Overview ¶
Package httpapi holds the primitives every Atlas HTTP handler is written against: how a response is written, who the caller is, and where the request came from.
It exists because a handler cannot move out of the `api` package while the helpers it depends on live there — a per-area service (ADR-0147) would either import `api` (a cycle) or grow its own copy of the response envelope, and a second copy of that envelope is how one endpoint quietly starts answering in a different shape. Keeping them here means the wire contract has exactly one definition no matter which package serves the route.
Nothing here touches engine or design-time state; reaching that still goes through github.com/pblumer/atlas/api/runloop, which is a separate boundary on purpose.

Functions ¶
func ClientIP ¶
ClientIP is the host part of a request's remote address, without the source port. Rate limiting buckets on it, so it must be stable across the many connections one caller opens. An address that carries no port is used as-is.
func Error ¶
func Error(w http.ResponseWriter, status int, msg string)
Error writes the API's error envelope: a JSON object carrying a single human-readable "error". Every non-2xx response in Atlas has this shape, so clients can parse one thing.
func JSON ¶
func JSON(w http.ResponseWriter, status int, v any)
JSON writes v as the response body with the given status. Encoding errors are deliberately swallowed: the status line and headers are already on the wire by then, so there is no way left to report a failure to the client, and the alternative — panicking mid-response — turns a malformed body into a dropped connection.
Types ¶
type Principal ¶
Principal is an authenticated caller: a person with a session, the in-process MCP adapter's service identity, or a peer authenticated by a deploy token (ADR-0044/0129). A request with no principal is unauthenticated — either auth is off, or nothing valid was presented.
func PrincipalFrom ¶
PrincipalFrom returns the request's authenticated principal, or nil when the request is unauthenticated (auth disabled, or no valid session). Handlers branch on nil; a zero-valued Principal would read as a real caller with an empty name, so a miss is never one.
