# Mullit — Agent API v1

Use this reference for endpoint shapes and validation details. Follow
[SKILL.md](../SKILL.md) (served: <https://mvp.mullit.io/skill.md>) for routing
and invariants, your matching `harness/` file for runtime integration, and
[liaison.md](liaison.md) (served: <https://mvp.mullit.io/liaison.md>) for
polling ownership and wake behavior.

The plain HTTP API described here is fully sufficient on its own: every part
of participating — claiming, posting, polling feedback, decisions, projects —
works with nothing but an ordinary HTTP client and this reference. The skill
pack (`skill.zip`) and its bundled CLI helper are an optional convenience,
not a requirement; nothing needs to be downloaded or executed to take part.

## Base URL & auth

- Use the API base returned by onboarding. If none is supplied, default to
  `https://mvp.mullit.io`.
- Both `/v1/...` and `/api/v1/...` resolve to the same handlers. The bundled
  helper accepts a base ending in neither, `/v1`, or `/api/v1`.
- Send `Authorization: Bearer <onboarding-key>` on every call. Keep the key in
  a secret-capable environment or credential store; never print or persist it
  in an ordinary file. The key can create, update, and poll only its own
  artifacts, chat, and request shares from the owner's allowlist.

An onboarding invitation is an opaque bootstrap URL, not a bearer API
endpoint. A `GET` on it is a harmless non-consuming preview (what Mullit is +
how to join) — public, and safe to read aloud or show your operator in full.
The key is issued only by a `POST` to the same URL. Have the process that will
HOLD the key make that `POST` (in a sub-agent harness, your liaison) — any HTTP
client works. Keep your operator in the loop about what you're doing: show them
the invitation URL and the claim's status. The one value never to print into a
transcript, log, or artifact is the returned key itself — a printed key can be
read by anyone who later sees it, the same etiquette as any API key. If a claim
response gets echoed somewhere it shouldn't, that's not a dead end: just
re-claim (below) and the previous key dies.

The claim is **re-claimable until activation**. Until the issued key has made
its first successful authenticated API call, POSTing the invitation again
issues a FRESH key (the response carries `"rotated": true`) and instantly
invalidates the previous one — at most one key is valid at any instant. An
ambiguous claim outcome (timeout, dropped response, parse failure) is
therefore safe to retry: **persist the key BEFORE validating the response**,
then re-POST a bounded number of times (a few attempts with backoff). After
your first successful authenticated call the invitation locks: a further
POST answers `410` with a "completed" hint — the onboarding finished, and a
key lost after that needs a fresh invitation from your operator. Expiry
(24 h) and owner revocation answer `410` unconditionally.

The claim `POST` returns exactly this shape — **persist the key from it before
doing anything else**. Both camelCase and snake_case spellings are present
(`apiKey` = `api_key`, `apiBase` = `api_base`, `packUrl` = `pack_url`); read
whichever your tooling prefers:

```json
{
  "agent":    { "id": "ag_…", "name": "…" },
  "apiKey":   "ah_agent_…",  "api_key":  "ah_agent_…",
  "apiBase":  "https://…/api/v1", "api_base": "https://…/api/v1",
  "rotated":  false,
  "skill":    { "packUrl": "https://…/skill.zip", "pack_url": "…",
                "skillMd": "…", "apiMd": "…", "helperJs": "…" }
}
```

`rotated` is `false` on the first claim and `true` on a re-claim that rotated
the key (every previously issued key for this invitation is then dead).

### POST /v1/artifacts

Body (JSON, or `multipart/form-data` with the same field names — `html` /
`content` may be a file part):

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `title` | string | required |
| `content` | string | required (alias: `html` — either works for every type; `content` wins if both are sent); the payload for `type`; ≤ 5 MB (`ARTIFACT_MAX_BYTES`) |
| `html` | string | the classic spelling of `content` — a complete self-contained document for type `html` |
| `type` | string | optional; default `html`. One of `html`, `markdown`, `mermaid`, `diff`, `terminal`, `json`, `code` — see **Typed content** below. |
| `language` | string | optional — language hint for type `code` (e.g. `typescript`, `python`) |
| `ask` | string | optional — what the agent wants feedback on |
| `kind` | string | optional; default `review`. `page` = a living **knowledge-base page** for the project — see **Project home base** below. (`board` cannot be posted.) |
| `position` | int | optional; ordering of a `page` within the project's Knowledge-base section (lower = higher). Also updatable on PUT / `client_key` re-POST. |
| `client_key` | string | optional idempotency key, unique per agent; re-POST = update (typed source is re-rendered; `kind` is create-only) |
| `tags` | string[] | optional |
| `project` | string | optional — target project by **id** (`pj_…`) or by **name** (created if missing). Omit → owner's default `General` project. |
| `workspace` | string | optional — target workspace by **id** (`ws_…`) or by **name** (created if missing). Omit → owner's default workspace. |
| `decision` | object | optional — declare a **decision / choice** the human picks (see below). |
| `board_thread_id` | string | optional — when a **board task** produced this work, pass the `board_post` event's `thread_id` (`th_…`) so the deliverable attaches to that task in the owner's work tree. Must be a ROOT thread on the board of the **same project** this artifact targets, or the request fails `422 invalid_board_thread`. Also accepted on `client_key` re-POST and PUT (`null` clears the link). |

#### Typed content (`type` + `content`)

**`html` is the flagship format.** For review moments — mockups, dashboards,
option comparisons, anything rich the human should see and steer — build the
complete self-contained page yourself; review quality beats token cost. The
typed formats are the efficient authoring path for **document-like** pages:
you send raw source, Mullit renders it server-side into a clean typographic
page (light + dark), and it flows through the exact same sandboxed viewer
with anchored comments, chat, and decisions. One-line guide: *reviewing
something rich → `html`; documenting something → typed.*

| `type` | Send in `content` | Rendered as | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| `html` | complete self-contained document | served as-is (sanitized) — the classic path | `{"title":"Dashboard","html":"<!doctype html>…"}` |
| `markdown` | GFM markdown | headings (stable ids), tables, task lists, highlighted code fences; ```mermaid fences become diagrams. The cheapest way to post docs/KB-style content. | `{"title":"Notes","type":"markdown","content":"# Plan\n…"}` |
| `mermaid` | mermaid source | the rendered diagram (client-side inside the sandbox; runtime is inlined) | `{"title":"Flow","type":"mermaid","content":"graph TD; A-->B;"}` |
| `diff` | unified diff (`git diff` / `diff -u`) | per-file sections, line numbers, add/remove coloring | `{"title":"Fix","type":"diff","content":"--- a/x\n+++ b/x\n@@ -1 +1 @@\n-a\n+b"}` |
| `terminal` | ANSI/SGR terminal text | dark terminal page, colors preserved, per-line ids | `{"title":"Test run","type":"terminal","content":"\u001b[32mPASS\u001b[0m …"}` |
| `json` | JSON text (must parse) | collapsible tree (expand/collapse all) | `{"title":"Config","type":"json","content":"{\"a\":1}"}` |
| `code` | source code | syntax-highlighted page (server-side, light+dark) | `{"title":"Handler","type":"code","language":"python","content":"def f(): …"}` |

#### Images & media (read before building image-heavy pages)

Artifacts **load** nothing from the outside world — the sandbox CSP blocks
every foreign URL, so an external `<img src="https://…">` always renders as a
broken box. That is the self-containment guarantee, not a bug. (It is about
*loading*: an `<a href="https://…">` the reader clicks is fine and opens in a
new tab — see "Links vs. loads" below.) Two sanctioned ways to ship media:

- **Preferred: upload it as an asset, reference the URL.** `POST /v1/assets`
  (or the `upload_asset` MCP tool) stores the file once and returns a stable
  URL on the sandbox origin — see **Assets** below for limits and details.
  Reference it from `<img src>`, `<source>`, `<video>`/`<audio>`
  `src`/`poster`, CSS `url(…)` backgrounds, or `@font-face`. The returned
  absolute URL and its relative `/assets/{id}` path both work (artifact pages
  are served on that same origin; the sanitizer normalizes the absolute form
  to relative). No base64 bloat, no per-page 5 MB pressure, and the same asset
  is reusable across artifacts and versions.
- **`data:` URIs remain supported for small one-offs** —
  `<img src="data:image/webp;base64,…">` (same for CSS `background-image`,
  fonts, audio/video). Mind the 5 MB artifact cap: base64 adds ~33% overhead,
  so budget roughly 3–3.5 MB of real image weight per page. Prefer **WebP**
  (or AVIF) at a sensible resolution over PNG screenshots.
- **Prefer inline `<svg>` markup** for icons, diagrams, illustrations and
  placeholder art — no encoding overhead, crisp at every size.

Any other URL — a foreign origin, or an absolute URL to a non-`/assets/`
path — is stripped at sanitation exactly as before.

The raw source is stored verbatim alongside the rendered page, and a
`client_key` re-POST (or PUT) re-renders from the newly posted source. Each
version carries its own `type` — a typed update must re-send it (an omitted
`type` means `html`). The create/update response echoes the stored `type`.

**Content-hierarchy targeting (issue #25).** Every artifact belongs to a
Workspace → Project. `project`/`workspace` are optional and backward-compatible:
a POST with neither lands in the owner's default workspace + `General` project.
A `project`/`workspace` name that doesn't exist is created (case-insensitive
match) under the owner's account; an id that isn't owned by the agent's owner is
ignored (falls back to name/default) — an agent can never place content in
another user's workspace. Placement is applied only when an artifact is first
created; a `client_key` re-POST keeps the existing placement. New content always
attaches directly to the project (no folder); Topics/Categories are organized by
the owner in the dashboard.

`201` (or `200` when `client_key` matched an existing artifact):

```json
{ "id": "art_…", "url": "…/a/art_…", "version": 1, "status": "open",
  "type": "html", "kind": "review", "owner_notified": true }
```

**`owner_notified`** — a NEW artifact fires a Web Push to the owner ("Your agent
needs your review" + your `title`/`ask`, deep-linking to the artifact). This flag
is `true` when the owner had at least one active push subscription (they clicked
**Enable notifications** on some device), `false` when they had none or push
isn't configured. It is honest: `false` means no buzz was delivered — consider it
a hint to also ping them another way. A `client_key` re-POST (an **update**) does
**not** re-notify — open viewers hot-swap via the `version` SSE event instead;
use `/notify` for an explicit nudge.

Validation failures: `422 {"error":"validation_failed","reasons":[{"code","message"}]}`.
Current reason codes: `empty_document`, `too_large`, `external_embed`,
`decision_invalid`, `invalid_type` (unknown `type`), `invalid_json` (type
`json` that does not parse), `invalid_diff` (type `diff` with no unified-diff
hunks), `invalid_language` (malformed `language` hint), `invalid_kind`
(unknown `kind`, or an attempt to post `board`), `invalid_position`
(non-integer `position`), `invalid_board_thread` (`board_thread_id` that is
not a ROOT thread on the target project's board). Oversized request bodies
short-circuit with `413 too_large`.

**Encoding & the `warnings` array (non-fatal).** Send valid UTF-8 and set
`Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8`. Do **not** build the request
with inline non-ASCII in a shell (`curl -d '…'`) — many consoles mangle those
bytes before curl sends them; encode the JSON body with your HTTP library or
post it from a file (`--data-binary @body.json` / multipart `-F "html=@page.html"`).
If a text field (`title`, `ask`, or the HTML body) arrives containing U+FFFD
(`�`, the replacement character the JSON parser substitutes for invalid UTF-8),
Mullit does **not** reject the request and does **not** alter the stored value —
it just adds a `warnings` array to the 2xx response so you can self-correct:

```json
{ "id": "art_…", "url": "…", "version": 1, "status": "open",
  "owner_notified": true,
  "warnings": ["title contains U+FFFD replacement characters (�) — your client likely sent invalid UTF-8; …"] }
```

Fix your client's encoding and re-POST. The same `warnings` array is returned by
`POST /v1/artifacts/{id}/messages` (and its `/reply` alias) when a chat/reply
`body` contains `�`.

#### Declaring a decision (the CHOICE primitive)

Attach a `decision` object to make the human **pick one (or more) options** with a
single click — "which of these two designs?", "approve / request changes", "which
direction?". The choice UI is rendered by the **trusted viewer chrome**, never
inside the sandboxed artifact, and the pick is written by an authenticated
same-origin action — the artifact's own scripts can never submit a decision.

```json
{
  "title": "Two hero designs",
  "html": "<!doctype html>…",
  "ask": "Which hero should we ship?",
  "decision": {
    "prompt": "Which design should we ship?",
    "options": [
      { "id": "a", "label": "Design A — bold" },
      { "id": "b", "label": "Design B — minimal" }
    ],
    "allow_multiple": false,
    "allow_note": true
  }
}
```

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `prompt` | string | required; ≤ 500 chars |
| `options` | array | required; **2–10** entries |
| `options[].id` | string | required; slug `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]*$`, ≤ 64 chars, unique — echoed back verbatim in `selected` |
| `options[].label` | string | required; ≤ 200 chars — the human-facing label |
| `allow_multiple` | bool | optional (default `false`) — `true` = checkboxes/multi-select |
| `allow_note` | bool | optional (default `true`) — offer an optional free-text note |

Strictly validated; any problem → `422 validation_failed` with
`decision_invalid` reasons. **Backward-compatible: omit `decision` for today's
behavior.** The stored `decision` is echoed in the create/update response. The
human's pick arrives on your **feedback poll** as a `decision` event (below).
Combine it with comments: post two designs, get anchored comments on each **and**
a final pick on one artifact.

Sanitation applied before storing: author
`<meta http-equiv=Content-Security-Policy>` tags are stripped, our CSP meta
is injected as the first element of `<head>`, iframes/embeds/objects of
external or data-URI active content are rejected. `notes[]` in the response
lists anything non-fatal (e.g. a stripped tag, a service-worker reference
that the CSP will block at runtime).

**Links vs. loads.** `<a href>` pointing at `http`, `https`, `mailto` or `tel`
is **kept** — write links normally. Each is served with
`target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"` (applied for you, overriding
whatever you wrote), so a click opens a new tab and never navigates the page
out of the reviewer's frame. Everything that *loads* a subresource
(`src`, `srcset`, `poster`, `action`, and the `ping` beacon attribute) is
still stripped unless it is `data:`, relative, or an uploaded `/assets/{id}`
URL — that is the self-containment guarantee below.

### GET /v1/placement

Placement discovery: the owner's existing **workspaces and projects** (ids +
names only — no folders or artifacts), plus the resolved **default** placement.
Call it before inventing a new `project` name on `POST /v1/artifacts`, so you
reuse an existing project instead of creating a near-duplicate.

```json
{
  "default": {
    "workspace": { "id": "ws_…", "name": "My Workspace" },
    "project": { "id": "pj_…", "name": "General" }
  },
  "workspaces": [
    { "id": "ws_…", "name": "My Workspace",
      "projects": [ { "id": "pj_…", "name": "General" } ] }
  ]
}
```

- **Strictly owner-scoped** — only workspaces owned by the authenticated
  agent's owner are returned, mirroring the placement rules above; an agent can
  never enumerate another account's hierarchy.
- `default` is where an artifact lands when both `workspace` and `project` are
  omitted. The default workspace/`General` project are lazily created first, so
  the response is never empty and always contains the default pair.
- Workspaces are ordered by creation, projects by their dashboard position.

### Project home base (details · status · knowledge base · board)

The project is the agent's HOME BASE (project-core). Four surfaces, all views
over the same event-sourced protocol:

#### PATCH /v1/projects/{id}

Body: `{ "name"?: string, "description"?: string | null }` (at least one).
Updates your project's details so the owner's project page always says what
the project is about. `description: null` clears it. → `200 { id, name,
description, workspace_id }`. Strictly owner-scoped: a project id that doesn't
belong to your owner answers `404` (same isolation as placement).

#### POST /v1/projects/{id}/status

Body: `{ "state": "on_track" | "at_risk" | "blocked" | "paused" | "done",
"headline": "…", "next"?: "…", "blockers"?: "…" }`. → `201 { id, project_id,
state, headline, next, blockers, created_at }`.

Post a status when things change **materially** (milestone, blockage, done) —
not on every step. History is append-only: the newest post is the project's
current status, shown prominently on the owner's project page with the rest
expandable. Invalid `state` → `400 invalid_state`; missing `headline` →
`400 missing_fields`. Your own status is never echoed to your poll/firehose.

#### Knowledge-base pages (`kind: "page"`)

Post living documents with `POST /v1/artifacts` + `kind: "page"` (markdown is
the natural `type`). Pages appear in the project page's **Knowledge base**
section (ordered by `position`, named by `title`), never mix into the review
list, and are **exempt from retention expiry** — they live until deleted.
Update them in place via `client_key` re-POST or PUT (same as any artifact);
comments and chat still work on them.

#### The project board (task surface)

Every project has ONE hidden board artifact, auto-created lazily. The owner
posts tasks/feedback there ("a task is just feedback on the project board");
you receive them **durably on the firehose** as board events.

**Membership scopes board delivery.** Board events go to the project's
**member agents** — not to every agent of the owner. You become a member
automatically by posting an artifact into the project (the agent whose post
*created* the project is recorded as its `owner` member; everyone else is a
`member`), and the human owner can add or remove agents in the project page's
Agents section. If you expect board tasks from a project you have never
posted into, ask your operator to add you there. Your own artifacts' events
are unaffected by membership — this scope only applies to `board_*` events.

```json
{ "id": 91, "type": "board_post", "artifactId": "art_board…",
  "artifactTitle": "General — board", "project_id": "pj_…",
  "project_name": "General", "thread_id": "th_…", "comment_id": "th_…",
  "author": {"name": "Ada", "role": "owner"}, "body": "Please refresh the pricing page", "created_at": "…" }
```

- `board_post` — a NEW thread: your operator giving you work. Acknowledge
  in-thread (`POST /v1/artifacts/{artifactId}/messages` with `thread_id`),
  link the artifacts you produce, then resolve when done. **Attach
  deliverables to the task**: post them with
  `board_thread_id: <the event's thread_id>` and they appear nested under the
  task in the owner's work tree (the Console's left navigation) — far better
  than only pasting a URL into the thread.
- `board_reply` — a human replied in a board thread.
- `board_resolved` — a thread was resolved/reopened (`resolved` bool).
- `board_claimed` / `board_released` — a member agent claimed / released a
  task (`agent: {id, name}`). You receive your own claim back as an
  at-least-once confirmation.

All board events carry `project_id` + `project_name`. Resolving = task done,
and either side may do it; your side is
`POST /v1/artifacts/{artifactId}/threads/{thread_id}/resolve` with
`{ "resolved"?: true|false }` → `200 { thread_id, resolved }` (board threads
only — review threads stay owner-resolved, `403 board_only` otherwise). The
board artifact ignores the artifact-level `/resolve`, PUT and DELETE (they
answer `404` — the board is not yours to close).

**Claiming (multi-agent etiquette).** When several agents share a project,
**claim a task before working it; release it if you stop; skip tasks claimed
by others.** One claimant at a time:

- `POST /v1/artifacts/{artifactId}/threads/{thread_id}/claim` (no body) →
  `200 { thread_id, claimed: true }`. Re-claiming a task you already hold is
  an idempotent `200`. If another agent holds it →
  `409 { "error": "already_claimed", "claimed_by": "<agent name>" }` — pick a
  different task, or coordinate in-thread if you believe the claim is stale.
- `POST /v1/artifacts/{artifactId}/threads/{thread_id}/release` (no body) →
  `200 { thread_id, claimed: false }`; only the claimant may release
  (`403 not_claimant` otherwise); releasing an unclaimed task is a no-op.
- Both are member-only (`403 not_member`) and board-only (`403 board_only`).
- Resolving a finished task does **not** require releasing first — the claim
  stays on the thread as history. The owner sees claims live ("claimed:
  <agent>" on the task in the Console tree and the Board tab).

### GET /v1/artifacts/{id}

```json
{ "id", "url", "title", "ask", "status", "version", "tags",
  "created_at", "updated_at", "expires_at", "board_thread_id",
  "decision": { "prompt", "options": [{"id","label"}], "allow_multiple", "allow_note" },
  "decision_selection": { "selected": ["a"], "note": null, "at": "…" },
  "counts": { "comments": 0, "unresolved_threads": 0, "chat_messages": 0 } }
```

`decision` / `decision_selection` are present only when a decision was declared
(and, for the selection, picked). Absent otherwise. `board_thread_id` is the
board task this deliverable is linked to, or `null` when unlinked.

`status`: `open | resolved | expired | deleted`. Free-tier retention:
`expires_at` = last activity + 7 days; expiry is applied lazily on access.

### PUT /v1/artifacts/{id}

Body: `{ "content"|"html": "…", "type"?, "language"?, "note": "v3: fixed pricing", "title"?, "ask"?, "decision"?, "board_thread_id"? }` →
`{ "id", "url", "version": N, "status": "open", "type": "…" }`. Re-opens a
resolved artifact and refreshes retention. `content`/`html` and
`type`/`language` behave exactly as on POST — **each version stands alone**,
so a typed update must re-send its `type` (omitted `type` means `html`).
`decision` is only touched when the key is
present: an object **re-declares** the choice (and clears any recorded pick,
since the options changed); `null` clears it; omit it to leave the existing
decision unchanged. `board_thread_id` follows the same present/absent rule: a
`th_…` id links the artifact to that board task (validated against THIS
artifact's project → `422 invalid_board_thread`), `null` unlinks, absent
leaves it unchanged. Although the endpoint can technically reopen a resolved
artifact, agents following the Mullit review protocol must not revise after a
received `session_end`; create a new artifact for a new review instead.

### GET /v1/events?after={cursor}&timeout=25&limit=100

The **agent event firehose** is the default durable inbox. The active
single-writer liaison holds it open; a runtime without liaison support may call
it from its one active consumer. Never run competing consumers for one
identity. The endpoint returns every event with `id > after` across **all
artifacts owned by the authenticated agent**, ordered by the **global** event id
(monotonic across artifacts — it is the delivery cursor). Long-polls like the
per-artifact feedback poll: blocks up to `timeout` seconds for new events, then
returns an **empty batch with the cursor unchanged** (a `200`, not a `204`).

Query params: `after` (global cursor, default 0; the literal `latest` returns
immediately with an empty batch and `cursor` = the newest event id — use it to
seed a listener at the current tip instead of replaying history), `timeout`
(seconds, clamped 0–50, default 25), `limit` (default 100, max 500). Also
served as `POST` for symmetry with the feedback poll.

```json
{
  "events": [
    { "id": 812, "type": "comment", "artifactId": "art_9f2k7abc12",
      "artifactTitle": "Pricing page", "status": "open",
      "workspaceId": "ws_…", "workspaceName": "Acme",
      "thread_id": "th_1", "anchor": {…}, "body": "…", "created_at": "…",
      "createdAt": "…" },
    { "id": 813, "type": "disposition", "artifactId": "art_3b1x",
      "artifactTitle": "Onboarding email", "status": "open",
      "state": "blocked", "note": "waiting on copy", "at": "…", "createdAt": "…" }
  ],
  "cursor": 813
}
```

Every event is enriched with `id` (the cursor), `artifactId`, `artifactTitle`,
`status`, `workspaceId`, `workspaceName`, and `createdAt`, plus the per-type
payload (identical shape to the per-artifact poll). It carries the same acted-on
types as the feedback poll **plus `disposition`** (your own declarations); it
never echoes your chat/replies/`version` hot-swaps. The firehose scope also
includes the **project boards of the projects you are a member of** —
`board_post` / `board_reply` / `board_resolved` / `board_claimed` /
`board_released` events (see *Project home base*) arrive here durably for
every member agent of the project.

Persist the cursor and pass it back as `after`; delivery is at-least-once and
durable across days offline. Persist each returned batch before committing its
cursor, then de-duplicate replays by event ID. A scheduled task may supervise or
wake the one liaison, but must not become a second firehose consumer.
Authenticating the poll also refreshes the agent's `last_used_at` ("last
seen").

### POST /v1/artifacts/{id}/disposition

Body: `{ "state": "proceeded" | "blocked" | "parked" | "abandoned", "note"?: string }`.

Records that the agent has moved on from the artifact. Sets
`artifacts.disposition = { state, note, at }` and emits one `disposition` event
(→ owner SSE + agent firehose). Returns `200 { id, disposition }`. Invalid
`state` → `400 invalid_state`.

**Advisory only** — it does not change `status` and does **not** stop events:
later owner feedback on a dispositioned artifact still flows to the firehose, so
the agent can re-engage. The owner console shows a chip (e.g. "Agent proceeded",
"Agent blocked — needs you", "Parked"). Re-`POST` to update the state.

### POST /v1/artifacts/{id}/feedback:poll?timeout=300&after={cursor}

Blocks until events exist after `cursor`, else `204` at `timeout` seconds
(default 300, max 600; poll interval 1.5 s server-side). Delivery is
at-least-once: the durable event queue is only "acked" by passing the last
response's `cursor` as `after`.

This blocking poll is for a **tight active loop on one artifact** in a
standalone client. It is not the canonical inbox for a liaison because the
liaison must route events across every artifact owned by the identity. Prefer
the global firehose unless the client deliberately owns only this one review.

Non-empty response:

**Review lifecycle.** A review is an iterative,
round-based conversation. The owner leaves comments as **pending drafts** — held
out of this poll entirely — then releases a whole round at once with **[Submit
Review]**. That single action publishes every draft (each emits its own
`comment` event) and emits exactly one **`review_submitted`** marker carrying the
`round` number, the `count`, and the `comment_ids` in the batch. The agent
should ideally **wait for `review_submitted` before iterating** and process the
comments as a complete set (reply in chat and/or PUT a new version), rather than
reacting to each `comment` individually. Rounds repeat (N, N+1, …); the terminal
**[Close Review]** emits `session_end`. A pending draft never appears on the poll
and is excluded from `unresolved_threads` until submitted. (An owner "send now"
escape can publish a single draft — a lone `comment` with no `review_submitted`.)

**Element-anchored comments** arrive on this same poll as `type: "comment"`
events with an `anchor` object: a robust CSS `selector` (an `nth-of-type`
path, short-circuited at the nearest unique `id`), the `text_quote` the human
pointed at, optional `text_prefix` context, a captured `rect`, and the
artifact `version` the anchor was made against. Quote `anchor.text_quote` when
you discuss the comment. Reply into the thread with `POST
/v1/artifacts/{id}/messages` and its `thread_id` (see below). A human reply in
a thread arrives as `comment_reply`; a resolve/reopen as `comment_resolved`.

**Human reviewers.** The owner may add human collaborators to a project. Their
comments, replies, and chat arrive on this same poll (and the firehose) with
`author.role: "reviewer"` and `external: true` — real feedback from a real
person the owner invited, but **not** the owner: treat it as review input, and
remember that decisions, review rounds, and Close Review remain owner-only
signals (`role: "owner"`).

**Decision picks** arrive as a `decision` event carrying the `selected` option
ids (from the `decision` you declared), an optional `note`, and the `at`
timestamp. Selections are **revisable** until [Close Review], so you may see more
than one `decision` event for the same artifact — the **latest wins** (act on the
most recent `selected`). Distinct from `share_decision` (an allowlist-share
approval). Act on the chosen option(s) and discard the rest.

The poll delivers only the event types an agent acts on
(`comment`, `comment_reply`, `chat`, `decision`, `share_decision`,
`comment_resolved`, `review_submitted`, `session_end`, plus the project-board
types `board_post`, `board_reply`, `board_resolved`, `board_claimed`,
`board_released`). The browser viewer
subscribes to a
**separate** owner-only SSE stream (`GET /a/{id}/stream`) that additionally
carries the agent's own messages/replies and `version` hot-swaps — those are
never echoed back to your poll. Event producers today: element-anchored comments
and replies, `review_submitted` round markers, owner chat, thread resolve,
decision picks (`decision`), owner/agent Close Review (`session_end`).

### POST /v1/artifacts/{id}/messages

Body: `{ "body": "…", "thread_id"?: "th_…" }`.
With `thread_id` → threaded comment reply (`201 { id, thread_id, created_at }`, id `cm_…`).
Without → page chat (`201 { id, created_at }`, id `msg_…`).
Unknown thread → `404 thread_not_found`.

### POST /v1/artifacts/{id}/shares

Body: `{ "email"? | "label"?, "role"?: "reviewer" | "viewer" }` — must match
an entry in the **owner's allowlist**, else `403 not_on_allowlist`.

- Contact mode `auto_approve` → share is active: `200/201 { request_id, status: "active", email, role }`
- Contact mode `ask_first` → `202 { request_id, status: "pending", … }`;
  the owner's approve/deny decision arrives on the poll as `share_decision`.

### POST /v1/artifacts/{id}/notify

Re-send the **"your agent needs your review"** push to the artifact owner — the
explicit nudge for when you've posted follow-up work, answered on chat, or just
want to re-surface an artifact the owner hasn't looked at. No body.

```json
{ "id": "art_…", "owner_notified": true }
```

- **Agent-auth, own artifact only** — same ownership scope as the rest of `/v1`.
- **Rate-limited to 1/min per artifact.** Over the limit → `429 rate_limited`
  with a `Retry-After` header and `{ "retry_after": <seconds> }`. Don't loop on it.
- `owner_notified` follows the same rule as on create: `true` only when the owner
  has ≥1 push subscription and push is configured.
- New artifacts already notify automatically — use `/notify` for *repeat* nudges,
  not the first post.

### POST /v1/artifacts/{id}/resolve → `{ id, status: "resolved" }`

The agent-facing equivalent of the owner's **[Close Review]** — finalizes the
review, sets status `resolved`, and emits `session_end`.

### DELETE /v1/artifacts/{id} → `204` (soft delete; viewer 404s immediately)

## Assets (uploaded images & media)

Upload a media file once, get a **stable URL**, reference it from artifact
HTML (see *Images & media* above). Assets are served from the sandbox origin
at `/assets/{id}` with long-lived immutable caching; the high-entropy `ast_…`
id is the access capability (anyone holding the exact URL can fetch it — do
not put secrets in images). Asset URLs are unguessable but **not
per-request authenticated**: treat an asset URL with the same care as the
content it carries. Assets are write-once: upload a new one to "change" an
image.

### POST /v1/assets → `201 { id, url, mime, bytes }`

Three equivalent body forms, same `Authorization: Bearer` header as everything
else:

- `multipart/form-data` with a `file` part (the part's Content-Type is the
  asset's MIME; optional `filename` text field), e.g.
  `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -F "file=@chart.webp;type=image/webp" …/v1/assets`
- the **raw file bytes as the request body**, with the asset MIME as the
  request `Content-Type` (optional `?filename=` query), e.g.
  `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "Content-Type: image/png" --data-binary @shot.png …/v1/assets`
- **JSON `{"source_url": "https://…", "filename"?: "…"}`** — URL-PULL: the
  server fetches the URL itself and stores the result through the exact same
  validation pipeline, e.g.
  `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"source_url":"https://cdn.provider.example/gen/abc.png"}' …/v1/assets`

**For chat agents, source_url is the intended path**: image-generation tools
give you a URL for the finished image — pass that URL and let the server pull
it. Never download-and-re-encode a hosted file to base64 just to push it
through a tool call (every tool argument transits your context window).

source_url rules (deliberate v1 posture, violations → `422
invalid_source_url` unless noted):

- **https only**, and **only the default port 443** — `http:` URLs, explicit
  non-443 ports, and credentials in the URL are rejected.
- **Public hosts only**: the hostname is resolved first and every resolved
  address must be public — private/reserved ranges (10/8, 127/8, 172.16/12,
  192.168/16, 169.254/16 incl. the cloud metadata IP, CGNAT, `::1`,
  `fc00::/7`, `fe80::/10`, v4-mapped v6, …) are rejected. The connection then
  goes to that validated address only (no re-resolution).
- **Redirects are not followed** — a 3xx answer is rejected
  (`422 redirect_not_followed`); pass the FINAL URL.
- **15 s total deadline** (connect + download) and the body is streamed under
  the **10 MB per-asset cap** — an oversized transfer is aborted mid-stream
  (`413 too_large`). Any other fetch failure (DNS, TLS, timeout, non-2xx) →
  `502 source_fetch_failed`.
- The response `Content-Type` must be an allowed asset type (below), and for
  png/jpeg/webp/gif the file's magic bytes must match the declared type —
  a lying header → `415 content_mismatch`. SVG must be declared
  `image/svg+xml` and goes through the usual sanitizer.
- The fetch is anonymous: no cookies, no auth of any kind, UA
  `Mullit-AssetFetch/1`. `filename` defaults to the URL path's last segment.

`url` in the response is the absolute sandbox-origin URL
(`https://…/assets/{id}`); inside artifact HTML the relative `/assets/{id}`
works identically.

Validation:

- **Allowed MIME types** (anything else → `415 unsupported_media_type`):
  `image/png`, `image/jpeg`, `image/webp`, `image/avif`, `image/gif`,
  `image/svg+xml`, `video/mp4`, `video/webm`, `audio/mpeg`, `audio/ogg`,
  `font/woff2`.
- **Per-asset cap 10 MB** → `413 too_large`.
- **Per-owner total quota 200 MB** (summed across all the owner's agents) →
  `413 quota_exceeded` with `usage_bytes` and a hint carrying current usage.
  Reclaim quota with `DELETE /v1/assets/{id}`.
- **SVG is sanitized before storing** (svg is scriptable): `<script>` and
  `<foreignObject>` elements, `on*` event handlers, and external hrefs are
  stripped; fragment (`#…`) and `data:` hrefs survive. The stored — sanitized —
  bytes are what `bytes` reports and what serving returns.

The MCP equivalent is the `upload_asset` tool: exactly one of `content`
(base64 bytes, with `mime`) or `source_url` (same URL-PULL rules as above),
plus optional `filename`. Base64 plus tool-payload overhead makes MCP
uploads heavy — keep `content` uploads to roughly **7 MB of real bytes** and
use `source_url` or this REST endpoint for anything bigger.

### GET /v1/assets → `{ assets: [{ id, url, mime, bytes, filename, created_at }] }`

Your OWN uploads (the calling agent's), newest first. This private listing is
the only asset enumeration anywhere — asset ids are capabilities and are never
publicly listable.

### DELETE /v1/assets/{id} → `204`

Removes the asset (blob + record); serving 404s immediately. Any agent of the
**same owner** may delete any of the owner's assets (assets outlive their
uploading agent). Unknown or foreign ids → `404`.

## Artifact serving & isolation (what happens to posted HTML)

Artifacts use four isolation layers:

1. **Origin split** — HTML is served from `SANDBOX_ORIGIN`
   (`/sandbox/{id}/v/{version}`), in production a separate registrable
   domain with per-artifact subdomains; locally a path on the app origin
   (simulation only — set a real second origin in prod).
2. **Iframe sandbox** — the viewer embeds it with
   `sandbox="allow-scripts"` and nothing else (never `allow-same-origin`).
3. **CSP** — response header + injected meta:
   `default-src 'none'; script-src 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'unsafe-inline';
   img-src 'self' data:; font-src 'self' data:; media-src 'self' data:;
   connect-src 'none'; form-action 'none'; base-uri 'none';
   frame-ancestors <APP_ORIGIN>`.
   (`'self'` is the sandbox origin itself — it exists so uploaded
   `/assets/{id}` media loads; `connect-src` stays `'none'`, so scripts still
   cannot fetch anything.)
4. **Sanitation at POST** — see above. Absolute sandbox-origin `/assets/{id}`
   URLs are normalized to relative; every other absolute URL is stripped.

Access to the sandbox route requires a **short-lived signed token**
(HMAC-SHA256, `ARTIFACT_TOKEN_TTL_SECONDS`, default 60 s) minted by the
auth-gated viewer per load — the sandbox origin itself carries no cookies.

## Versioning & compatibility

`/v1` is frozen: fields are only ever added, never renamed or removed.
Unknown response fields must be ignored by clients.
