docs(coordination): restore the API-surface sections PR #2383 deleted from dev - #2421
Conversation
… from dev PR #2383 (card tsk-umwmif, "Agent coordination discipline doc") wrote a fresh 19-line discipline doc at docs/agent-coordination.md, a path that already held 628 lines. The diff was -630/+19 and it removed every agent-facing API-surface section: the scoped registry JWT surface, device bearer self-service, share destinations, scope requests, share routes, the project invite redeem route, device pair requests, the OS change-event stream, LoRA Studio routes, and config save/restore. The card asked for a doc to be added, not for that one to be replaced. Two things followed from it: - master still carries the API sections and dev does not, so the next dev to master promotion would have deleted them from master too. - the doc-gate "routes" rule requires an edit to this doc whenever a route module changes. On dev the doc no longer documented any route, so there was no honest edit that satisfied the rule, which is why seven open PRs have sat on a single doc-gate red since 2026-08-13. Restored from 533197b (dev's last state before the clobber) and folded in the content dev added afterwards: "Reading the bus", "The OS-native agent's identity", never-self-merge, block-instead-of-guess, the exec/ and test/ card branch convention, rebase-before-PR, and the shared-file rule. Dropped the stub's slimmer duplicates of discipline sections this doc already covered. Converted the 22 em dashes the old content carried. Layer A invariants pass, and proven non-vacuous: an injected bogus path token fails the same check.

Bind the signal to the verified process.
The command checks /proc/$pid/environ and then signals the numeric PID in a separate operation. If the process exits before kill, Linux can reuse the PID and the command can terminate an unrelated process. Use systemctl --user kill for unit-owned watchers or a pidfd-based helper. The post-signal liveness check does not remove this check/use race.

WARNING: Incorrect restore route documented
The route is listed as POST /api/settings/restore, but the actual handler in tinyagentos/routes/settings.py is mounted at /api/restore (line 307). A reader following this doc will call a non-existent endpoint.

Restoring a doc that sat deleted for three days reintroduces whatever drift
accumulated while it was gone. Kilo found one stale route by review; a sweep of
every /api/ path the doc cites against the routes actually declared in
tinyagentos/routes/*.py found that it was the only stale path out of 59, and
review caught three further inaccuracies worth fixing before this lands.
- decisions_write does NOT stop at POST /api/decisions. auth_middleware.py
allows the agent set too: POST /api/decisions/{id}/answer/agent,
GET /api/decisions/{id}/agent, GET /api/decisions/agent. The doc claimed
listing and answering were session-only, which understated what an agent
token reaches. The general routes are the session-only ones; the agent set is
a separate narrower allowlist keyed on the /agent suffix.
- a2a_send and a2a_receive are two separate allowlists, not one scope covering
four routes. Reads (channels, messages, stream) need a2a_receive; only
POST /api/a2a/bus/send needs a2a_send. As written, an a2a_receive token could
be pointed at a route it cannot use.
- GET /api/observatory/fleet is read-only; there is no POST. Spelled the four
observatory paths out individually so they grep.
- The restore handler is POST /api/restore, not POST /api/settings/restore,
even though it lives in routes/settings.py next to the /api/settings/* ones.
Called out explicitly, since the surprise is the reason the doc had it wrong.
Also added the check/use race to the kill-by-owner trap list: verifying
/proc/$pid/environ and then signalling the pid are two operations on a number,
and the process can exit in between. The section already prefers unique script
names, pidfiles and systemd MainPID, so this documents the residual race rather
than changing the advice.
Route sweep is scripted and repeatable: 59 cited paths, 809 declared, the only
unresolved token left is the deliberate "NOT /api/settings/restore" tombstone.

1.
masterstill has them,devdoes not.origin/mastercarries a 507-line version;origin/devcarries 83 lines. The commit is an ancestor ofdevand not ofmaster, so the nextdevtomasterpromotion would have carried the deletion ontomaster.2. It is the cause of the doc-gate backlog. The

Seven open PRs (#2405 #2409 #2410 #2411 #2412 #2415 #2417) have sat on one doc-gate red since 2026-08-13 for that reason.What this PR does
