 # WHOOSH API Specification
 ## Autonomous AI Development Teams API

+Auth & Scope Revision (MVP)
+- Humans: authenticate via Gitea OIDC; WHOOSH should not issue long-lived user JWTs. Maintain short-lived sessions or signed service tokens as needed.
+- Agents/services: use scoped service tokens (PAT-like), revocable, with minimal permissions.
+- MVP endpoints: focus on tasks intake (from Gitea), team state, PR linkage/status, and a proxy for SLURP submissions. WebSocket streams are read-only status.
+- Envelopes: include `version`, `schema_version`, and `request_id`. Enforce JSON Schema validation and size limits. References only (UCXL/CIDs), no large artefacts.
+- Rate limiting: per token and IP, with 429 + Retry-After. Idempotency keys for mutating endpoints.
+
 ### Overview

 This document defines the comprehensive API specification for WHOOSH's transformation into an Autonomous AI Development Teams orchestration platform. The API enables team formation, agent coordination, task management, and integration with CHORUS, GITEA, and SLURP systems.

 ## 🔐 Authentication

-### JWT Token Structure
-```json
-{
-  "sub": "user_id_or_agent_id",
-  "type": "user" | "agent" | "system",
-  "iat": 1625097600,
-  "exp": 1625184000,
-  "roles": ["admin", "team_lead", "agent", "viewer"],
-  "permissions": [
-    "teams.create",
-    "agents.manage",
-    "tasks.assign"
-  ],
-  "capabilities": ["security", "backend", "frontend"], // For agents
-  "agent_metadata": { // For agent tokens
-    "node_id": "12D3KooW...",
-    "hardware": {...},
-    "models": [...],
-    "specialization": "security_expert"
-  }
-}
-```
+Note: Prefer OIDC for humans; if JWTs are used, scope narrowly and keep short expiry. Agents should use service tokens bound to explicit scopes.
+
+### MVP Endpoints (v1)
+- POST `/api/v1/tasks/ingest` (internal, from webhook) – accept `bzzz-task` issue payloads

 # WHOOSH-CHORUS Integration Specification
 ## Autonomous Agent Self-Organization and P2P Collaboration

+Addendum (Terminology, Topics, MVP)
+- Terminology: all former “BZZZ” references are CHORUS; CHORUS runs dockerized (no systemd assumptions).
+- Topic naming: team channel root is `whoosh.team.<first16_of_sha256(normalize(@project:task))>` with optional `.control`, `.voting`, `.artefacts` (references only). Include UCXL address metadata.
+- Discovery: prefer webhook-driven discovery from WHOOSH (Gitea issues events), with polling fallback. Debounce duplicate applications across agents.
+- MVP toggle: single-agent executor mode (no team self-application) for `bzzz-task` issues is the default until channels stabilize; team application/commenting is feature-flagged.
+- Security: sign all control messages; maintain revocation lists in SLURP; reject unsigned/stale. Apply SHHH redaction before persistence and fan-out.

 # WHOOSH Transformation Development Plan
 ## Autonomous AI Development Teams Architecture

+Sanity Addendum (Go + MVP-first)
+- Backend in Go for consistency with CHORUS; HTTP/WS with chi/echo, JSON Schema validation, structured logs. Optional Team Composer as a separate Go service calling local Ollama endpoints (cloud models opt-in only).
+- Orchestration: Docker Swarm with nginx ingress; secrets via Swarm; SHHH scrubbing at API/WS ingress and before logging.
+- MVP-first scope: single-agent path acting on `bzzz-task` issues → PRs; WHOOSH provides minimal API + status views. Defer HMMM channels/consensus and full Composer until post-MVP.
+- Database: start with a minimal subset (teams, team_roles, team_assignments, agents-min, slurp_submissions-min). Defer broad ENUMs/materialized views and analytics until stable.
+- Determinism & safety: Validate all LLM outputs (when enabled) against versioned JSON Schemas; cache analyses with TTL; rate limit; apply path allowlists and diff caps; redact secrets.

 # WHOOSH Team Composer Specification
 ## LLM-Powered Autonomous Team Formation Engine

+MVP Scope and Constraints
+- Composer is optional in MVP: provide stubbed compositions (minimal_viable, balanced_standard). Full LLM analysis is post-MVP.
+- Local-first models via Ollama; cloud providers are opt-in and must be explicitly enabled. Enforce strict JSON Schema validation on all model outputs; cache by normalized task hash with TTL.
+- Limit outputs for determinism: cap team size and roles, remove chemistry analysis in v1, and require reproducible prompts with seeds where supported.
+- Security: redact sensitive data (SHHH) on all ingress/egress; do not log tokens or raw artefacts; references only (UCXL/CIDs).
+
