{"slug":"protocol-api-structure","title":"Protocol API Structure: REST Surface, Objects, and Phase Machine","body":"## What this article is\n\nThis document describes the live REST surface and phase machine for miscsubjects.com.  \nIt is system documentation, not a compound catalogue entry.\n\n## Who claims what\n\nThe build itself defines the contract.  \nGET /api/protocol returns the authoritative machine map.  \nAPI_QUICKMAP.md and PROTOCOL_SPEC.md are static mirrors of that contract.\n\n## What is known\n\nGET /api/protocol exposes the endpoint list, body schemas, and phase definitions.  \nTwo planes exist: /api/articles for CRUD and sub-resources, and /api/protocol for phase operations.  \n\nClaims live in article.meta.claims[]. Sources live in meta.sources[] with prev/hash chain. All writes are append-only.  \n\nPOST /api/protocol/draft validates tiers, optionally verifies source URLs, and hash-chains sources.  \nPOST /api/protocol/populate ingests sources into an article without rewriting the body.  \nPOST /api/protocol/collaborate lets Kimi or Gemini append 1–3 claims.  \nPOST /api/protocol/score recomputes claim.weight and applies status:cut when below threshold.  \nGET /api/protocol/next?role=writer hands out one open task atomically.  \nPOST /api/protocol/run executes one scheduler tick inside the 100-second request limit.  \nGET /api/matrix/gaps lists missing roots and cross cells. POST /api/matrix/seed fills from the canonical catalog.  \nWebhook POST /api/articles/{slug}/webhook accepts atomic appends of kind:claim|source|widget.\n\n## What we do not know\n\nNot every phase listed in PROTOCOL_SPEC.md has a deployed cron worker.  \nSome phases still require manual POST /api/protocol/grow or dispatch tools.  \nRate limits and per-tenant quotas on gateway model calls are environment-dependent and not shown in the public contract.\n\n## Limitations\n\nProtocol slugs are immutable. Hard DELETE is blocked. Corrections use PATCH status:retracted or new revisions.  \nEvery phase transition must finish inside Cloudflare’s ~100-second cap. Batch work uses grow batch or cron ticks.\n\n## Disclaimer\n\nThis API map is a research-ledger transport layer only. It grants no medical authority.","register":"technical","tags":["system","protocol","api"],"style":{},"claims":[{"id":"c_api_1","text":"GET /api/protocol returns the live machine contract — endpoint list, body schemas, and phase definitions;
