The pre-tree rules machinery is deleted: no row ever carried a rules
array or a non-default match mode (verified in the dev DB), the web
never read the envelope keys, and the Android app consumes none of it.
Dead code gets no documentation.
Removed:
- PUT /api/collections/:id/match-mode — endpoint, route, and the
UpdateCollectionMatchMode query. The tree's root mode owns any|all.
- auto_assign_rules / rule_match_mode from every envelope
(create/list/detail/update), from the create/update request shapes,
and from the schema: both columns DROPPED (schema.sql carries
idempotent DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS heals for existing DBs; sqlc
regenerated).
- The rules CRUD service layer (AddRule/SetRuleEnabled/RemoveRule +
validateRule + UpdateCollectionRulesJSON), ParseRules /
EnabledRules / IsSmartCollection, RulesToFilterTree (+ the SSR
preload branch), the legacy branch of EvaluateSmartMembership, and
SmartEvalOptions.MatchMode. IsCollectionSmart = tree presence;
create-path isSmart = collection_type=smart OR a filter_tree.
Kept (live consumers): POST /api/collections/preview still evaluates
rules payloads in memory (the custom-section builder's preview), and
include_auto stays on the list (the Android app sends it).
The custom-section builder's SAVE was already broken — its
stringified auto_assign_rules payload failed request binding (probed
live: 400 invalid request). Create now rejects that payload loudly
with a 400 naming the retirement, instead of silently creating a
hollow static section; custom-section-builder.md carries the flag.
The builder's tree migration remains the flagged follow-up.
Test-side (asymmetry rule — deleted behavior, deleted tests):
TestPodcastSmartCollections rewritten onto trees (mode lives in the
tree root), match-mode subtests and tree_wins_over_legacy_rules
deleted, TestRulesToFilterTree deleted, contract-pin envelope keys
retracted per the contract_pins 2026-10-31 retirement entry. Mirrors
hand-synced: openapi.yaml, bruno create/update, docs/api/*.md,
docs/schema.go, api.d.ts. Full container suite green (155s).
The generator moves into the Go toolchain per repo preference:
internal/docs/bruno_gen.go emits the OpenCollection mirrors (same output
contract — gate-verified example-request bodies, env-var params,
device-token headers, login/register/refresh token-capture scripts) and
TestBrunoMirrorsDocs grows a -update flag: verification by default,
regeneration on demand:
go test ./internal/docs -run TestBrunoMirrorsDocs -update
Generator and checker are now the same code — they cannot drift apart.
scripts/gen_bruno_from_docs.py deleted; opencollection.yml README points
at the go-test command.
Also fixed vs the Python pass: mirror placement follows the docs tree
folder (RelPath), not the area frontmatter (several docs — highlights,
notes, ratings, users, progress — carry a different area); docs blocks
emit the collection's mapping form (content + type), not a bare scalar;
JSON body sanity is checked at generation time.
Idempotent: back-to-back -update runs are byte-identical.
make test green (9 pkgs).
WO4. The old collection was the drifted artifact AGENTS.md warned about:
bodies pre-truncated at their first {{var}}, routes renamed server-side
but not here (/api/notes/:media_id, /api/book-matching/search,
/api/collections/:id/rules/test), an orphan universal-progress suite for
routes that no longer exist.
scripts/gen_bruno_from_docs.py emits one OpenCollection request per
frontmatter'd endpoint doc (191 requests): gate-verified example-request
JSON as body, {{env}} params per the environment file, device-token
routes get an explicit Bearer {{device_token}} header, login/register/
refresh keep the token-capture after-response scripts that chain the
collection. Old 1:1 mirrors deleted (128); hand-authored NewDevDBSetup,
environments, and edge-case suites kept. 30 scenario files with
truncated bodies (the documented corruption) deleted — they could not
run.
internal/docs/drift_test.go gains TestBrunoMirrorsDocs: every
frontmatter'd doc must have a Bruno request with matching method+URL
shape — the collection can never silently drift from the docs again.
opencollection.yml README block replaced with the real run instructions.
make test green (9 pkgs, parity test included in internal/docs).
