docs(specs): split the external integrations spec into one file per topic - #3108
Conversation
…ection
The single 1000-line docs/specs/external-integrations.md was a constant
source of merge conflicts: every workstream (a new integration type, a
new capability, a contract change) edited the same file.
It is now a folder, docs/specs/external-integrations/, with one file per
section (a-architecture, b01-data-model … b20-image-cleanup,
c00-conventions … c08-js-sdk-api, verification) and a README.md entry
point carrying the living-spec rule, the context, the map of the spec,
the rules to extend it (a new type or capability = a new bNN file, never
a renumbering) and the repo ecosystem table.
Content is moved verbatim: section identifiers (A, B.x, C.x) are kept in
every heading so the existing cross-references — in the other specs, in
code comments and in the ecosystem repos — stay valid. Only the
self-references of the old single file ("Verification section", "end of
the spec") are rewritten, and the paths in AGENTS.md and in the specs
that pointed at the old file now point at the folder or at the file
owning the cited section.

…y number Numbered files (b21-…) would collide as soon as two branches add a topic in parallel, and a hand-maintained map in the README is one more shared edit point. The folder is now self-indexing: core/ (the framework), contracts/ (the v1 contracts) and capabilities/ (one self-contained file per integration type or capability, which also owns its own contract additions instead of appending rows to the shared tables). Historic section identifiers stay in the headings that have one; no new one is ever allocated, a new file is cited by its path.

Docs-only split of the living external-integrations spec into a self-indexing folder. I reconstructed the original docs/specs/external-integrations.md from the new files (heading levels restored, back-links stripped): body matches modulo the grouping heading B. Detailed design, the three intentional self-reference rewrites (Verification section → ../verification.md, end of the spec → ../README.md), the repo-ecosystem table moving into the README, and the two new one-line pointers in contracts/conventions.md and verification.md. Context is identical. Historic identifiers (A, B.1–B.18, B.20, C.1–C.8) are in the first heading of every file that had one. In-repo pointers (AGENTS.md, camera-ptz-control.md, water-heater.md, device-migration.md, integration-catalog-categories.md) no longer cite the deleted path, and the camera-ptz C.2 → C.3 correction for POST /discovered_device is right.
The follow-up commit (topic names, not bNN-) fully addresses the earlier B.19 / next-free-number collision: new workstreams add capabilities/<topic>.md and allocate no identifier. The leftover parenthetical “there is no B.19” is now only historical.
No runtime, constants, or integration-code change. No new DEVICE_FEATURE_* entries, no new internal third-party integration. Not risk:high. Author is the maintainer; no needs:human-review. CI is green (front/server/Cypress/Docker/codecov).
One non-blocking wording gap on the new “v1 core surface” pointer (inline): C.1/type and C.8 still carry shipped capability rows, so in-flight type PRs need an explicit exception or an extraction. Optional leftover from last round: a short stub at the old .md path (file and folder can coexist) would keep existing GitHub blob URLs from 404ing after merge.

| The files of this folder specify the **v1 core surface**. The contracts added by an integration type or a capability (its manifest field, its endpoints, its WebSocket messages, its SDK methods) are specified in the capability's own file under `../capabilities/` — the tables here only carry what shipped with the core. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The mergeability rule is the right fix for parallel workstreams, but this sentence overstates the current split.
C.1's type cell still lists "communication" and "weather", and C.8 still has the B.18 handlers (onWeatherGet, onWeatherGetImage, requestWeatherRefresh). Those are capability contracts that remain in the shared tables because this is a verbatim move — which is the right call for this PR, but it leaves the pointer and the tables out of sync.
In-flight type PRs (#2807 calendar, #2744 AI, #2746 TTS, #3099 energy-calendar) need a clear rule for the one closed enum they all touch:
- either C.1
type(and similar closed unions such as C.8's handler table) is the documented exception — new values still add a cell there, everything else stays incapabilities/<topic>.md; - or those shipped capability rows are extracted now so the tables really are v1-core-only, and a new type is cited only by path.
Without that carve-out, a rebase that follows the README literally will leave C.1's union stale while the indexer and server still validate a closed list. Non-blocking for this split; worth a one-line exception in this paragraph (or on the C.1 type row) so those rebases do not guess.

In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/capabilities/communication-type.md`:
- Line 21: Update the account-linking flow described around receive and POST
/api/integration/v1/contact/link so generated codes include the target
service_id, and validation rejects codes used by any other integration. Ensure
code consumption is atomic, use sufficient code entropy, and enforce rate limits
separately for each service while preserving the existing user_id binding and
TTL.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/capabilities/network-discovery.md`:
- Line 21: Update the network discovery scan specification for udp-broadcast,
mdns, and ssdp to define maximum record counts and aggregate response byte
sizes, including limits for payload_base64 and txt values. Specify whether
exceeding each limit truncates results or fails the request, and ensure the
behavior applies consistently to command-result and WebSocket responses.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/capabilities/weather-type.md`:
- Line 30: Update the normalized weather-alert contract and related
normalizeWeather and alertKey logic to preserve an optional provider-scoped
stable alert ID and use it for identity when available. Define a deterministic
fallback that distinguishes duplicate alerts without relying on optional or
mutable start/end values, and explicitly define the replacement behavior for
providers lacking stable IDs. Ensure alert diffing no longer overwrites records
or compares severity across distinct alerts.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/contracts/container-descriptor.md`:
- Around line 81-82: Update the container integration contract around
GLADYS_HOST_API_URL and GLADYS_INTEGRATION_TOKEN to require a protected host-API
transport: use authenticated TLS, or explicitly enforce a trusted local
transport boundary that prevents bearer-token observation. Preserve the
requirement that the URL is always read from GLADYS_HOST_API_URL rather than
hardcoded.
- Line 69: Update the container descriptor’s Ports/PortBindings contract to
enforce LAN-only exposure instead of binding published ports to 0.0.0.0. Bind
each declared port to an approved LAN address, or explicitly require an
equivalent Docker-aware firewall policy, while preserving Gladys-selected
host-port allocation and persistence.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/contracts/host-api-endpoints.md`:
- Around line 40-42: The supported_options contract is inconsistent between the
discovery rules and persistence description. Update the supported_options
validation and persistence wording so non-empty string values remain valid for
text/select features, while integer-only values apply only to enum-like
non-text/select features; keep duplicate detection treating integer values and
their string forms as equivalent.
- Around line 70-74: Update the location authorization flow around getHouses()
and externalIntegration.update.js so location access is persisted separately
from service.manifest and requires explicit admin approval when an update
introduces location: true. Preserve access for previously approved integrations
across manifest replacement, and deny coordinate access until the new grant is
recorded.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/contracts/management-api.md`:
- Line 13: Update the GET /api/v1/external_integration/store response contract
to include the re-hosted catalog asset fields cover_url and docs for each
integration, consistent with the indexer and manifest contracts; otherwise
document the existing fetch contract that supplies them.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/core/frontend.md`:
- Line 13: The frontend specification’s repo_url flow claims manifest resolution
and validation before showing the install screen, but the management API only
resolves it during installation. Align the “Install from GitHub” description
with the existing repo_url contract by removing the pre-install fetch/validation
disclosure and limiting that behavior to store installs, unless a separate
resolve/preview API is explicitly defined.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/core/integration-auth.md`:
- Around line 7-9: Align the integration JWT generator contract with the
authentication middleware by including the required `type: 'external'` claim
alongside `service_id` and `token_version`. Update the integration token
generation documentation and implementation symbols, including
`integrationToken.js`, so HTTP and WebSocket authentication accept generated
tokens without weakening the middleware check.
- Around line 7-8: Update the integration JWT design around integrationToken and
token_version to enforce a mandatory maximum token lifetime, either by adding an
exp claim with a supported refresh mechanism or by implementing a required
rotation interval independent of container recreation. Ensure validation rejects
tokens beyond that lifetime while preserving token_version revocation.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/core/management-api.md`:
- Line 8: Align the authorization policy for the store catalog and refresh
endpoints between the management API overview and its contract document. If the
contract’s admin-only policy is intended, update the standard-user entry to
remove GET /api/v1/external_integration/store and add coverage asserting
non-admin users receive 403; otherwise update the contract and associated
authorization tests to permit standard users consistently.
In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/core/store.md`:
- Line 29: Update the candidate-ordering specification to scope the
running-image fallback to dev installs only. Ensure store updates do not use the
local running image when remote pulls fail and instead return
UNABLE_TO_PULL_IMAGE, while preserving the existing fallback behavior for dev
installs.

| - **Proxy service**: exposes `message.send(contactId, message)` (the reply path, already generic — only exists if `receive: true`) and `message.sendToUser(user, message)` (the refactor loop above, identity resolution by the supervisor); relay over WS `external-integration.message.send { message_id, contact, message: { text, file } }` with the standard `command-result` ack (the `<domain>.<action>` convention of C.4 was designed for this). **`text` is Markdown**: the brain and the AI produce it, and the core cannot convert it on the channel's behalf — it knows neither Telegram's HTML subset, nor Discord's native Markdown, nor the fact that an SMS channel displays nothing. It is therefore up to each communication integration to render Markdown into its channel's format (see C.4). The `contact` field carries the resolved identity: `{ "id": "<contact_id>" }` for a code-linked channel (`receive: true`), or the **target user's `contact_schema` values** for a send-only channel (e.g. `{ "username": "...", "access_token": "..." }`) — user without a configured identity → silent no-op, exactly the semantics of the `sendToUser` loop. | ||
| - **Inbound (`receive: true` only)**: `POST /api/integration/v1/message` `{ "contact_id": "...", "text": "...", "created_at"? }` — the supervisor resolves `contact_id → user` via the linking table, then emits `EVENTS.MESSAGE.NEW` with `source = <selector>`: brain, reply and history work as-is.

| V1 types for the field (extensible by schema version): `udp-broadcast` (passive listening on the declared ports, max 5 ports per entry), `udp-active-broadcast` (request/response: emission of an integration-provided payload as a broadcast on the declared ports, max 5 ports per entry, then collection of the unicast responses — the TP-Link case), `mdns` (each entry declares one service type; a scan browses all declared mDNS service types), `ssdp` (M-SEARCH on a declared `st`). Displayed on the install screen ("this integration will be able to listen to UDP network announcements on ports 6666–6667", "will be able to emit a discovery request as a UDP broadcast on port 9999"); never arbitrary capture (no pcap, no undeclared port). Several entries of the same type are allowed (within the 5-entry bound), and the install screen shows each of them: for the two UDP types, the ports authorized for a scan are therefore the **union** of the ports declared by every entry of that type — a port approved by the user is never refused because it was declared on the second entry (so a scan may listen on up to 5×5 unique ports, the per-entry cap being independent of the per-type union). An `mdns` scan likewise browses **every** declared entry of the type; only `ssdp` scans the **first** declared entry (a single `st`) in v1. | ||
|
|
||
| **Host API (phase 2)** — on-demand scan, synchronous and bounded: | ||
| - `POST /api/integration/v1/network_discovery/scan` `{ "type": "udp-broadcast", "timeout_seconds": 10 }` (1–30 s, `403` if the type/ports are not declared in the manifest) → `200` with the **raw** results: `udp-broadcast` → `[ { "source_ip", "source_port", "payload_base64" } ]`; `mdns` → `[ { "name", "host", "addresses", "port", "txt" } ]`; `ssdp` → `[ { "source_ip", "source_mac?", "source_port", "headers" } ]`, the raw headers per responder. An `mdns` request browses **all** mDNS services declared by the integration and merges their results, so multi-service protocols do not need a second API selector or SDK capability. `source_mac` is **optional and best-effort**: the core looks each responder IP up in its own neighbour (ARP) table — it runs `network=host` — and omits the field whenever the kernel has no resolved entry for that IP. Answering the M-SEARCH does not by itself put the responder in that table: the entry is normally there because the device ARPed for the core before replying, which it skips when it already had the core's address cached. A missing `source_mac` is therefore ordinary, not an error — as is the case for a non-Linux host, an unreadable `/proc/net/arp`, an incomplete entry or a responder behind a router. It saves the integration from asking the user to type a MAC by hand to enable Wake-on-LAN (C.3 `POST /network/wake`) on a device it has just discovered; an integration must still treat its absence as normal. |

Bound the size of discovery results.
The scan duration is bounded, but udp-broadcast, mdns, and ssdp results have no maximum record count or total byte size. A noisy LAN can fill memory and create an oversized command-result or WebSocket message. Set per-record and aggregate limits, including payload_base64 and txt, and define truncation or failure behavior.

| The core widget renders the base fields as today and the extensions **when present** (alert badges colored by severity, sunrise/sunset, UV index) — a provider without them loses nothing, a provider with them needs no custom UI; the remaining optional fields are contract-first (served by the API, rendered as the widget evolves). The widget configuration can also **pin a provider**: a select lists the available ones — `GET /api/v1/weather/provider`, the same duck-typed enumeration as the loop, in precedence order, openweather included, labeled by the manifest display name; open to every authenticated user since any user configures their own dashboard, and the payload carries nothing operational (service name and display label only). The choice travels as `?service=` on the house weather and image routes: the provider loop shrinks to that single name and a failure of the pinned provider **surfaces instead of silently falling back** (pinning is an explicit user choice; the automatic precedence stays the default for unpinned widgets). The internal `openweather` is labeled "internal (deprecated)" in that select and its catalog card carries the deprecated badge: the Phase 3 deprecation, made visible now that an external OpenWeather can replace it under the same name. | ||

| **4. The weather-alert scene trigger (core-owned — works with every provider, zero integration contract)**. The field need (the MF pilot again): "run a scene when the vigilance level raises". The trigger is fed by the **core**, not by a push channel: a scheduled job (`check-weather-alerts`, every 30 min) — **gated**: it runs only when at least one active scene carries a weather-alert trigger, so users without such scenes cost their provider zero extra API calls — pulls the weather of every house with coordinates through the normal provider loop, and **diffs the normalized alerts** against the previous poll. Diff identity: the alert `type` when present, the trimmed lowercased `event` text otherwise — one more reason `type` exists. Severity is ranked `minor < moderate < severe < extreme`; a new alert **or a severity increase** fires `weather.alert-raised`, a disappeared alert fires `weather.alert-ended`, a de-escalation that does not clear the alert fires nothing (the alert is still on — re-announcing it adds noise, its end will fire). The first poll after a core start is a **baseline**: no events (a restart during an ongoing storm must not re-fire every scene). Trigger configuration: house, optional phenomenon type filter (`any` by default), minimal severity (`minor` by default). Because the diff runs on **normalized pivot alerts**, the trigger works identically for every provider — OpenWeather One Call alerts included — and the integration has nothing to implement. |

Use a stable identity for each weather alert.
The normalized contract allows up to 10 alert records and does not require unique type or event values. weather.checkAlerts.js keys its maps only by type, or by normalized event, so records with the same key overwrite each other. This can suppress weather.alert-raised or weather.alert-ended, or compare severity across different alerts.
Add an optional provider-scoped stable alert ID, preserve it in normalizeWeather, and use it in alertKey. Define a fallback that distinguishes multiple alerts. Do not use (type, event, start, end) as an unqualified stable key: start and end are optional and may change, which would turn an update into an ended/raised replacement. Define the replacement behavior for providers without stable IDs.

| **Seeing what runs on this instance, without opening every integration.** The catalog is a browsing surface: it mixes the natives shipped with Gladys, the store integrations available for install and the ones actually installed here, and it deliberately hides the nominal statuses to keep the card rows scannable. Neither answers the operational question "what is installed on my instance, and is it up right now?" — a question that today means opening each community integration's supervision block one by one. A cross-cutting **"Installed"** view answers it in one screen: route `/dashboard/integration/installed`, a menu entry (like "Favorites" and "To update", a virtual view and not a browse category) carrying the **number of installed community integrations** in a neutral badge — an inventory, not something to fix. The view filters the catalog down to the community integrations installed on the instance (a native integration is shipped with Gladys and is never "installed on the instance", so it has no place in this inventory), and it is the one place where **every card wears its status badge**, nominal states included. It opens on a one-line **summary of the live states** ("3 Running · 1 Stopped · 1 Error"), on the same model as the per-device transport summary of the Devices tab, with an installed integration of unknown status counted as `UNKNOWN` so the breakdown always totals the number of cards. Menu entry and summary are computed over the whole catalog visible to the user, so they keep saying the same thing whatever category, facet or search is applied; the entry only appears once at least one community integration is installed, and stays visible while it is the displayed view so it does not vanish under the user who just uninstalled the last one. **No new API and no new status model**: the view is a reading of the same `GET /api/v1/external_integration` list the catalog already downloads, kept live by the same `STATUS_CHANGED` events (a container going down updates the badges and the summary without a reload). The role rules are unchanged — a non-admin only ever sees the installed communication integrations, so that is all their view (and their count) contains. | ||

| **Installing from outside the store — a mainstream journey, not a hidden "dev mode".** A **dedicated card at the end of the catalog** (Devices category), "Install from GitHub", opens a modal where the user simply pastes the **URL of a GitHub repo**; Gladys fetches and validates the repo's manifest, shows the same install screen (name, description, warning) and installs (`POST` with `repo_url`, see C.5). It is the link between the store and direct sharing: beta-testing an integration, a repo not yet crawled by the indexer, a private-circle integration. In the same modal, a discreet "Developer mode" link reveals the advanced Docker image + inline manifest form (to work without a repo). **Manifest errors are shown in full**: when the install is refused with a `422`, the modal displays, under the generic message, the exact list of validation errors returned by the server (`properties`, the errors joined with `" ; "` by `validateManifest` — e.g. `actions[1].depends_on: unknown field`), one line per error. Same treatment in developer mode when the inline manifest is not valid JSON: the local `JSON.parse` error message is displayed the same way, before the request is even sent. This screen is the developer's entry point (their own repo, their own manifest): a generic "the manifest is invalid" forces them to open the browser's network inspector to learn what to fix. **Double-instance warning**: at install (all modes — store, `repo_url`, dev), if an already-installed integration shares the same Docker image (comparison **without the tag**: a `:dev` next to a `:1.2.0`) or the same manifest `name`, the install screen warns: "another instance of this integration is already running — two instances may fight over the same cloud account or the same devices; advice: stop the existing instance during your tests". Installing remains possible — running a dev version next to prod is an **intended** use (the `ext-dev-*` selectors guarantee no technical collision); the potential conflict is a domain matter, the user decides knowingly. Note: like any install, the action remains restricted to the admin role — the catalog's Devices category is hidden from non-admins in the current frontend anyway — but the UX is designed for a non-technical user: paste a URL, click Install. |

| - **Admin**: `POST /api/v1/external_integration` with **three install modes** — `{ store_slug }` (from the store, the server resolves image + manifest from its index cache), `{ repo_url }` (**from a GitHub repo URL**, indexed or not: the server resolves the default branch via the GitHub API, downloads the raw `gladys-assistant-integration.json`, validates it with the same JSON Schema as the indexer, then follows the standard install path; `store_slug` is inferred = `owner/repo`), `{ docker_image, manifest }` (dev mode without a repo). Then `POST .../:selector/update` (pull + container recreation), `POST .../start|stop|restart`, `GET .../logs`, `DELETE` (removes **everything**: container, devices, config — see B.2). | ||
| - **Standard user**: `GET /api/v1/external_integration` (list + status, feeds the frontend's integration catalog, see B.8), `GET .../:selector` (detail: manifest, `config_schema`, status) and `GET /api/v1/external_integration/store` (store catalog from the server's index cache, filtered by Gladys version compatibility, with search + "installed" / "update available" flags; `POST .../store/refresh` to re-download the index on demand). |

Align the store authorization contract.
docs/specs/external-integrations/contracts/management-api.md marks GET /api/v1/external_integration/store and refresh as admin-only, but this bullet grants the store catalog to a standard user. Choose one policy and update both documents. If the admin-only rule is intended, remove GET .../store from this bullet and add a non-admin 403 test.

In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/core/management-api.md` at line 8, Align the
authorization policy for the store catalog and refresh endpoints between the
management API overview and its contract document. If the contract’s admin-only
policy is intended, update the standard-user entry to remove GET
/api/v1/external_integration/store and add coverage asserting non-admin users
receive 403; otherwise update the contract and associated authorization tests to
permit standard users consistently.

| **Update = an explicit gesture, so no cache decides its outcome.** Detection is passive and lags by construction (the indexer rebuilds `index.json` hourly, the client caches it 30 min → up to 1h30 between a published release and the "update available" badge). The **"Force update"** button of the supervision screen is the answer to that latency, and therefore may not read the same caches: for a `store_slug` install it **re-downloads the index on the spot** *and* **reads the manifest of the repo** (`fetchManifestFromRepo`, the source the indexer mirrors). Without this, a release published minutes earlier resolves to the *previous* manifest, the same image tag is re-pulled and the button looks broken while behaving exactly as coded. | ||
|
|
||
| The two manifests form an **ordered list of candidates** — most recent version first, the repo winning ties, then **the running image as a last resort** — and the update applies **the first one whose image can actually be pulled**. The fallback is not decoration: bumping the version on the default branch and publishing the image are two distinct events, and between them (the release workflow is still building) the repo advertises a tag that does not exist yet. Failing the whole update there would be a regression — the button must at least still re-pull a known-good image, which is also how an admin unsticks a broken container. Same rule for a manifest refused by `validateManifest`: the index is unmoderated external data, a malformed entry is dropped with a log, never raised at the user. Only the manifest **actually applied** feeds `repoManifests`; a repo version that could not be pulled is **evicted** from it — cached, it would keep the badge on and send every later force update back to the same dead tag while ignoring the release that does work. |

Scope the running-image fallback to dev installs.
Line 29 lists the running image as a last-resort candidate without a scope. Line 31 states that local fallback is dev-only and that store updates must return UNABLE_TO_PULL_IMAGE when remote images cannot be pulled. If the candidate list is applied uniformly, a store update during a registry failure can recreate the existing local image and report success.
State that the running-image candidate applies only to dev installs.

In `@docs/specs/external-integrations/core/store.md` at line 29, Update the
candidate-ordering specification to scope the running-image fallback to dev
installs only. Ensure store updates do not use the local running image when
remote pulls fail and instead return UNABLE_TO_PULL_IMAGE, while preserving the
existing fallback behavior for dev installs.

Description
The single 1000-line
docs/specs/external-integrations.mdwas a constant source of merge conflicts: every workstream (a new integration type, a new capability, a contract change) edited the same file.It is now a self-indexing folder,
docs/specs/external-integrations/, designed so that branches landing in parallel never edit the same file:README.md— the living-spec rule, the context, the layout, the rules to extend the spec, the repo ecosystem table. It is stable by design: it never lists the capabilities.architecture.md— section A (overall architecture, deliverable phases).core/— sections B.1–B.14 and B.20, one topic file each (data-model,supervisor,integration-auth,host-api,integration-websocket,command-routing,management-api,frontend,store,js-sdk,integration-template,documentation,tests,accepted-risks,image-cleanup).capabilities/— one self-contained file per integration type or capability:communication-type(B.15),network-discovery(B.16),webhooks(B.17),weather-type(B.18).contracts/— section C, one file each:conventions,manifest(C.1),host-api-conventions(C.2),host-api-endpoints(C.3),websocket-protocol(C.4),management-api(C.5),indexer-formats(C.6),container-descriptor(C.7),js-sdk-api(C.8).verification.md— automated checks and the framework's manual e2e journeys.Mergeability rules (written in the README and in
AGENTS.md):capabilities/<topic>.md. Names are topics, never numbers, so two parallel branches cannot pick the same name.contracts/tables, no line added to a README map — nothing shared gets edited.Content is moved verbatim (verified by reconstructing the original file from the pieces: identical modulo heading levels). The only textual changes:
contracts/conventions.mdand ofverification.mdsaying capability-specific contracts and journeys live incapabilities/;AGENTS.mdand the specs that pointed at the old path (camera-ptz-control.md,water-heater.md,integration-catalog-categories.md,device-migration.md) now point at the folder, or at the file owning the cited section. Incamera-ptz-control.md, two pointers said "C.2" for thePOST /discovered_devicepayload, which lives in C.3: they now cite C.3;AGENTS.mdbullet drops its "not yet implemented" note on the phase-2 designs, which contradicted the spec header (B.15–B.18 have shipped).No code change.
