api/route/command`

Send a slash command to a workstream.

### `POST /v1/api/route/plan`

Send plan review feedback to a workstream.

### `POST /v1/api/route/workstreams/close`

Close a workstream.

### `GET /v1/api/route?ws_id=X`

Look up which server node owns a workstream. Returns `{"node_url": "...", "node_id": "..."}`.
Used by channel adapters to open direct SSE connections to the correct server node.

### `GET /metrics` (Console)

Prometheus metrics for the console routing layer. Includes:
`turnstone_router_requests_total`, `turnstone_router_request_duration_seconds`,
`turnstone_router_membership_size`, `turnstone_router_refresh_total`.
