+One rule per app, declared once — `defineApi({ http: { pathStyle } })` — plus a per-action pin.
+
+| `pathStyle` | `publishPost` | `signIn` | `health` | `viewCustomer360` |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `'resource'` (default) | `/api/posts/publish` | `/api/ins/sign` | `/api/healths/invoke` | `/api/customer360s/view` |
+| `'readable'` | `/api/publish-post` | `/api/sign-in` | `/api/health` | `/api/view-customer360` |
+
+- **`'resource'`** guesses a noun from the words after the first and pluralizes it — right for
+  `verbNoun`, ungrammatical otherwise. It stays the default: changing it moves every URL an app
+  serves, so an app opts in.
+- **`'readable'`** guesses nothing: `/api/<kebab-cased export name>`, the rule `/_x/query/<kebab>`
+  follows for reads. The OpenAPI tag becomes the resource the POLICY names (`can('cases:create')`
+  → `cases`), never a noun parsed from `In`.
+- **`http: { path }` pins one action's URL** whatever the style — for a webhook a vendor holds:
+  `action({ …, http: { path: '/api/webhooks/wompi' } })`. Static, lowercase, no params, never
+  `/_x` (`X_ACTION_HTTP_PATH_INVALID`). A pin colliding with another path is
+  `X_ACTION_PATH_DUPLICATE` at boot.
+- Every server-side reader agrees: `toRoute`, `toOpenApiOperation`, `describeAction`,
+  `derivePath(name)` (pin-aware) and `actionHttpPath(action | name)`. The browser's `rpc()` derives
+  from the name alone, so it is told the style: `rpc({ baseUrl, pathStyle: 'readable' })`; a pinned
+  action is called through `action.client()`, which holds the pin.

+
+`toPostBinding(action, path)` is the same projection bound to a PAGE's URL for `POST`, the URL's
+query merged over the posted fields (query wins): what `defineRoute({ post: '<action>' })` mounts,
+for an RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe.
+
+The **MCP tool name is not derived at all** — it is the export name verbatim, because
 that is what `defineAppMcp`'s `scopes:` and a `tools/call` have to spell.
