-# API Patterns — Design & Protocol Mastery
-
-## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
-- ❌ JWT in URL query params → ✅ `Authorization: Bearer` header only. Query params get logged in server access logs.
-- ❌ Assuming JWT is encrypted → ✅ JWT is base64-encoded (NOT encrypted). Anyone can decode it. Never put secrets/PII in the payload.
-- ❌ Offset pagination on large tables → ✅ `OFFSET 100000` scans and discards 100K rows. Use cursor pagination for tables > 10K rows.
-- ❌ Verbs in REST URLs (`/api/getUsers`) → ✅ Nouns only (`GET /api/users`). HTTP method IS the verb.
-- ❌ `POST` is idempotent → ✅ `POST` is NOT idempotent — requires `Idempotency-Key` header for safe retries.
-- ❌ GraphQL has no security risks → ✅ Deeply nested queries are a DoS vector. Set max depth, query cost limits. Disable introspection in production.

-## Protocol Selection Matrix
-
-| Protocol | Use When |
-|----------|----------|
-| **REST** | Public APIs, 3rd-party consumers, standard CRUD, HTTP caching |
-| **GraphQL** | Complex nested data, multiple clients, flexible queries, mobile bandwidth sensitivity |
-| **tRPC** | Full-stack TypeScript (Next.js monorepo), shared types, no codegen |
-| **gRPC** | Internal microservices, high-throughput, streaming, binary protocol |
-| **WebSocket** | Bidirectional real-time (chat, gaming, live collaboration) |
-| **SSE** | Server-to-client streaming only (AI token streaming, live feeds) |
-

-## REST Design
-
-### URL Conventions
-```
-✅  GET    /api/v1/users              list users
-✅  GET    /api/v1/users/123          get user by ID
-✅  POST   /api/v1/users              create user
-✅  PATCH  /api/v1/users/123          partial update
-✅  DELETE /api/v1/users/123          delete user
-✅  GET    /api/v1/users/123/posts    nested resource
-
-❌  /api/getUsers   /api/createUser   /api/user (singular)   /api/Users (uppercase)
-```
-
-### HTTP Status Codes
-```
-200 OK             → GET / PUT / PATCH success
-201 Created        → POST success (include Location: /api/v1/users/123 header)
-204 No Content     → DELETE success
-400 Bad Request    → Malformed request / missing fields
-401 Unauthorized   → Missing or invalid authentication
-403 Forbidden      → Authenticated but not authorized
-404 Not Found      → Resource does not exist
-409 Conflict       → Duplicate resource (email already exists)
-422 Unprocessable  → Valid JSON, semantically invalid data
-429 Too Many Req   → Rate limit exceeded
-500 Internal       → Unhandled server error — NEVER expose stack traces
-```
-
-### Response Envelope
-```typescript
-interface ApiResponse<T> { data: T; meta?: Record<string, unknown>; }
-
-interface ApiError {
-  error: {
-    code: string;       // machine-readable: "VALIDATION_ERROR"
-    message: string;    // human-readable: "Email is already in use"
-    details?: Array<{ field: string; message: string }>; // field-level errors
-    requestId?: string; // for support/tracing
-  };
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Pagination
-
-```typescript
-// ✅ Cursor-based — required for large/dynamic datasets
-// GET /api/v1/posts?cursor=eyJpZCI6MTAwfQ&limit=20
-const posts = await db.post.findMany({
-  where: { id: { lt: decodeCursor(req.query.cursor).id } },
-  orderBy: { id: "desc" },
-  take: limit + 1, // fetch one extra to determine hasMore
-});
-const hasMore = posts.length > limit;
-if (hasMore) posts.pop();
-return { data: posts, meta: { hasMore, nextCursor: encodeCursor(posts.at(-1)) } };
-
-// Offset-based — only for small datasets where users need page jumping
-// GET /api/v1/posts?page=3&limit=20
-// ❌ TRAP: OFFSET 100000 scans and discards 100K rows — degrades badly at scale
-```
-
----
-
-## Idempotency
-
-```typescript
-// POST /api/v1/payments with header: Idempotency-Key: <uuid>
-app.post("/api/v1/payments", async (req, res) => {
-  const key = req.headers["idempotency-key"];
-  if (!key) return res.status(400).json({ error: "Missing Idempotency-Key" });
-
-  const cached = await redis.get(`idempotency:${key}`);
-  if (cached) return res.status(200).json(JSON.parse(cached));
-
-  const result = await processPayment(req.body);
-  await redis.set(`idempotency:${key}`, JSON.stringify(result), "EX", 86400);
-  return res.status(201).json(result);
-});
-// GET, PUT, DELETE → naturally idempotent (safe to retry without a key)
-// POST, PATCH      → NOT idempotent by default — require Idempotency-Key
-```
-
----
-
-## Webhooks
-
-```typescript
-// HMAC signature verification (always verify — never trust unsigned webhooks)
-import { createHmac, timingSafeEqual } from "node:crypto";
-function verify(payload: string, signature: string, secret: string): boolean {
-  const expected = createHmac("sha256", secret).update(payload).digest("hex");
-  return timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));
-}
-
-app.post("/webhooks", (req, res) => {
-  if (!verify(JSON.stringify(req.body), req.headers["x-webhook-signature"] as string, WEBHOOK_SECRET))
-    return res.status(401).send("Invalid signature");
-  res.status(200).send("OK"); // respond immediately
-  processWebhookAsync(req.body); // process asynchronously
-});
-// Retry policy: 3 retries with exponential backoff (1s → 10s → 100s)
-// Include unique event ID in payload for receiver-side deduplication
-```
-
----
-
-## Versioning
-
-```
-URL path (recommended):  /api/v1/users      → simplest, most common, cache-friendly
-Header:                  Accept: application/vnd.api.v1+json
-Query param:             /api/users?version=1 → messy, avoid
-
-Rules:
-  - Start at v1, never v0
-  - Breaking changes = new major version (v2)
-  - Non-breaking additions (new optional fields) do NOT need a version bump
-  - Deprecate before removing — give consumers 6+ months notice
-```
-
----
-
-## Rate Limiting
-
-```
-Strategy         How                          When
-Token bucket   → Burst allowed, refills       Most APIs (recommended)
-Sliding window → Smooth distribution          Strict fairness required
-Fixed window   → Simple counter per period    Basic needs only
-
-Response headers to always include:
-  X-RateLimit-Limit        (max requests in window)
-  X-RateLimit-Remaining    (requests left)
-  X-RateLimit-Reset        (Unix timestamp when limit resets)
-  Retry-After              (seconds to wait on 429)
-```
-
----
-
-## GraphQL Security
-
-```
-Protect against:
-  Depth attacks    → Set max query depth (typically 7–10)
-  Cost attacks     → Calculate query complexity score, reject > threshold
-  Batch abuse      → Limit batch size / alias count
-  Introspection    → Disable in production (exposes full schema to attackers)
-```
-
----
-
-## Authentication Selection
-
-| Pattern | Best For |
-|---------|----------|
-| **JWT** (short-lived access + httpOnly refresh) | Stateless services, microservices |
-| **Session** | Traditional server-rendered apps |
-| **OAuth 2.0 / OIDC** | Third-party login, delegated access |
-| **API Key** | Server-to-server, public API consumers |
-| **Passkey (WebAuthn)** | Modern passwordless (2026+) |

-AI coding assistants often fall into specific bad habits when dealing with this domain. These are strictly forbidden:
-
-1. **Over-engineering:** Proposing complex abstractions or distributed systems when a simpler approach suffices.
-2. **Hallucinated Libraries/Methods:** Using non-existent methods or packages. Always `// VERIFY` or check `package.json` / `requirements.txt`.
-3. **Skipping Edge Cases:** Writing the "happy path" and ignoring error handling, timeouts, or data validation.
-4. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
-5. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or re-raising.

-
-**Slash command: `/review` or `/tribunal-full`**
-**Active reviewers: `logic-reviewer` · `security-auditor`**
-
-### ❌ Forbidden AI Tropes
-
-1. **Blind Assumptions:** Never make an assumption without documenting it clearly with `// VERIFY: [reason]`.
-2. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or handling.
-3. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
-
-
-
-Review these questions before confirming output:
-```
-✅ Did I rely ONLY on real, verified tools and methods?
-✅ Is this solution appropriately scoped to the user's constraints?
-✅ Did I handle potential failure modes and edge cases?
-✅ Have I avoided generic boilerplate that doesn't add value?
-```
-
-### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
-
-**CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
-- ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
-- ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing tests, compile success, or equivalent proof) that your output works as intended.
-
-
-## Pre-Flight Checklist
-- [ ] Have I reviewed the user's specific constraints and requests?
-- [ ] Have I checked the environment for relevant existing implementations?
-
-## VBC Protocol (Verification-Before-Completion)
-You MUST verify existing code signatures and variables before attempting to modify or call them. No hallucination is permitted.
