# The daemon's HTTP control API — what `spinloop daemon` always exposes, and what
# `spinloop serve --api` exposes alongside a foreground engine.
#
# This file is checked against the implementation by
# internal/daemon/openapi_test.go: the routes here must match the ones the
# handler registers, and each schema's properties must match the JSON tags of
# the Go struct it describes. The test compares names, not types — where the two
# could still disagree, the Go code is the source of truth.
#
# Prose on the behaviour a schema cannot express lives in docs/http-api.md.

  title: spinloop daemon control API
  summary: Supervise and observe a local inference engine.
  description: |
    The control API drives one supervised inference engine: start it, stop it,
    ask what it is doing, and set what it serves next.

     It listens on `:4242` by default (`--api-addr` overrides; on the daemon,
     `--loopback` binds `127.0.0.1:4242`). A non-loopback
     listen with no bearer token configured refuses to start, since the API can
     start and stop processes; a loopback listen may go tokenless.

    Under `spinloop daemon` nothing runs until a start request asks, and stopping
    the engine never ends the daemon — the API keeps answering. Under
    `spinloop serve --api` the engine is foreground-managed, so start always
    fails as already-running and stopping the engine ends serve itself.

        The supervised engine's stdout and stderr, as captured to the file

        crashed — the last of which is when it is wanted most.

        Reads are always bounded. Omit `offset` to read the **end** of the log;
        pass the `nextOffset` from a previous reply to receive only what has
        been appended since, which makes following exact — no overlap window

                It is never returned. No reply, error, or log line produced by
                this API contains it, and the daemon passes it to the engine

            it does not apply: no engine is running, the running engine's

        purpose: the daemon knows its engine binds `127.0.0.1:8080`, which is
        useless to anyone else, and it cannot know the name a client reaches
        this host by — a LAN name, a tailscale name, a published container
        port. The caller composes these against the host it already has. A node
        that does know that name — a cloud environment, whose control plane
        publishes the instance's address — reports it in `host`.

        requiresKey:

          description: |
            The engine was started with an API key, so a caller needs one. The
            key itself is never reported under any endpoint: authorisation to

            (llama.cpp's, today): a missing figure is not a zero, it is a
            counter the engine never produced.

        One retained reading of the host's figures, as the bar format plots
        it: a 0-100% figure per series rather than the raw one. The field
        names are one letter each because the readings ride the remote relay
        over SSM, whose command output truncates at 4KB — forty samples of
        the window must fit that budget alongside the current reading.

            flag at start time — llamacpp's ctx-size is scaled by this value,
            since llama.cpp divides that budget across its parallel slots;
            vllm's context is left unscaled, since its concurrency is bounded
            independently via max-num-seqs.

            The spinloop release the environment's instances install at boot.
            Empty or absent means the boot installs the latest published
            release. A pin is normalised before it is sent — the leading v
            of a release tag is not part of the version (1.26.1, not
            v1.26.1). The environment's control plane reads it when it
            renders the boot script; the daemon does not act on it.

            the deployment: the environment's control plane reads it when it
            launches a fresh instance; a re-wake of a stopped instance keeps
            the type it launched with. The daemon does not act on it.

        missing:
          type: boolean
          description: |
            There is no log file: no engine has ever run here, or the daemon
            forwards engine output to its own stdio. Distinct from a log that
            exists and is empty.
        staleOffset:
          type: boolean
          description: |
            The requested `offset` is past the end of the log — it was truncated
            or replaced — so resume from `nextOffset` rather than waiting for a
            position that will never arrive.
