feat: API catalog surface, protocol v2 tooling, MCP expansion, on+re update
## Summary
Session 2026-03-23. Closes the loop between handler code and discoverability
across all three surfaces (browser, CLI, MCP agent) via compile-time inventory
registration. Adds protocol v2 update tooling, extends MCP from 21 to 29 tools,
and brings the self-description up to date.
## API Catalog Surface (#[onto_api] proc-macro)
- crates/ontoref-derive: new proc-macro crate; `#[onto_api(method, path,
description, auth, actors, params, tags)]` emits `inventory::submit!(ApiRouteEntry{...})`
at link time
- crates/ontoref-daemon/src/api_catalog.rs: `catalog()` — pure fn over
`inventory::iter::<ApiRouteEntry>()`, zero runtime allocation
- GET /api/catalog: returns full annotated HTTP surface as JSON
- templates/pages/api_catalog.html: new page with client-side filtering by
method, auth, path/description; detail panel per route (params table,
feature flag); linked from dashboard card and nav
- UI nav: "API" link (</> icon) added to mobile dropdown and desktop bar
- inventory = "0.3" added to workspace.dependencies (MIT, zero transitive deps)
## Protocol Update Mode
- reflection/modes/update_ontoref.ncl: 9-step DAG (5 detect parallel, 2 update
idempotent, 2 validate, 1 report) — brings any project from protocol v1 to v2
by adding manifest.ncl and connections.ncl if absent, scanning ADRs for
deprecated check_hint, validating with nickel export
- reflection/templates/update-ontology-prompt.md: 8-phase reusable prompt for
agent-driven ontology enrichment (infrastructure → audit → core.ncl →
state.ncl → manifest.ncl → connections.ncl → ADR migration → validation)
## CLI — describe group extensions
- reflection/bin/ontoref.nu: `describe diff [--fmt] [--file]` and
`describe api [--actor] [--tag] [--auth] [--fmt]` registered as canonical
subcommands with log-action; aliases `df` and `da` added; QUICK REFERENCE
and ALIASES sections updated
## MCP — two new tools (21 → 29 total)
- ontoref_api_catalog: filters catalog() output by actor/tag/auth; returns
{ routes, total } — no HTTP roundtrip, calls inventory directly
- ontoref_file_versions: reads ProjectContext.file_versions DashMap per slug;
returns BTreeMap<filename, u64> reload counters
- insert_mcp_ctx: audited and updated from 15 to 28 entries in 6 groups
- HelpTool JSON: 8 new entries (validate_adrs, validate, impact, guides,
bookmark_list, bookmark_add, api_catalog, file_versions)
- ServerHandler::get_info instructions updated to mention new tools
## Web UI — dashboard additions
- Dashboard: "API Catalog" card (9th); "Ontology File Versions" section showing
per-file reload counters from file_versions DashMap
- dashboard_mp: builds BTreeMap<String, u64> from ctx.file_versions and injects
into Tera context
## on+re update
- .ontology/core.ncl: describe-query-layer and adopt-ontoref-tooling descriptions
updated; ontoref-daemon updated ("11 pages", "29 tools", API catalog,
per-file versioning, #[onto_api]); new node api-catalog-surface (Yang/Practice)
with 3 edges; artifact_paths extended across 3 nodes
- .ontology/state.ncl: protocol-maturity blocker updated (protocol v2 complete);
self-description-coverage catalyst updated with session 2026-03-23 additions
- ADR-007: "API Surface Discoverability via #[onto_api] Proc-Macro" — Accepted
## Documentation
- README.md: crates table updated (11 pages, 29 MCP tools, ontoref-derive row);
MCP representative table expanded; API Catalog, Semantic Diff, Per-File
Versioning paragraphs added; update_ontoref onboarding section added
- CHANGELOG.md: [Unreleased] section with 4 change groups
- assets/web/src/index.html: tool counts 19→29 (EN+ES), page counts 12→11
(EN+ES), daemon description paragraph updated with API catalog + #[onto_api]

feat: #[onto_mcp_tool] catalog, OCI credential vault layer, validate ADR-018 mode hierarchy
ontoref-derive: #[onto_mcp_tool] attribute macro registers MCP tool unit-structs in
the catalog at link time via inventory::submit!; annotated item is emitted unchanged,
ToolBase/AsyncTool impls stay on the struct. All 34 tools migrated from manual wiring
(net +5: ontoref_list_projects, ontoref_search, ontoref_describe,
ontoref_list_ontology_extensions, ontoref_get_ontology_extension).
validate modes (ADR-018): reads level_hierarchy from workflow.ncl and checks every
.ncl mode for level declared, strategy declared, delegate chain coherent, compose
extends valid. mode resolve <id> shows which hierarchy level handles a mode and why.
--self-test generates synthetic fixtures in a temp dir for CI smoke-testing.
validate run-cargo: two-step Cargo.toml resolution — workspace layout first
(crates/<check.crate>/Cargo.toml), single-crate fallback by package name or repo
basename. Lets the same ADR constraint shape apply to workspace and single-crate repos.
ontology/schemas/manifest.ncl: registry_topology_type contract — multi-registry
coordination, push targets, participant scopes, per-namespace capability.
reflection/requirements/base.ncl: oras ≥1.2.0, cosign ≥2.0.0, sops ≥3.9.0, age
≥1.1.0, restic declared as Hard/Soft requirements with version_min, check_cmd, and
install_hint (ADR-017 toolchain surface).
ADR-019: per-file recipient routing for tenant isolation without multi-vault. Schema
additions: sops.recipient_groups + sops.recipient_rules in ontoref-project.ncl.
secrets-bootstrap generates .sops.yaml from project.ncl in declarative mode. Three
new secrets-audit checks: recipient-routing-coherent, recipient-routing-coverage,
no-multi-vault. Adoption templates: single-team/, multi-tenant/, agent-first/.
Integration templates: domain-producer/, mode-producer/, mode-consumer/.
UI: project_picker surfaces registry badge (⟳ participant) and vault badge
(⛁ vault_id · N, green=declarative / amber=legacy) per project card. Expanded panel
adds collapsible Registry section with namespace, endpoint, and push/pull capability.
manage.html gains Runtime Services card — MCP and GraphQL toggleable without restart
via HTMX POST /ui/manage/services/{service}/toggle.
describe.nu: capabilities JSON includes registry_topology and vault_state per project.
sync.nu: drift check extended to detect //! absence on newly registered crates.
qa.ncl: six entries — credential-vault-best-practice (layered data-flow diagram),
credential-vault-templates (paths A/B/C), credential-vault-troubleshooting (15 named
errors), integration-what-and-why (ADR-042 OCI federation), integration-how-to-implement,
integration-troubleshooting.
on+re: core.ncl + manifest.ncl updated to reflect OCI, MCP, and mode-hierarchy nodes.
Deleted stale presentation assets (2026-02 slides + voice notes).
