+
+## Server Setup
+
+Two patterns for building Terreno APIs:
+
+### TerrenoApp (Recommended)
+
+Fluent API with a register pattern:
+
+``````typescript
+import {TerrenoApp, modelRouter} from "@terreno/api";
+import {User, Todo} from "./models";
+
+const todoRouter = modelRouter("/todos", Todo, {
+  permissions: {
+    list: [Permissions.IsAuthenticated],
+    create: [Permissions.IsAuthenticated],
+    read: [Permissions.IsOwner],
+    update: [Permissions.IsOwner],
+    delete: [Permissions.IsOwner],
+  },
+  queryFilter: OwnerQueryFilter,
+});
+
+const app = new TerrenoApp({userModel: User})
+  .register(todoRouter)
+  .register(userRouter)
+  .start();
+``````
+
+**Methods:**
+- `register(registration)` — Register `ModelRouterRegistration` or `TerrenoPlugin`
+- `addMiddleware(fn)` — Add Express middleware
+- `build()` — Build Express app without listening
+- `start()` — Build and start server
+
+### setupServer (Legacy)
+
+Callback-based pattern:
+
+``````typescript
+import {setupServer, modelRouter} from "@terreno/api";
+
+setupServer({
+  userModel: User,
+  addRoutes: (router) => {
+    router.use("/todos", modelRouter(Todo, options));
+  },
+});
+``````
+
+Both patterns create the same middleware stack (CORS, auth, logging, OpenAPI).
+
+## Authentication
+
+@terreno/api includes built-in authentication with multiple strategies:
+
+### Email/Password Authentication
+
+JWT-based authentication using `passport-local-mongoose`:
+
+``````typescript
+import {setupServer} from "@terreno/api";
+
+setupServer({
+  userModel: User,
+  authOptions: {
+    generateJWTPayload: (user) => ({
+      sub: user._id,
+      admin: user.admin,
+    }),
+  },
+});
+``````
+
+**Endpoints:**
+- `POST /auth/signup` — Create user account
+- `POST /auth/login` — Authenticate with email/password
+- `POST /auth/refresh_token` — Refresh access token
+- `GET /auth/me` — Get current user profile
+- `PATCH /auth/me` — Update current user profile
+
+**Environment variables:**
+- `TOKEN_SECRET` — JWT signing secret (required)
+- `TOKEN_ISSUER` — JWT issuer claim (required)
+- `REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET` — Refresh token secret (required)
+- `SESSION_SECRET` — Express session secret (required)
+- `TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN` — Token expiration (default: `15m`)
+- `REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN` — Refresh token expiration (default: `30d`)
+- `SIGNUP_DISABLED` — Set to `"true"` to disable user signup endpoint
+
+### GitHub OAuth Authentication
+
+Add GitHub OAuth login to your API:
+
+``````typescript
+import {githubUserPlugin, setupServer} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Add GitHub fields to user schema
+userSchema.plugin(githubUserPlugin);
+
+setupServer({
+  userModel: User,
+  githubAuth: {
+    clientId: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID!,
+    clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET!,
+    callbackURL: process.env.GITHUB_CALLBACK_URL!,
+    scope: ["user:email"],
+    allowAccountLinking: true,
+  },
+});
+``````
+
+**Endpoints (when configured):**
+- `GET /auth/github` — Initiate OAuth flow
+- `GET /auth/github/callback` — OAuth callback handler
+- `GET /auth/github/link` — Link GitHub to authenticated user (requires JWT)
+- `DELETE /auth/github/unlink` — Unlink GitHub from account (requires JWT)
+
+**Learn more:** [Add GitHub OAuth authentication](../how-to/add-github-oauth.md)
+
+### Better Auth Authentication
+
+Add Better Auth as an alternative authentication system with built-in social OAuth:
+
+``````typescript
+import {BetterAuthApp, TerrenoApp} from "@terreno/api";
+
+const betterAuthConfig = {
+  enabled: true,
+  secret: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_SECRET,
+  baseURL: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_URL,
+  trustedOrigins: ["yourapp://", "exp://"],
+  googleOAuth: {
+    clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID!,
+    clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET!,
+  },
+  githubOAuth: {
+    clientId: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID!,
+    clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET!,
+  },
+};
+
+const app = new TerrenoApp({userModel: User});
+app.register(new BetterAuthApp({config: betterAuthConfig, userModel: User}));
+const server = app.start();
+``````
+
+**Endpoints (when enabled):**
+- `POST /api/auth/signup/email` — Email/password signup
+- `POST /api/auth/signin/email` — Email/password signin
+- `GET /api/auth/signin/{provider}` — Initiate OAuth (google, github, apple)
+- `GET /api/auth/callback/{provider}` — OAuth callback
+- `POST /api/auth/signout` — Sign out
+- `GET /api/auth/session` — Get session
+
+**Environment variables:**
+- `AUTH_PROVIDER` — Set to `"better-auth"` to enable (default: `"jwt"`)
+- `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` — Session encryption secret (required)
+- `BETTER_AUTH_URL` — Base URL for auth server (required)
+- `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` / `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` — Google OAuth (optional)
+- `GITHUB_CLIENT_ID` / `GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET` — GitHub OAuth (optional)
+- `APPLE_CLIENT_ID` / `APPLE_CLIENT_SECRET` — Apple Sign In (optional)
+
+**Learn more:** [Configure Better Auth](../how-to/configure-better-auth.md)
+
+## Model Schema Conventions
+
+### Required field descriptions
+
+**Every field in a Mongoose schema must include a `description` property.** Descriptions are extracted by `mongoose-to-swagger` and included in the generated OpenAPI specification, making your API documentation and auto-generated SDK significantly more useful.
+
+``````typescript
+const schema = new mongoose.Schema<Document, Model>({
+  title: {
+    description: "The title of the item",
+    type: String,
+    required: true,
+  },
+  status: {
+    description: "Current processing status",
+    type: String,
+    enum: ["pending", "active", "completed"],
+    default: "pending",
+  },
+  ownerId: {
+    description: "The user who owns this item",
+    type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
+    ref: "User",
+    required: true,
+  },
+});
+``````
+
+### Writing good descriptions
+
+- Keep them concise (one sentence is usually enough)
+- Explain the field's purpose, not its type
+- Use active voice: "The user who owns..." not "Owner of..."
+- Include important constraints: "Email address (must be unique)"
+
+### Benefits
+
+Field descriptions appear in:
+- OpenAPI spec at `/openapi.json`
+- Generated SDK type definitions
+- API documentation (Swagger UI if enabled)
+- IDE autocomplete hints when using the SDK
+
+## Mongoose Plugins
+
+@terreno/api provides several Mongoose plugins to extend model functionality with common patterns.
+
+### findExactlyOne & findOneOrNone
+
+**Critical:** Never use `Model.findOne` directly. Use these plugins instead to prevent ambiguous queries.
+
+``````typescript
+import {findExactlyOne, findOneOrNone} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// In your schema
+todoSchema.plugin(findExactlyOne);
+todoSchema.plugin(findOneOrNone);
+
+// Usage
+const todo = await Todo.findExactlyOne({_id: id}); // Throws if 0 or multiple found
+const maybeUser = await User.findOneOrNone({email}); // Returns null if none, throws if multiple
+``````
+
+**Why these matter:**
+- `findOne()` returns a **random document** if multiple match (non-deterministic)
+- `findExactlyOne()` throws `APIError` (404) if none found, (500) if multiple found
+- `findOneOrNone()` returns `null` if none found, throws (500) if multiple found
+
+### upsertPlugin
+
+Create or update a document atomically.
+
+``````typescript
+import {upsertPlugin, type HasUpsert} from "@terreno/api";
+
+todoSchema.plugin(upsertPlugin);
+
+// TypeScript: Extend your model interface
+interface TodoModel extends DefaultModel<TodoDocument>, HasUpsert<TodoDocument> {}
+
+// Usage
+const todo = await Todo.upsert(
+  {userId: user._id, taskId: task.id}, // Conditions
+  {status: "completed", completedAt: new Date()} // Update
+);
+// Creates new if none exists, updates if found, throws if multiple match
+``````
+
+### DateOnly Schema Type
+
+Custom Mongoose type for date-only fields (no time component).
+
+``````typescript
+import {Schema} from "mongoose";
+import {DateOnly} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// IMPORTANT: Register early in your app entry point (before models are loaded)
+(Schema.Types as any).DateOnly = DateOnly;
+
+// Then use in schemas
+const eventSchema = new Schema({
+  eventDate: {
+    type: Schema.Types.DateOnly,
+    description: "Date of the event (no time component)",
+  },
+});
+
+// Automatically strips time when setting or fetching
+event.eventDate = new Date("2026-02-15T14:30:00Z");
+console.log(event.eventDate); // 2026-02-15T00:00:00.000Z
+``````
+
+**Features:**
+- Automatically converts to UTC midnight
+- Supports comparison operators (`$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`)
+- Throws `CastError` for invalid dates
+
+### createdUpdatedPlugin
+
+Adds `created` and `updated` timestamp fields with automatic management.
+
+``````typescript
+import {createdUpdatedPlugin} from "@terreno/api";
+
+schema.plugin(createdUpdatedPlugin);
+
+// Adds two fields:
+// - created: Date (set on first save)
+// - updated: Date (set on every save/update)
+
+// Disable for specific saves
+doc.disableCreatedUpdatedPlugin = true;
+await doc.save();
+``````
+
+### isDeletedPlugin
+
+Soft delete support with automatic query filtering.
+
+``````typescript
+import {isDeletedPlugin, type IsDeleted} from "@terreno/api";
+
+schema.plugin(isDeletedPlugin, false); // Default: not deleted
+
+// Adds:
+// - deleted: boolean (default: false)
+// - Automatic filtering in find() and findOne() queries
+
+// Normal queries exclude deleted docs
+const todos = await Todo.find({}); // Only non-deleted
+
+// Explicitly query deleted docs
+const deleted = await Todo.find({deleted: true});
+
+// Soft delete
+todo.deleted = true;
+await todo.save();
+``````
+
+### isDisabledPlugin
+
+Disable user accounts (returns 401 for disabled users).
+
+``````typescript
+import {isDisabledPlugin} from "@terreno/api";
+
+userSchema.plugin(isDisabledPlugin, false);
+
+// Adds disabled: boolean field
+user.disabled = true;
+await user.save();
+// User will receive 401 on authentication attempts
+``````
+
+### baseUserPlugin
+
+Base fields for user models.
+
+``````typescript
+import {baseUserPlugin, type BaseUser} from "@terreno/api";
+
+userSchema.plugin(baseUserPlugin);
+
+// Adds:
+// - email: string (indexed)
+// - admin: boolean (default: false)
+``````
+
+### firebaseJWTPlugin
+
+Firebase authentication integration.
+
+``````typescript
+import {firebaseJWTPlugin} from "@terreno/api";
+
+userSchema.plugin(firebaseJWTPlugin);
+
+// Adds:
+// - firebaseId: string (indexed)
+``````
+
+### Default Plugin Bundle
+
+Many schemas use these together:
+
+``````typescript
+import {createdUpdatedPlugin, isDeletedPlugin, findExactlyOne, findOneOrNone} from "@terreno/api";
+
+export const addDefaultPlugins = (schema) => {
+  schema.plugin(createdUpdatedPlugin);
+  schema.plugin(isDeletedPlugin);
+  schema.plugin(findExactlyOne);
+  schema.plugin(findOneOrNone);
+};
+
+// Apply to all schemas
+todoSchema.plugin(addDefaultPlugins);
+``````
+
+## Request Validation
+
+@terreno/api provides runtime validation of incoming requests against OpenAPI schemas using [AJV](https://ajv.js.org/). Validation is opt-in and can be enabled globally or per-route.
+
+### Enabling Validation
+
+Call `configureOpenApiValidator()` at server startup to enable validation:
+
+``````typescript
+import {configureOpenApiValidator, setupServer} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Enable validation before setting up the server
+configureOpenApiValidator({
+  removeAdditional: true,
+  coerceTypes: true,
+  logValidationErrors: true,
+  onAdditionalPropertiesRemoved: (props, req) => {
+    logger.warn(`Stripped properties: ${props.join(", ")} on ${req.method} ${req.path}`);
+  },
+});
+
+setupServer({
+  userModel: User,
+  addRoutes: (router) => {
+    // Routes will automatically validate when enabled
+  },
+});
+``````
+
+**Configuration options:**
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `validateRequests` | boolean | `true` | Enable request body validation |
+| `validateResponses` | boolean | `false` | Enable response validation (performance cost) |
+| `coerceTypes` | boolean | `true` | Convert types (e.g., `"123"` → `123`) |
+| `removeAdditional` | boolean | `true` | Strip properties not in schema |
+| `logValidationErrors` | boolean | `true` | Log validation failures |
+| `onValidationError` | function | throws APIError | Custom error handler |
+| `onAdditionalPropertiesRemoved` | function | undefined | Callback when props are stripped |
+
+### Using with modelRouter
+
+When validation is enabled globally, modelRouter automatically validates create and update requests:
+
+``````typescript
+import {modelRouter, Permissions} from "@terreno/api";
+
+router.use("/todos", modelRouter(Todo, {
+  permissions: {
+    create: [Permissions.IsAuthenticated],
+    update: [Permissions.IsOwner],
+  },
+  // Validation happens automatically based on Mongoose schema
+}));
+``````
+
+### Manual Validation
+
+For custom routes, use validation middleware directly:
+
+``````typescript
+import {validateRequestBody, validateQueryParams, createOpenApiBuilder} from "@terreno/api";
+
+router.post("/search", [
+  createOpenApiBuilder()
+    .withRequestBody({
+      query: {type: "string", required: true},
+      filters: {type: "object"},
+    })
+    .build(),
+  validateRequestBody({
+    query: {type: "string", required: true},
+    filters: {type: "object"},
+  }),
+  asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
+    // req.body is validated and coerced
+    const {query, filters} = req.body;
+    return res.json({results: []});
+  }),
+]);
+``````
+
+### Validating Query Parameters
+
+``````typescript
+import {validateQueryParams} from "@terreno/api";
+
+router.get("/items", [
+  validateQueryParams({
+    limit: {type: "number"},
+    status: {type: "string", enum: ["active", "inactive"]},
+  }),
+  asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
+    // req.query is validated and type-coerced
+    const {limit, status} = req.query;
+    return res.json({items: []});
+  }),
+]);
+``````
+
+### Combined Validation
+
+Validate both body and query in a single middleware:
+
+``````typescript
+import {createValidator} from "@terreno/api";
+
+router.post("/search", [
+  createValidator({
+    body: {query: {type: "string", required: true}},
+    query: {limit: {type: "number"}, page: {type: "number"}},
+  }),
+  asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
+    // Both req.body and req.query are validated
+    return res.json({results: []});
+  }),
+]);
+``````
+
+### Model-based Validation
+
+Generate validators directly from Mongoose models:
+
+``````typescript
+import {validateModelRequestBody, getSchemaFromModel} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Use model schema for validation
+router.post("/todos", [
+  authenticateMiddleware(),
+  validateModelRequestBody(Todo),
+  asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
+    // req.body validated against Todo schema
+    const todo = await Todo.create(req.body);
+    return res.json({data: todo});
+  }),
+]);
+``````
+
+### Validation Behavior
+
+**When `removeAdditional: true`:**
+- Extra properties are silently removed from request body
+- `onAdditionalPropertiesRemoved` callback fires if configured
+- Useful for preventing client-side injection of unexpected fields
+
+**When `coerceTypes: true`:**
+- Query strings are converted to correct types (`"10"` → `10`)
+- Request body values are coerced when possible
+- Reduces type mismatch errors from URL parameters
+
+**Error response format:**
+``````json
+{
+  "errors": [{
+    "status": "400",
+    "title": "Request validation failed",
+    "detail": "/body/email: must be a valid email",
+    "source": {"pointer": "/body"},
+    "meta": {
+      "validationErrors": "[{\"path\":\"/email\",\"message\":\"must be a valid email\"}]"
+    }
+  }]
+}
+``````
+
+**Performance considerations:**
+- Validators are compiled once and cached
+- Minimal overhead after first request (~1-2ms for typical schemas)
+- Response validation is disabled by default due to performance cost
+- Use in development/staging to catch API contract violations
+
+**Learn more:** See `api/src/openApiValidator.ts` for advanced usage and `api/src/api.ts` for modelRouter integration.
+
+## Middleware
+
+### openApiEtagMiddleware
+
+Adds ETag support to the `/openapi.json` endpoint for efficient caching.
+
+``````typescript
+import {openApiEtagMiddleware} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Add before OpenAPI middleware in setupServer
+app.use(openApiEtagMiddleware);
+``````
+
+**Features:**
+- Generates SHA-256 ETag from OpenAPI spec content
+- Returns `304 Not Modified` when spec hasn't changed
+- Reduces bandwidth for clients polling OpenAPI spec
+- Automatically included in `setupServer()`
+
+**Benefits:**
+- SDK code generation tools can skip regeneration if spec unchanged
+- Faster frontend builds in CI/CD pipelines
+- Reduced server load for large OpenAPI specs
+
+### sentryAppVersionMiddleware
+
+Captures app version from request headers and adds to Sentry scope for error filtering.
+
+``````typescript
+import {sentryAppVersionMiddleware} from "@terreno/api";
+
+app.use(sentryAppVersionMiddleware);
+``````
+
+**Expected header:** `App-Version: 1.2.3`
+
+**Sentry tag:** `app_version: 1.2.3`
+
+**Use case:** Filter Sentry errors by app version to identify version-specific bugs.
+
+## Logging & Tracing
+
+@terreno/api ships a Winston-based logger plus two helpers — **scoped loggers** and
+**feature-flagged loggers** — and automatic **request correlation** so a single request or
+background job can be followed across many log lines, both in plain-text consoles and in structured
+transports (Google Cloud Logging, Sentry).
+
+> Never use `console.log` for permanent server logs — use `logger` or a scoped logger. Request
+> logging already redacts `password` on bodies; never log secrets, full auth tokens, or raw
+> passwords.
+
+### Quick reference
+
+| Export | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `logger` | Global logger: `debug` / `info` / `warn` / `error` / `catch`. |
+| `createScopedLogger(options)` | Logger that prepends a `prefix` and/or attaches `labels` to every line. |
+| `createFeatureFlaggedLogger(options)` | Wraps a logger behind an `isEnabled()` gate (feature flags, env, etc.). |
+| `setupLogging(options)` | Configures transports and levels (console/file + custom transports). |
+| `formatLogContextSuffix(fields)` | Builds the trailing ` key=value` suffix (for custom formatters/tests). |
+| `runWithRequestContext(ctx, cb)` | Opens a correlation scope for jobs/scripts (HTTP gets one automatically). |
+| `getCurrentLogContext()` | Reads the active correlation fields as a plain object. |
+| `REQUEST_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_NAMES` | Header names for propagating correlation to other services. |
+
+### The global logger
+
+``````typescript
+import {logger} from "@terreno/api";
+
+logger.info("Server started", {port: 4000});
+logger.warn("Slow query", {ms: 500});
+logger.error("Failed to process", {error});
+logger.debug("Request details", {body: req.body});
+
+// `.catch` logs and captures the exception — handy as a promise handler:
+await chargeCard(id).catch(logger.catch);
+``````
+
+Each method writes through Winston (console/file transports) and, when `USE_SENTRY_LOGGING=true`,
+mirrors the line to Sentry with the active request context attached.
+
+### Scoped loggers
+
+Use **`createScopedLogger`** when a handler, job, or service runs multiple steps and you want a
+consistent prefix and/or extra dimensions on every line. Create the logger once and reuse the same
+instance for the whole operation so every line shares identifiers.
+
+``````typescript
+import {createScopedLogger} from "@terreno/api";
+
+const log = createScopedLogger({
+  prefix: "[InvoicePay]",
+  labels: {invoiceId: invoice._id.toString(), attempt: String(attemptNumber)},
+});
+
+log.info("Starting capture");
+log.warn("Stripe rate limited, backing off");
+await capture(invoice).catch(log.catch);
+``````
+
+This produces lines like:
+
+``````text
+info: [InvoicePay] Starting capture invoiceId=665f… attempt=1 requestId=…
+``````
+
+- **`prefix`** — prepended to the human-readable message (easy grep / Log Explorer text search) and
+  also stored as the Winston metadata field **`terrenoLogPrefix`** so structured transports get it
+  as its own field, not only embedded in `message`.
+- **`labels`** — normalized to strings and stored as the Winston metadata field **`terrenoLabels`**.
+  They appear in the same ` key=value` suffix as request fields and are emitted as discrete fields
+  for structured transports (for example `@google-cloud/logging-winston`).
+
+**Reserved keys:** do not use label keys that collide with framework metadata — `requestId`,
+`jobId`, `sessionId`, `userId`, `traceId`, `spanId`, `terrenoLogPrefix`, `terrenoRequestLog`,
+`terrenoLabels`. Prefer domain names: `invoiceId`, `syncBatchId`, `webhookDeliveryId`.
+
+If both `prefix` and `labels` are empty, `createScopedLogger({})` returns the global `logger` (the
+same object).
+
+### Feature-flagged (toggle) logging
+
+Use **`createFeatureFlaggedLogger`** to keep verbose diagnostics in the code but silent until a
+flag turns them on — no redeploy required. All `debug` / `info` / `warn` / `error` calls are
+dropped while `isEnabled()` returns false.
+
+`isEnabled` is evaluated on **every** call, so flags can flip without a process restart. Wire it to
+any source: an environment variable, a cached/remote flag map, or a call into a feature-flag service
+from your app.
+
+``````typescript
+import {createFeatureFlaggedLogger, createScopedLogger} from "@terreno/api";
+
+const jobLog = createFeatureFlaggedLogger({
+  isEnabled: () => process.env.JOB_TRACE_LOGS === "true",
+  target: createScopedLogger({prefix: "[Job]", labels: {jobName: "nightly-sync"}}),
+});
+
+jobLog.info("step 1"); // silent unless JOB_TRACE_LOGS=true
+``````
+
+Driving it from a feature-flag service in app code:
+
+``````typescript
+const debugLog = createFeatureFlaggedLogger({
+  isEnabled: () => flags.isEnabled("debug.billing"),
+  target: createScopedLogger({prefix: "[Billing]"}),
+  gateCatch: true, // also silence `catch` while the flag is off
+});
+``````
+
+Options:
+
+| Option | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `isEnabled` | — (required) | `() => boolean` predicate; checked on every log call. |
+| `target` | global `logger` | The `ScopedLogger` (or `logger`) that receives forwarded lines. |
+| `gateCatch` | `false` | When `false`, `catch` still records errors while disabled (so `promise.catch(log.catch)` keeps working). Set `true` to silence `catch` too. |
+
+> `@terreno/api` deliberately does **not** import a feature-flags package — you pass the predicate.
+> This avoids a package cycle and lets the gate read from anywhere.
+
+### How loggers correlate
+
+While a request or job scope is active, **every** log line — from `logger`, a scoped logger, or a
+feature-flagged logger — is automatically enriched with correlation fields. You never thread them
+through function arguments. This is built on Node's `AsyncLocalStorage` (see `requestContext.ts`).
+
+What you get:
+
+- **HTTP requests**: `requestContextMiddleware` (mounted early by `TerrenoApp` / `setupServer`)
+  resolves a `requestId` from incoming headers (`x-request-id`, `x-correlation-id`,
+  `x-cloud-trace-context`, W3C `traceparent`, …) or generates one, echoes it back as the
+  `X-Request-ID` response header, and runs the request inside the scope. After auth runs, `userId`
+  and `sessionId` are added.
+- **Correlation fields**: `requestId`, `jobId`, `sessionId`, `userId`, `traceId`, `spanId` (when
+  available) are merged onto every line as top-level Winston metadata.
+- **Structured object**: every line also carries **`terrenoRequestLog`**: `{requestId, userId}`
+  (with `userId: null` for anonymous requests) so Log Explorer and BigQuery can always filter on a
+  single nested object. This object is structured metadata only — it is not repeated in the
+  plain-text suffix.
+- **Plain-text suffix**: console/file lines append a ` key=value` suffix built by
+  `formatLogContextSuffix`, including `logPrefix=…` and any scoped `labels`.
+
+Correlating background jobs, cron tasks, and scripts — wrap the work in `runWithRequestContext` so
+it gets the same treatment as an HTTP request:
+
+``````typescript
+import {createScopedLogger, runWithRequestContext} from "@terreno/api";
+
+await runWithRequestContext({jobId: "nightly-sync"}, async () => {
+  const log = createScopedLogger({prefix: "[NightlySync]"});
+  log.info("started"); // every line includes jobId + a generated requestId
+  await sync();
+});
+``````
+
+Propagating correlation to other services (so the same `requestId` / `traceId` follows the call):
+
+``````typescript
+import {getCurrentRequestContextAttributes} from "@terreno/api";
+
+await fetch(downstreamUrl, {headers: getCurrentRequestContextAttributes()});
+``````
+
+### Configuring transports
+
+`setupLogging` is called for you by `TerrenoApp` / `setupServer` (pass `loggingOptions`). Console
+and file transports are enabled by default; add custom transports (such as Google Cloud Logging) to
+forward the structured metadata above:
+
+``````typescript
+import {setupLogging} from "@terreno/api";
+import {LoggingWinston} from "@google-cloud/logging-winston";
+
+setupLogging({
+  level: "info",
+  disableFileLogging: isDeployed,
+  disableConsoleColors: isDeployed,
+  transports: isDeployed ? [new LoggingWinston()] : [],
+});
+``````
+
+When deployed, Winston metadata (`terrenoRequestLog`, `terrenoLabels`, `terrenoLogPrefix`, and the
+top-level request fields) flows into Google Cloud Logging `jsonPayload` for Log Explorer filtering.
+To correlate with Cloud Trace, ensure clients or load balancers send `x-cloud-trace-context` or W3C
+`traceparent`.
+
+### Message style
+
+- Start with what happened, then optional detail: `User export finished`, not `finished`.
+- Use **low-cardinality** prefixes in brackets (`[WebhookStripe]`, `[NightlyJob]`); put unique IDs
+  in `labels`, not in the prefix.
+- Keep the first ~80 characters useful for grouping; push highly variable data to the end or into
+  splat args.
+
+## Extensibility
+
+### TerrenoPlugin Interface
+
+The `TerrenoPlugin` interface provides a standard way to extend Terreno applications with reusable functionality.
+
+``````typescript
+import type {TerrenoPlugin} from "@terreno/api";
+import type express from "express";
+
+export interface TerrenoPlugin {
+  register(app: express.Application): void;
+}
+``````
+
+**Creating a plugin:**
+
+``````typescript
+import type {TerrenoPlugin} from "@terreno/api";
+import type express from "express";
+
+export class MyPlugin implements TerrenoPlugin {
+  private options: MyPluginOptions;
+
+  constructor(options?: MyPluginOptions) {
+    this.options = options ?? {};
+  }
+
+  register(app: express.Application): void {
+    // Add routes, middleware, or other setup
+    app.get("/my-plugin/status", (_req, res) => {
+      res.json({status: "ok"});
+    });
+  }
+}
+``````
+
+**Using a plugin:**
+
+``````typescript
+import {setupServer} from "@terreno/api";
+import {MyPlugin} from "./plugins/myPlugin";
+
+const myPlugin = new MyPlugin({enabled: true});
+
+setupServer({
+  userModel: User,
+  addRoutes: (router) => {
+    // Register the plugin
+    myPlugin.register(router as any);
+  },
+});
+``````
+
+**Example: Health Check Plugin**
+
+See `@terreno/api-health` for a complete plugin implementation:
+
+``````typescript
+import {HealthApp} from "@terreno/api-health";
+
+const healthCheck = new HealthApp({
+  enabled: true,
+  path: "/health",
+  check: async () => {
+    const dbConnected = await checkDatabaseConnection();
+    return {
+      healthy: dbConnected,
+      details: {database: dbConnected ? "connected" : "disconnected"},
+    };
+  },
+});
+
+setupServer({
+  userModel: User,
+  addRoutes: (router) => {
+    healthCheck.register(router as any);
+  },
+});
+``````
+
+**Plugin patterns:**
+- **Conditional registration:** Check options to enable/disable functionality
+- **Route registration:** Add custom endpoints (health checks, admin panels, webhooks)
+- **Middleware injection:** Add request/response interceptors
+- **Service initialization:** Connect to external services (monitoring, analytics)
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Reusable across multiple Terreno projects
+- Testable in isolation
+- Optional/configurable functionality
+- Clean separation of concerns
+
+## Webhooks & Notifications
+
+### Slack Notifications
+
+``````typescript
+import {sendSlackMessage} from "@terreno/api";
+
+await sendSlackMessage({
+  webhookUrl: process.env.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL,
+  message: "Deployment complete",
+  blocks: [
+    {
+      type: "section",
+      text: {type: "mrkdwn", text: "*Deployment Status*\nVersion 1.2.3 deployed successfully"},
+    },
+  ],
+});
+``````
+
+### Google Chat Notifications
+
+``````typescript
+import {sendGoogleChatMessage} from "@terreno/api";
+
+await sendGoogleChatMessage({
+  webhookUrl: process.env.GOOGLE_CHAT_WEBHOOK_URL,
+  message: "Build failed",
+  sections: [
+    {
+      header: "Build Status",
+      widgets: [{textParagraph: {text: "Branch: main\nStatus: Failed"}}],
+    },
+  ],
+});
+``````
+
+### Zoom Notifications
+
+``````typescript
+import {sendZoomMessage} from "@terreno/api";
+
+await sendZoomMessage({
+  webhookUrl: process.env.ZOOM_WEBHOOK_URL,
+  message: "Server health alert",
+});
+``````
+
+**Common use cases:**
+- CI/CD pipeline notifications
+- Error alerts
+- Deployment confirmations
+- Health check failures
+
+## Utilities
+
+### checkModelsStrict
+
+Validates all registered Mongoose models use strict mode and virtual settings.
+
+``````typescript
+import {checkModelsStrict} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Run in non-production environments at startup
+if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
+  checkModelsStrict();
+}
+``````
+
+**Checks:**
+- `strict: "throw"` or `strict: true` (prevents accidental field additions)
+- `toJSON: {virtuals: true}` (includes virtual fields in JSON output)
+- `toObject: {virtuals: true}` (includes virtual fields in plain objects)
+
+**Throws:** Detailed error listing all non-compliant models
+
+**Why:** Prevents subtle bugs from schema misconfigurations that only appear in production.
+
+### isValidObjectId
+
+Better ObjectId validation than Mongoose's built-in validator.
+
+``````typescript
+import {isValidObjectId} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Mongoose's isValidObjectId has false positives
+console.log(mongoose.isValidObjectId("123456789012")); // true (wrong!)
+
+// @terreno/api's version correctly validates
+console.log(isValidObjectId("123456789012")); // false (correct)
+console.log(isValidObjectId("507f1f77bcf86cd799439011")); // true
+``````
+
+**Fix:** Checks length is exactly 24 hex characters, not just 12+ characters.
+
+### timeout
+
+Promise-based timeout utility.
+
+``````typescript
+import {timeout} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Wait 1 second
+await timeout(1000);
+
+// Use in retry logic
+for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
+  try {
+    await someOperation();
+    break;
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (i < 2) await timeout(1000 * Math.pow(2, i)); // Exponential backoff
+  }
+}
+``````
+
+## Script Helpers
+
+### wrapScript
+
+Error handling wrapper for scripts and cron jobs.
+
+``````typescript
+import {wrapScript} from "@terreno/api";
+
+wrapScript(async () => {
+  // Your script logic
+  await processData();
+  console.log("Script completed successfully");
+});
+``````
+
+**Features:**
+- Catches and logs exceptions via `logger.catch()`
+- Sends errors to Sentry
+- Exits with code 1 on error, 0 on success
+- Ensures process doesn't hang on uncaught errors
+
+### cronjob
+
+Schedule recurring tasks with error handling.
+
+``````typescript
+import {cronjob} from "@terreno/api";
+
+// Run every hour
+cronjob("0 * * * *", async () => {
+  await cleanupOldData();
+}, {
+  name: "Cleanup Job",
+  runOnInit: false, // Run immediately on start?
+});
+``````
+
+**Features:**
+- Uses `node-cron` syntax
+- Automatic error logging
+- Named jobs for monitoring
+- Optional immediate execution
+
+**Cron syntax:** `"minute hour day month weekday"`
+- `"*/5 * * * *"` — Every 5 minutes
+- `"0 0 * * *"` — Daily at midnight
+- `"0 */6 * * *"` — Every 6 hours
+
+## Deprecations
+
+### transformer (modelRouter option)
+
+**Deprecated:** Use lifecycle hooks instead (`preCreate`, `postCreate`, etc.)
+
+``````typescript
+// Old (deprecated)
+modelRouter(Model, {
+  transformer: (doc) => ({...doc, computed: true}),
+});
+
+// New (use responseHandler)
+modelRouter(Model, {
+  responseHandler: (doc, method) => ({...doc, computed: true}),
+});
+``````
+
+### responseSerializer (modelRouter option)
+
+**Deprecated:** Use `responseHandler` instead.
+
+``````typescript
+// Old (deprecated)
+modelRouter(Model, {
+  responseSerializer: (doc) => serialize(doc),
+});
+
+// New
+modelRouter(Model, {
+  responseHandler: (doc, method) => serialize(doc),
+});
+``````
