Sprint 0.4 Completion Report: API Skeleton & Documentation

Sprint Number: 0.4 Sprint Goal: Define and document complete API surface for all OctoLLM services before Phase 1 implementation Status: ✅ COMPLETED Completion Date: 2025-11-11 Version: 0.3.0

Executive Summary

Sprint 0.4 successfully established the complete API foundation for the OctoLLM distributed AI architecture. All 8 services now have:

• ✅ OpenAPI 3.0 specifications (80KB total)
• ✅ Standardized endpoints (/health, /metrics, /capabilities, /process)
• ✅ Consistent authentication (API Key + JWT Bearer tokens)
• ✅ Comprehensive request/response schemas
• ✅ Detailed examples and error responses

This sprint defines the contract between all components before Phase 1 implementation begins, ensuring consistent interfaces across the distributed system.

Completed Deliverables

1. OpenAPI 3.0 Specifications ✅

All 8 services now have complete OpenAPI 3.0 specifications:

Total: 79.6KB of comprehensive API documentation across 8 services.

Key Features Across All Specifications:

• ✅ Complete request/response schemas with Pydantic models
• ✅ Authentication schemes (ApiKeyAuth for external, BearerAuth for inter-service)
• ✅ Multiple examples per endpoint (success, error, edge cases)
• ✅ Detailed error responses with status codes
• ✅ Comprehensive field descriptions and validation rules
• ✅ OpenAPI 3.0.3 compliant (validated)

2. Standard Endpoints ✅

All services implement standardized operational endpoints:

Health Check (GET /health)

• Returns service status, version, uptime
• Includes component health (cache, memory, dependencies)
• Example response:

  {
    "status": "healthy",
    "version": "0.3.0",
    "uptime_seconds": 3600
  }
  

Metrics (GET /metrics)

• Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint
• Exposes service-specific metrics
• Format: text/plain (Prometheus scrape format)

Capabilities (GET /capabilities)

• Lists service capabilities and configuration
• Returns available features, supported operations
• Example for Coder Arm:

  {
    "capabilities": ["code_generation", "debugging", "refactoring"],
    "supported_languages": ["python", "javascript", "typescript", "go", "rust"]
  }
  

Primary Endpoint

Each service has a primary operational endpoint:

• Orchestrator: POST /tasks - Submit tasks
• Reflex Layer: POST /preprocess - Preprocess requests
• Planner: POST /plan - Create execution plans
• Executor: POST /execute - Execute commands
• Retriever: POST /search - Search knowledge base
• Coder: POST /code - Generate/debug code
• Judge: POST /validate - Validate outputs
• Safety Guardian: POST /check - Safety checks

3. Authentication Patterns ✅

Standardized authentication across all services:

API Key Authentication (External Requests)

ApiKeyAuth:
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  name: X-API-Key

Used for: External client → Orchestrator communication

Bearer Token Authentication (Inter-Service)

BearerAuth:
  type: http
  scheme: bearer
  bearerFormat: JWT

Used for: Orchestrator ↔ Arms communication (capability tokens)

4. Core Schemas Defined ✅

All 6 core schemas documented across OpenAPI specs:

TaskContract

TaskRequest:
  goal: string (required)
  constraints: array<string>
  acceptance_criteria: array<string>
  context: object
  budget: ResourceBudget

ResourceBudget

ResourceBudget:
  max_tokens: integer (100-100000, default 10000)
  max_time_seconds: integer (5-300, default 60)
  max_cost_dollars: float (0.01-10.0, default 1.0)

ArmCapability

ArmCapability:
  arm_id: string
  name: string
  description: string
  capabilities: array<string>
  cost_tier: integer (1-5)
  endpoint: uri
  status: enum (healthy, degraded, unavailable)

ValidationResult

ValidationResult:
  valid: boolean
  confidence: float (0.0-1.0)
  issues: array<ValidationIssue>
  passed_criteria: array<string>
  failed_criteria: array<string>
  quality_score: float (0.0-1.0)

RetrievalResult

SearchResponse:
  results: array<SearchResult>
  query: string
  method_used: enum (vector, keyword, hybrid)
  total_results: integer
  synthesis: string
  citations: array<uri>

CodeGeneration

CodeResponse:
  success: boolean
  code: string
  explanation: string
  language: string
  tests: string (optional)
  confidence: float (0.0-1.0)
  warnings: array<string>

API Architecture Decisions

1. Port Assignments

Standardized port scheme for easy service discovery:

• 8000: Orchestrator (external entry point)
• 8001: Reflex Layer (ingress preprocessing)
• 8002-8007: Arms (Planner, Executor, Retriever, Coder, Judge, Safety Guardian)

2. Error Response Standard

All services use consistent error format:

{
  "error": "ErrorType",
  "message": "Human-readable description",
  "details": { /* optional context */ },
  "retry_after": 60  /* optional, for rate limits */
}

3. Versioning Strategy

• OpenAPI version: 0.3.0 (matches project version)
• API version included in /health response
• Semantic versioning: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
• Breaking changes require MAJOR version bump

4. Request ID Tracing

Optional X-Request-ID header for request tracing:

• Generated by client or auto-generated by server
• Propagated across all service calls
• Included in error responses for debugging

Impact on Phase 1 Implementation

Benefits

1. Clear Contracts: Phase 1 developers have complete API specifications
2. Consistent Interfaces: All services follow same patterns
3. Type Safety: Schemas enable auto-generated types/validators
4. Testing Foundation: Examples serve as test case templates
5. Documentation: API docs generated from OpenAPI specs

Next Steps for Phase 1

1. Generate API Clients: Use OpenAPI specs to generate Python/TypeScript SDKs
2. Implement Endpoints: Follow specifications exactly
3. Add Validation: Use schemas for request/response validation
4. Write Tests: Use examples as test case data
5. Deploy Services: Use port assignments for service discovery
