+- **Public unauthenticated endpoints** — SEO/OG images, share links, and other
+  URLs opened directly by a browser or crawler
+- **Binary or non-JSON responses** — media, exports, generated assets
+
+Everything else is an action: CRUD, settings, search, list/detail reads, auth
+state, and anything the UI fetches as JSON. If a route needs new middleware to
+scope it to the current user, that is a signal it should be an action — actions
+already run inside request context with access checks.
+
+Existing first-party templates still contain a shrinking, explicitly
+grandfathered set of older `/api/*` CRUD routes for app data. The repository's

 Agent-native apps are defined by parity: everything the UI can do, the agent can do, and vice versa. A feature that only has UI is invisible to the agent. A feature that only has scripts is invisible to the user. A feature without app-state sync means the agent is blind to what the user is doing.
