+| 1 | Collection discovery | A — `x-terreno-sync` + `--collections` fallback |
+| 2 | Per-mutation retries | A — `maxAttempts` plumbing |
+| 3 | Type emission | A — hand-rolled emitter |
+| 4 | Hook factory | A — `createCollectionHooks` in `@terreno/syncdb/react` |
+| 5 | Hook naming | **C — friendly names** (`useTodos`, `useTodo`, `useCreateTodo`, …) |
+| 6 | Mutation return | A — `[trigger]` one-tuple |

+| 8 | Delivery | **B — single PR** |
+| 9 | npm publish | **Include `@terreno/syncdb-codegen` in `publish-on-tag.yml`** |
+
+## Open questions (blocking — see blend Step 3)
+
+Resolved — see table above.
+
+## Problem summary
+
+`@terreno/syncdb` is implemented (Phases 1–8 of `syncdb-local-first.md` landed). Consumers still hand-write collection strings, entity interfaces, and hook wiring — see `example-frontend/components/SyncTodosScreen.tsx`. RTK consumers get typed hooks from `bun run sdk` → `openApiSdk.ts`. The gap is a **codegen CLI** that reads the same OpenAPI spec and emits typed syncdb hooks (friendly names per approved IP).
+
+## What was investigated
+
+| Area | Locations | Finding |
+|------|-----------|---------|
+| React hooks | `syncdb/src/react/hooks.ts`, `index.ts` | `useQuery`, `useEntity`, `useMutate` exist; no per-operation hooks, no `createCollectionHooks` |
+| Mutate / outbox | `syncdb/src/client.ts`, `mutations/outbox.ts`, `storage/schema.ts` | `MutateArgs` has no `maxAttempts`; outbox rows have `errorNackCount` only; replay uses global `MAX_ERROR_NACK_ATTEMPTS = 5` |
+| OpenAPI list | `api/src/openApi.ts` `listOpenApiMiddleware` | No vendor extensions; no `operationId`; tags = model collection name |
+| Sync registry | `api/src/sync/registry.ts`, `api/src/api.ts` | In-memory only; `collectionTag = routePath.replace(/^\//, "")`; not reflected in OpenAPI |
+| Example backend | `example-backend/src/api/todos.ts`, `projects.ts` | `sync: {scope: {type: "owner"}}` on todos; tenant scope on projects |
+| RTK hook names | `example-frontend/store/openApiSdk.ts` | `useGetTodosQuery`, `useGetTodosByIdQuery`, `usePostTodosMutation`, `usePatchTodosByIdMutation`, `useDeleteTodosByIdMutation` |
+| Codegen package | `syncdb-codegen/` | **Does not exist** — tasks/IP only |
+| Parent IP | `docs/implementationPlans/syncdb-local-first.md` | Shaped; codegen listed as Phase 6 / future work |
+| Roadmap | `.github/roadmap-fields.yml` present | Roadmap-enabled repo; no GitHub issue found for syncdb-codegen |
+
+## Current consumer pattern (manual)
+
+```typescript
+// example-frontend/components/SyncTodosScreen.tsx
+interface SyncTodo { _id: string; title?: string; completed?: boolean; created?: string; }
+const todos = useQuery<SyncTodo>("todos", {sort: sortByCreatedDesc});
+const {update, remove} = useMutate("todos");
+```
+
+`example-frontend/store/syncdb.ts` maintains `SYNC_COLLECTIONS` by hand — can drift from backend `sync` registration.
+
+## Candidate options (not chosen here — see blocking questions)
+
+### How codegen discovers synced collections
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| **A. `x-terreno-sync` on list OpenAPI ops** | Single input (same as RTK); spec is versioned with backend; ~10-line api change | Must thread `routePath` into `listOpenApiMiddleware` (not available today) |
+| **B. `--collections` CLI flag only** | No api change | Drifts from backend; duplicates config |
+| **C. `GET /sync/config` manifest** | Runtime truth | Extra endpoint; second source of truth vs OpenAPI |
+
+Draft IP recommends **A + B fallback**.
+
+### Per-mutation retry budget (`retries` / `maxAttempts`)
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| **A. Plumb `maxAttempts` through mutate → outbox → replay** | Config is honest; matches RTK `maxRetries: 0` intent | Touches syncdb storage + replay coordinator |
+| **B. Codegen emits `retries` but engine ignores** | Smaller diff | Lying generated config |
+
+Draft IP recommends **A**.
+
+### Type emission from OpenAPI schemas
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| **A. Hand-rolled emitter for mongoose-to-swagger dialect** | Zero runtime deps; small compiled binary | Must grow if spec dialect widens |
+| **B. `openapi-typescript` or oazapfts** | Battle-tested | Heavier dep; may emit more than needed |
+
+Draft IP recommends **A** (~150 lines + snapshot tests).
+
+### Hook factory location
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| **A. `createCollectionHooks` in `@terreno/syncdb/react`** | Versioned with hooks; custom hooks use same factory | Expands syncdb public API |
+| **B. Inline factory in every generated file** | No syncdb API change | Duplicated generated code |
+| **C. Runtime export from `@terreno/syncdb-codegen`** | — | Codegen becomes app dependency (rejected) |
+
+Draft IP recommends **A**.
+
+### Hook naming and RTK collision
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| **A. Grouped `useTodosMutate()`** | No name collision with RTK | Different call sites; harder migration |
+| **B. RTK-exact per-op names (`useGetTodosQuery`, …)** | Import-path migration | Intentional name collision — must not barrel-export both SDKs |
+| **C. Friendly names (`useCreateTodo`)** | Readable | Diverges from RTK; migration friction |
+
+Draft IP recommends **B**.
+
+### Mutation hook return shape
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| **A. `[trigger]` one-tuple** | RTK destructuring compiles; syncdb writes are sync | `.unwrap()` / `isLoading` must be deleted at migration |
+| **B. Full RTK async tuple** | Drop-in compat | Fakes async state syncdb does not have |
+
+Draft IP recommends **A**.
+
+## Technical notes for implementation
+
+1. **`listOpenApiMiddleware` needs `routePath`**: Today signature is `(model, options)` only. `collection` for `x-terreno-sync` must match `sync/registry.ts` `collectionTag` (path without leading `/`). Pass path from `_buildModelRouter` or read from options if added there.
+
+2. **`scope` in extension**: Emit scope **type** string (`owner` | `tenant` | `broadcast` | `custom`). Function resolvers → `"custom"`.
+
+3. **Name derivation**: Match `@rtk-query/codegen-openapi` — pascal-case from HTTP method + path segments (verified against `openApiSdk.ts` for `/todos`).
+
+4. **example-backend has two synced models** (todos owner, projects tenant). Draft IP example-frontend integration only wires todos — confirm whether projects should appear in generated SDK for the example app.
+
+5. **No data migration** for optional `_outbox.maxAttempts` cell — missing cell keeps engine default (5).
+
+6. **Roadmap handoff**: When IP status → Approved, run `roadmap-item` to create/update tracking issue (no existing issue found).

 ## Goal
 
-Ship `@terreno/syncdb-codegen`: a small CLI (runnable as an npm bin under bun and buildable as a standalone compiled bun binary) that reads a backend OpenAPI spec and generates a static, typed set of syncdb hooks — the local-first analogue of the existing `@rtk-query/codegen-openapi` flow (`bun run sdk` → `store/openApiSdk.ts`).

-After this IP, a generated `store/syncDbSdk.ts` provides one hook per operation with the exact names RTK codegen would produce for the same routes — `useGetTodosQuery` (list query), `useGetTodosByIdQuery` (read), `usePostTodosMutation` (create), `usePatchTodosByIdMutation` (update/patch), `useDeleteTodosByIdMutation` (delete) — with payload types derived from the same OpenAPI schemas RTK codegen uses (`Todo`, `CreateTodoBody`, `UpdateTodoBody`), plus a `SYNC_COLLECTIONS` constant that feeds `createSyncDb`. Migrating a screen from RTK to syncdb becomes (mostly) an import-path change. Custom hooks are supported the same way RTK supports custom endpoints: the generated file is never edited, and consumers extend it in a sibling file using the same public factory the generated code uses.
+After this IP, a generated `store/syncDbSdk.ts` provides one hook per operation with **friendly, entity-centric names** — `useTodos` (list), `useTodo` (read by id), `useCreateTodo`, `useUpdateTodo`, `useDeleteTodo` — with payload types derived from the same OpenAPI schemas RTK codegen uses (`Todo`, `CreateTodoBody`, `UpdateTodoBody`), plus a `SYNC_COLLECTIONS` constant that feeds `createSyncDb`. Names deliberately differ from RTK codegen so `openApiSdk.ts` and `syncDbSdk.ts` can coexist without collision during migration. Mutation hooks still use one-element `[trigger]` tuples for familiar destructuring; triggers are syncdb-native (no `.unwrap()`). Custom hooks are supported the same way RTK supports custom endpoints: the generated file is never edited, and consumers extend it in a sibling file using `createCollectionHooks`.
 
 ## Non-Goals
 
 - Covering the whole syncdb surface. Only the five CRUD operations (list query, read, create, update/patch, delete) get generated per-collection hooks. `useSyncStatus`, `useConflicts`, `useSyncDbClient`, and `SyncDbProvider` are global (not per-collection) and stay as direct imports from `@terreno/syncdb/react`.
-- Full RTK return-shape emulation. Hook **names and call sites** match RTK; return shapes are syncdb-native where the semantics differ (no `isLoading`/`error` async state on mutations — writes are synchronous local applies plus a durable outbox; sync state lives in `useSyncStatus`). The mapping is documented in the generated file header and the migration guide.
+- Full RTK return-shape emulation. Hook **names** are syncdb-friendly (not RTK-derived); mutation hooks use `[trigger]` tuples only. Return shapes are syncdb-native (no `isLoading`/`error` async state on mutations — writes are synchronous local applies plus a durable outbox; sync state lives in `useSyncStatus`). The RTK ↔ syncdb mapping is documented in the generated file header and the migration guide.
 - Runtime schema validation of mutation payloads (types are compile-time only, matching RTK codegen).
-- Publishing per-platform compiled binaries to npm or GitHub releases (the compiled binary is a local/CI build target for now; `@terreno/syncdb` itself is not in `publish-on-tag.yml` yet either).
+- Publishing per-platform compiled binaries as GitHub release artifacts (the compiled binary remains a local/CI `build:binary` target).
 - Watch mode, incremental generation, or multi-output-file support.
 - Generating Redux integration or migrating non-synced endpoints — per `docs/how-to/migrate-rtk-to-syncdb.md`, custom routes stay on RTK.

 | **Config surface: flags only, or a config file?** The binary should "take a few args", but per-collection overrides (retries, exclusions) don't map well to flags. | **Flags for the common path, optional JSON config for overrides.** `--schema`, `--out`, `--collections` cover the RTK-equivalent happy path. `--config ./syncdb-codegen.json` adds `{overrides: {<collection>: {retries?: boolean \| number}}, exportName?, sdkImportPath?}`. JSON (not TS) because a compiled bun binary cannot reliably import arbitrary consumer TypeScript at runtime; RTK's TS `ConfigFile` needs the `tsx`/`TS_NODE_PROJECT` dance we currently work around in `example-frontend/scripts/generate-sdk.ts`. |
 | **How are TS types emitted from OpenAPI schemas?** Options: (a) a small hand-rolled emitter for the subset `mongoose-to-swagger` actually produces (objects, primitives, enums as string unions, arrays, `$ref`); (b) depend on `openapi-typescript` or oazapfts. | **(a).** The @terreno/api spec is a narrow, known dialect; a ~150-line emitter with snapshot tests keeps the binary dependency-free and small. If the emitter grows past that dialect, revisit (b). |
 | **Where does the shared hook factory live?** Generated code and custom hooks must be built the same way (the RTK parallel: generated `injectEndpoints` and app `sdk.ts` both build on `emptySplitApi`).

Name derivation is the same deterministic pascal-case of the route path RTK uses (no singularization heuristics). This makes RTK→syncdb migration an import swap. Two consequences are accepted: (1) name **collisions with `openApiSdk.ts`** are intentional — during migration both files export e.g. `useGetTodosQuery`, and the import path picks the data source; imports must never be mixed via a barrel that re-exports both. (2) "update" and "patch" are the **same hook**: modelRouter only exposes PATCH (merge semantics) and syncdb's update is a merge, so `usePatchTodosByIdMutation` is the update hook — there is no separate PUT/replace hook to generate. |

Derivation: `entityName` from the list-item schema `$ref` basename (`Todo`); `pluralName` = PascalCase of the collection path segment (`todos` → `Todos`). List hook `use{Plural}`; read hook `use{Entity}`; mutations `useCreate{Entity}`, `useUpdate{Entity}`, `useDelete{Entity}`. No collision with RTK hooks during dual-stack migration. "Update" and "patch" are the same hook — modelRouter only exposes PATCH (merge semantics). |
 | **Mutation hook return shape.** RTK mutation hooks return `[trigger, {isLoading, error, ...}]` and triggers return promises with `.unwrap()`. syncdb writes are synchronous local applies; there is no per-call async state. | **One-element tuple `[trigger]`.** Keeps the RTK call site (`const [createTodo] = usePostTodosMutation()`) working unchanged; the trigger returns `{mutationId, id}` synchronously instead of a promise, so `.unwrap()`/`isLoading` usages are deleted during migration (the compiler flags them).

 ## Feature Flags & Migrations
 
 - No new feature flags. The existing `use-syncdb` flag continues to gate the syncdb path in `example-frontend`.
 - No data migrations. The new `_outbox.maxAttempts` cell is optional and defaulted.
-- Publishing: not wired into `publish-on-tag.yml` in this IP (neither is `@terreno/syncdb` yet); tracked in Future Work so both are added together.
+- **Publishing:** codegen is a bin of `@terreno/syncdb`; the existing `publish-syncdb` job is sufficient. Do not add a separate `@terreno/syncdb-codegen` package or publish job.

 ## Not Included / Future Work
 
-- Publishing `@terreno/syncdb` and `@terreno/syncdb-codegen` to npm (add `publish-syncdb` + `publish-syncdb-codegen` jobs to `publish-on-tag.yml`).
 - Per-platform prebuilt binaries as release artifacts.
 - Generated wrappers for `useSyncStatus`/`useConflicts` (no per-collection typing to add).
 - Server-driven filters/sorts in `useQuery` options (syncdb filters run client-side in JS; nothing for codegen to type beyond `TData`).
 - Zod/AJV runtime validation of mutation payloads against the OpenAPI schema.
-- Custom hook naming via config (`overrides.todos.hookPrefix`), for apps that need to avoid the intentional name overlap with RTK-generated hooks.
-- RTK-compatible async mutation state (`isLoading`, promise-returning triggers with `.unwrap()`), should a drop-in compatibility mode ever be wanted.
+- Optional RTK-compatible hook naming mode (`overrides.todos.naming: "rtk"`) for teams that want import-swap migration without renames.

+
+`AdminConfig` is the `admin` object accepted by `modelRouter`.
+
+| Field | Django admin analogue | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `displayName` | `verbose_name_plural` | Required navigation and page label. |
+| `listFields` | `list_display` | Required allowlist of list/form fields. |
+| `listDisplay` | `list_display` | Optional visible list columns. |
+| `listDisplayLinks` | `list_display_links` | Columns linking to the edit screen. |
+| `searchFields` | `search_fields` | String fields matched by the list search box as a case-insensitive partial query. |
+| `sortableFields` | `sortable_by` | Columns allowed to sort. |
+| `defaultSort` | `ordering` | Initial sort field(s), using `-field` for descending. |
+| `pageSize` | `list_per_page` | Rows per page. |
+| `filters` | `list_filter` | Filter drawer definitions. |
+| `fieldsets` | `fieldsets` | Ordered collapsible form groups. |
+| `fieldOrder` | `fields` | Flat form order when fieldsets are absent. |
+| `readonlyFields` | `readonly_fields` | Visible, non-editable fields. |
+| `hiddenFields` | `exclude` | Fields omitted from admin forms and responses. |
+| `excludeFields` | `exclude` | Additional response-scrubbing fields. |
+| `autocompleteFields` | `autocomplete_fields` | Reference fields using async search. |
+| `fieldOverrides` | `formfield_overrides` | Per-field label/help/widget metadata. |
+| `adminPermissions` | `has_*_permission` | Admin-route permission method overrides. |
+| `adminFilter` | `get_queryset` | Server-enforced query constraint. |
+| `actions` | `actions` | Declarative bulk-patch/background actions. |
+| `bulkPatchAllowlist` | — | Fields accepted by bulk patch. |
+| `recordTitleField` | `__str__` | Field used for edit-page titles. |
+| `group` | `app_label` | Navigation group. |
+| `icon` | — | Navigation icon name. |
+| `realtime` | — | Emit scrubbed admin change events. |
+| `includeDeleted` | — | Reserved compatibility option. |
+
+## Supporting types
+
+`AdminFilter` has `field`, `kind`, and optional `label`. Kinds are `boolean`, `text`, `ref`,
+`dateRange`, and `choice`; refs add `refModel`, choices add `{label,value}[]`.
+
+`AdminFieldset` has `title`, `fields`, optional `description`, and optional `collapsed`.
+
+`AdminAction` has `id`, `label`, optional `confirm`, `background`, and `patchKeys`.
+
+`AdminContribution` may provide `models`, `customScreens`, `homeWidgets`, and `scripts`.
+Model contributions contain `model`, `routePath`, and `admin`. Duplicate `routePath`s
+throw for registered routers; the same Mongoose model at two paths gets unique config
+`name`s so the admin UI can route to each.
+
+## Legacy migration
+
+Move each object from `AdminApp.models` to the model's `modelRouter({admin: ...})`; remove
+`model` and `routePath` from the nested config because those come from the router registration.
+Plugin-owned models should come from `plugin.adminContribution()` instead of host duplication.
