Stored-query registry foundation + config/CLI RFC-002 (#128)
* MR-969: add stored-query registry config surface

Introduce the `queries:` block in omnigraph.yaml — an inline
`name -> entry` map of stored queries, per-graph
(`graphs.<id>.queries`) and top-level for single-graph mode, mirroring
how `policy` is wired in both modes. Each entry points at a `.gq` file
and carries optional MCP exposure settings (`expose`, `tool_name`),
defaulting to not-exposed.

Additive: absent `queries:` leaves current behavior unchanged.

- QueryEntry { file, mcp: McpSettings { expose, tool_name } }
- `queries` field on TargetConfig + OmnigraphConfig (serde default)
- query_entries() / target_query_entries() accessors
- resolve_query_file() — base_dir-relative `.gq` path resolution
- round-trip + absent-block tests

* Add stored-query registry loader and GraphHandle wiring

Add a `queries` module: QueryRegistry loads each declared `.gq` entry,
parses it, and selects the query whose symbol matches the manifest key,
asserting the two agree (key == `query <name>` symbol). Identity is the
query name; a key/symbol mismatch is a load-time error. Errors are
collected, not fail-fast, so a bad registry surfaces every broken entry
at once. Schema type-checking is deliberately left to a separate pass so
the loader stays callable without an open engine.

Thread an `Option<Arc<QueryRegistry>>` through GraphHandle alongside the
per-graph policy; the URI-canonicalizing clone propagates it. Production
openers default to None for now — the boot path loads and attaches the
registry in a later change.

- QueryRegistry::{from_specs, load, lookup, iter}; StoredQuery::is_mutation
- GraphHandle.queries field, propagated on canonical clone
- registry unit tests: identity match/mismatch, multi-query selection,
  per-entry parse errors, error collection, mutation classification

* docs: add RFC-002 config & CLI architecture

Layered config (user-global ~/.config/omnigraph/ + per-project), a
unifying `target` abstraction resolving to (locus, graph, sub-state,
credential) with embedded-URI XOR remote-server loci, multi-server ×
multi-graph client targeting, credentials by-reference, and the
file-naming decision: project and server config are one artifact
(`omnigraph.yaml`); the only differently-named file is the user-global
`config.yaml`, split by scope not role. Includes the 12-factor bind
portability rule (prefer --bind/OMNIGRAPH_BIND over a committed
server.bind) and the defined-locally / invoked-remotely model for
stored queries. Derived from first principles working backwards from
what the engine enables; validated against kube/Helix/git/compose.

Linked from docs/dev/index.md. Proposed; phased rollout for the
MR-973/974/981 family.

* Add check() to validate stored queries against the live schema

A pure check(registry, catalog) that type-checks every stored query via
the same typecheck_query_decl the engine runs for inline queries — no
parallel implementation. Failures are collected, not fail-fast, so an
operator sees every broken query (e.g. a type/property a migration
renamed or removed) in one pass. Breakages are fatal (the boot path will
refuse to start); warnings are advisory.

Pure over (registry, catalog) so it is callable both at boot (engine
catalog) and offline from the CLI without an open engine.

Advisory lint: an mcp.expose:true query that declares a Vector(N)
parameter warns — an LLM cannot supply a raw embedding vector; such a
query should take a String parameter and embed server-side. Warns
rather than rejects, since service-to-service callers may pass vectors.

- CheckReport { breakages, warnings }; has_breakages / is_clean
- tests: valid query, unknown type, unknown property, collect-not-fail-fast,
  vector-param-exposed warns, unexposed silent

* Drop internal plan-label refs from stored-query config comments

Doc comments referenced sequencing labels ("C2") that mean nothing to a
reader; reword to describe the behavior directly. Comment-only.

* docs: reconcile aliases with the role model in RFC-002

Place the existing client-only `aliases:` block in the client/server
role split: aliases are client-role (CLI, embedded, ungated) and may
live in both user-global and project config; `queries:` is server-role
(deployment manifest only). They overlap as "name -> .gq"; `queries:` is
the superset, and the end-state subsumes aliases (definition -> queries,
target/branch/format -> client invocation context, positional args ->
CLI sugar). v1 keeps aliases unchanged.

* docs: make RFC-002 config global-first, project-optional

The global user config is the primary, self-sufficient default; the
CLI works from any directory with no project file (the kubectl/aws/gh
posture), a deliberate flip from today's project-anchored behavior.
The project omnigraph.yaml becomes an optional repo-scoped override and
the deployment manifest. Uniform schema, both layers optional; global
can hold any section including a personal server's graphs/queries.
Additive: project still overrides global; the flip adds a fallback
layer below the project file rather than removing it.

* docs: justify XDG ~/.config/omnigraph over legacy ~/.omnigraph in RFC-002

Make the rationale explicit: XDG-first because OmniGraph is a client
that will cache remote catalogs and keep session state alongside
secrets, and XDG separates config / cache / state into distinct dirs
(clear cache without touching creds; backups skip cache) whereas a
single ~/.omnigraph/ mixes them. Honor ~/.omnigraph/ as a fallback for
the peer-group (aws/kube/docker/helix) expectation. Add XDG_CACHE_HOME
/ XDG_STATE_HOME to the override precedence.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: build RFC-002 credentials on the existing env-file mechanism

OmniGraph already has credentials-by-reference: bearer_token_env names
the env var, and auth.env_file is a git-ignored dotenv the CLI
auto-loads (real env vars win), resolved via resolve_remote_bearer_token.
The RFC's proposed credentials.yaml + token_env were redundant parallel
inventions. Reconcile: reuse bearer_token_env (extend to
servers.<name>) and auth.env_file (add a global ~/.config/omnigraph/.env
layered under the project .env.omni); OS keychain is an additive future
resolver. No new credentials.yaml. Updated summary, non-goals,
background, file-naming, credentials, example, login, migration, rollout.

* docs: use single ~/.omnigraph dir (Helix-style), not XDG, in RFC-002

Reverse the earlier XDG-first call. The prior argument rested on a false
dichotomy (single-dir => mixed config/cache/state); in fact the peer
tools (aws, kube, helix) achieve separation via SUBDIRECTORIES inside
one ~/.tool/ dir (~/.aws/sso/cache/, ~/.kube/cache/), getting cache
hygiene AND one discoverable place. So everything goes under
~/.omnigraph/: config.yaml, credentials (dotenv, 0600), cache/, state/.
Lower cognitive load, matches what DB/cloud-CLI users expect, matches
Helix. OMNIGRAPH_HOME overrides; $XDG_CONFIG_HOME optionally honored but
~/.omnigraph/ is canonical. Updated all paths, the rationale paragraph,
the file-naming table (added a cache/state row), and env precedence.

* docs: reconcile RFC-002 with shipped/planned CLI tickets

Align with reality found in existing tickets:
- Noun is graph/graphs, not target/targets (MR-603 done renamed the
  config key targets->graphs, flag --graph). Use graphs:/--graph; an
  entry is embedded (uri) XOR remote (server + remote graph name).
- ~/.omnigraph/ confirmed by MR-581 (og template pull, done) which
  already quick-starts templates there.
- Templates already exist (MR-581/MR-531) — not invented here.
- The init family is already specced (init, quickstart MR-973, serve
  MR-970, prune MR-972, mcp install MR-974, agent-mode MR-981); this
  RFC only adds the user route (~/.omnigraph/config.yaml + login).
- aliases: -> operations: planned (MR-839).
- bearer_token_env gap tracked in MR-971.
- query lint/check already exist (MR-639) — registry validator must not
  collide with the singular `query check`.
Add a Reconciliation section; fix the canonical example to graphs:/--graph.
Also: merge semantics refined (deep-merge settings, replace named
entries, replace lists, config view --resolved --show-origin).

* docs: correct stale-ticket claims and fold init/bootstrap design into RFC-002

Verify against code, not ticket statuses (MR-581 is marked done but is
stale/unbuilt): no ~/.omnigraph usage, no template/serve/quickstart/
prune/login commands exist; config still uses aliases: (no operations:).
So ~/.omnigraph/ stands on peer-convention merits alone, and templates
are a design question, not a foothold. Add §7.5: the three-tier init
model (user route = login + ~/.omnigraph/config.yaml; thin project init;
fat quickstart + templates) with first-principles positions (split
init/login, in-place refuse-if-exists, interactive vs --auto/agent-mode,
--template flag, secrets-on-scaffold gitignore rule). This RFC owns only
the user route; the rest are sibling tickets (MR-973/970/972/974/981).

* docs: breadboard + slice Shape A in RFC-002

Add the implementation breadboard (places P1-P5, affordances N1-N14 with
NEW markers, mermaid) and five vertical slices for the selected config/
CLI/init shape: V1 global layer + merge engine + config view; V2 remote
graphs + HTTP-client path + credential resolution; V3 omnigraph login;
V4 init-hardening + quickstart + templates (rides MR-970); V5 agent-mode
(MR-981). Rollout reordered to the slice sequence; spikes X1-X4 gate
their owning slice. V1-V2 close the substantive client->server gap.

* Add InvokeQuery Cedar action (coarse, graph-scoped)

A per-graph, branch-scoped action that gates invoking a server-side
stored query by name. Coarse for now: an `invoke_query` allow rule
permits any stored query on the graph; a future, additive refinement
adds an optional per-query-name scope without changing rules written
against the coarse action. Enforcement is at the HTTP boundary; the
engine `_as` writers still enforce read/change per the query body, so a
stored mutation is double-gated (invoke_query to reach the tool, change
for the write). No call site yet — the invocation handler wires it in a
later change (same pattern as Admin/GraphList added ahead of consumers).

- variant + as_str/resource_kind(Graph)/FromStr/uses_branch_scope
- Cedar schema: invoke_query appliesTo Graph
- tests: per-graph allow/deny, branch-scope accepted

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Load and type-check stored queries at server boot, refusing breakage

At startup the server now loads each graph's stored-query registry,
type-checks every query against that graph's live schema, and refuses to
boot if any query references a type/property the schema doesn't have
(same posture as bad policy YAML) — so schema drift surfaces at the
deploy boundary, not silently at invocation. Non-blocking warnings are
logged. The validated registry is attached to the GraphHandle (the two
production sites previously held `queries: None`).

Loading (parse + key==symbol identity) happens at settings-build time
where the config is in scope; the schema type-check happens after each
engine opens (single mode in `open_single_with_queries`, multi mode in
`open_single_graph`). `open_with_bearer_tokens_and_policy` delegates
with an empty registry so its 18 test callers are unchanged; the public
`new_*` constructors are unchanged (only the private build path threads
the registry).

- ServerConfigMode::Single / GraphStartupConfig carry the loaded registry
- boot tests: valid registry boots; type-broken query refuses boot + names it

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Add `omnigraph queries validate` and `queries list` CLI

`queries validate` type-checks the stored-query registry against the
live schema offline — it opens the selected graph, runs the same
check() the server runs at boot, prints breakages/warnings (human or
--json), and exits non-zero on any breakage — so an operator can catch
a query broken by a schema change without restarting the server.
`queries list` prints each registered query's name, MCP exposure, and
typed params.

Named `validate` (not `check`) to avoid overlap with the existing
`omnigraph lint` — `query check`/`query lint` are already deprecated
argv-shims to `lint`. Registry entries resolve like the server: a named
graph uses its per-graph `queries:`; otherwise the top-level one.

- Queries subcommand group; reuses QueryRegistry::load + check from
  omnigraph-server; local-only (needs the schema), mirrors lint
- tests: clean registry exits 0, broken query exits non-zero + names it,
  list shows the query and its typed params

* Route registry selection through one shared query_entries_for

The "which queries: block applies for graph X" rule existed twice — the
server boot path and the CLI's registry_entries — and had already drifted:
the CLI carried an unreachable unwrap_or_else fallback the server lacked.

Add OmnigraphConfig::query_entries_for(graph: Option<&str>) as the single
definition (named graph -> its per-graph block; otherwise top-level) and
route all three sites through it: server single mode, server multi-graph
loop, and the CLI. The CLI's dead fallback arm is deleted; CLI and server
now resolve identically by construction.

No behavior change. Extends the config round-trip test to pin the selector,
including the unknown-name -> top-level fallback the deleted CLI arm covered.

* Funnel registry validation through one validate_and_attach gate

The check -> refuse-on-breakage -> log-warnings -> empty->None block was
copy-pasted across both open paths (single mode and the multi-graph
per-graph open), differing only by the graph label. A third opener could
attach a registry that was never schema-checked.

Extract validate_and_attach(queries, catalog, label) -> Option<Arc<..>> as
the single gate both paths call, so attaching an unchecked registry is no
longer expressible. The catalog handle is an owned Arc, so calling it
before the multi-mode policy match (which rebinds db) is borrow-clean.

No behavior change. Adds a direct unit test of the helper (empty / clean /
breakage incl. the graph label in the message) — covering the multi-graph
path's logic, which previously had no boot-refusal coverage.

* Resolve param types structurally in the MCP vector lint

The exposed-query advisory detected vector params with
type_name.starts_with("Vector(") — a second copy of the compiler's own
ScalarType::from_str_name vector parsing that could drift from it.

Key the lint off PropType::from_param_type_name + ScalarType::Vector(_)
instead, the one canonical resolver the type system already uses. Any
future param-suppliability lint now reads the structured type rather than
scanning the surface string.

Behavior-preserving: the grammar forbids list-of-vector params
(list_type = "[" base_type "]", and base_type excludes Vector), so the only
input where the structured and string checks could differ is unparseable.
Adds a guard test that an exposed String param does not false-trigger the
warning.

* Refuse duplicate MCP tool names across exposed stored queries

The effective MCP tool name (explicit tool_name, else the query name) is a
second identity namespace beside the registry key, but nothing enforced it
unique — two exposed queries could claim one catalog key, and each consumer
re-derived the name ad hoc.

Add StoredQuery::effective_tool_name() as the one definition, and a
load-time uniqueness pass in from_specs over exposed queries: a collision is
a collected LoadError naming the loser and the winner. Scoped to exposed
queries (unexposed have no MCP tool); deterministic over the BTreeMap so the
first-declared wins and the error order is stable.

New (rare) refusal: a config with colliding exposed tool names now fails
`omnigraph queries validate` offline and refuses server boot, the same
posture as a malformed registry. Release-note-worthy.

Test-first: duplicate_exposed_tool_name_is_a_load_error (red before the
pass, green after) + a CLI offline test; the unexposed sibling pins the
exposed-only scope; effective_tool_name asserts folded into the load test.

* docs: document the queries registry, CLI, and invoke_query action

The stored-query surface shipped without user docs. Add it, per the same-PR
maintenance contract:

- policy.md: invoke_query as per-graph action #10 (branch-scoped), with the
  double-gating note; renumber graph_list; add it to the branch_scope list.
- cli-reference.md: the `queries validate | list` command, and the
  `queries:` config block (per-graph + top-level) with mcp.expose/tool_name
  and the tool-name uniqueness rule.
- server.md: boot-time stored-query type-check (refuse on breakage), noting
  invocation over HTTP/MCP is not yet exposed.

* Add POST /queries/{name} stored-query invocation handler

Invoke a curated server-side stored query by name: source + name come from
the per-graph queries: registry, the client sends only runtime inputs
(params, branch, snapshot). Gated by the invoke_query Cedar action at the
boundary; the handler delegates to the existing run_query/run_mutate, whose
inner Read/Change enforce still runs — so a stored mutation is double-gated
(invoke_query to reach the tool, change for the write).

- InvokeStoredQueryRequest + an untagged InvokeStoredQueryResponse
  { Read(ReadOutput), Change(ChangeOutput) } → one Json<_> return type and a
  oneOf 200 schema (a correct contract, not a wrong-but-simple one).
- Route lives in per_graph_protected → single-mode /queries/{name} and
  multi-mode /graphs/{id}/queries/{name} for free.
- Deny == unknown: an invoke_query denial and a missing query both return the
  same 404, so the catalog can't be probed by an unauthorized caller.
- OpenAPI regenerated; tests cover read, mutation double-gate (403 vs 200),
  bad-param 400, and the identical-404 deny path.

Completes the MR-969 V1 invocation slice (registry + /queries/{name} + invoke_query).

* docs: stored-query invocation endpoint; flip the not-yet-exposed caveat

Now that POST /queries/{name} ships (C7), document it: add the endpoint to
server.md's inventory + an invocation section (body, untagged read/mutate
envelope, invoke_query gate, double-gated mutations, deny == 404), and flip
the startup note that said invocation was not yet exposed. In policy.md,
replace "no invocation call site yet" on the invoke_query action with a
pointer to the endpoint.

* Scope the stored-query 404-hiding claim to non-invoke_query callers

Review found the deny==404 catalog-hiding was overstated as a contract: it
holds only at the outer invoke_query gate. A caller that HOLDS invoke_query
but lacks read/change gets the inner gate's 403 for an existing query vs 404
for an unknown one — so existence is visible to grant-holders by design (the
intended double-gate). The handler docstring, OpenAPI 404 description, and
server.md all claimed the 404 was airtight against any denied actor.

Correct the wording in all three (no behavior change) and add the missing
symmetric test (invoke_query but no read -> 403 for an existing query, 404
for unknown) so the actual contract is pinned. Also document that in
default-deny mode (tokens, no policy) every invocation 404s until an
invoke_query rule is configured.

Nits: the from_specs collision comment said "first declared wins" but it is
lexicographically-first by name (BTreeMap); the effective_tool_name docstring
overclaimed the CLI display routes through it (it resolves the rule on its
own output DTO).

* Default mcp.expose to true (the manifest entry is the opt-in)

expose controls MCP-catalog membership only — it is not an authorization
gate (invocation is gated by invoke_query regardless). So requiring a
per-query mcp.expose: true was friction with no safety benefit: a
non-exposed query is still HTTP-invocable by name. Flip the default so
declaring a query in the manifest exposes it to the agent tool catalog by
default; expose: false is the escape hatch for service-only queries.

Both the absent-mcp path (Default impl) and the present-but-no-expose path
(serde default fn) now yield true. Doc comments + cli-reference updated; the
config round-trip test asserts the new default.

* Add GET /queries stored-query catalog endpoint

List a graph's mcp.expose stored queries as a typed tool catalog so a client
(the MCP server) can register them as tools without fetching .gq source.
Each entry carries name, MCP tool_name, description/instruction, a
read/mutate flag, and decomposed typed params (kind enum: string|bool|int|
bigint|float|date|datetime|blob|vector|list, plus item_kind for lists and
vector_dim) — so the consumer builds an input schema with a closed match and
never re-parses omnigraph type spelling. I64/U64 are bigint (string on the
wire): a JSON number loses precision past 2^53 and the engine already accepts
decimal strings.

Read-gated (works in default-deny; the catalog is graph-wide, authorized
against main). NOT Cedar-filtered per query yet — a reader can list a query
whose invoke_query they lack (documented gap until per-query authz lands);
invocation stays invoke_query-gated + deny==404.

- api: QueriesCatalogOutput / QueryCatalogEntry / ParamDescriptor / ParamKind
  + query_catalog_entry (reuses PropType::from_param_type_name; scalar_kind is
  exhaustive, so a new ScalarType is a compile error here until catalogued).
- GET /queries route in per_graph_protected (→ /graphs/{id}/queries in multi
  mode); OpenAPI regenerated; path allowlists updated.
- Tests: projection unit (every kind, list, vector, nullable, mutation,
  empty) + handler (exposed-only filter, read-gate probe-oracle, empty
  registry).

* docs: GET /queries stored-query catalog endpoint

Document the catalog: the endpoint table row (GET /queries, read-gated), a
catalog section (typed-param kind enum, bigint/date/datetime/blob-as-string,
graph-wide/branch-independent, mcp.expose default true, the read-gated
probe-oracle gap), and flip the startup note now that the catalog ships.

* Collect file-I/O and parse errors in QueryRegistry::load in one pass

load() early-returned on any unreadable .gq file, masking parse / identity /
tool-name-collision errors in the OTHER (readable) files — so an operator
fixed the missing file, restarted, and only then saw the next broken query.
Now it collects I/O errors but still runs from_specs on the readable specs
and returns the union, so every broken entry surfaces at once (matching the
collected-errors contract the rest of the registry already follows).

Safe: from_specs' tool-name collision check runs over loaded queries only, so
dropping an I/O-failed entry can only under-report a collision, never invent
one. I/O errors are ordered first (BTreeMap key order), then spec errors.

Adds a load-level test (tempdir: a valid, a missing, and a parse-broken .gq)
asserting all three surface in one Err — confirmed red before the fix.

* Make invoke_query graph-scoped (one branch authority)

invoke_query gates reaching the curated stored-query surface — a graph-level
capability. Per-branch/snapshot access is already enforced by the inner
read/change gate in run_query/run_mutate (authorized against the resolved
branch), so branch-scoping the outer gate was redundant AND wrong for snapshot
reads (it defaulted to main). Drop the branch dimension: remove InvokeQuery
from uses_branch_scope (it joins admin as graph-scoped) and authorize the
boundary gate with branch: None.

Lossless: an actor confined to branch X by their read/change rules can still
only invoke a stored query that touches X. A rule that sets branch_scope on
invoke_query is now rejected by validate() — write invoke_query in its own
rule.

Ripple (atomic): restructure the server invoke fixture so invoke_query sits in
its own branch_scope-free rule; invert invoke_query_is_branch_scoped ->
invoke_query_rejects_branch_scope; the per-graph authorize test uses
branch: None; docs (policy.md, server.md, the InvokeQuery doc). No wire/OpenAPI
change.

* Resolve graph config by identity, not server mode

Which policy/queries block applies for a graph was decided three different,
mode-dependent ways: single-mode boot used top-level even for a named graph;
multi-mode used per-graph (and silently ignored a top-level queries block); the
CLI used per-graph for a named target. So `queries validate --target prod`
could check a different registry than the single-mode server loaded, and a
named graph's per-graph policy/queries were silently shadowed.

Make config a function of graph IDENTITY: a graph served by NAME
(--target/server.graph, a graphs: entry) uses its own graphs.<name>.{policy,
queries}; a bare URI is anonymous and uses top-level. One rule, applied by
single-mode boot, multi-mode boot, and the CLI — so they can't diverge and the
CLI predicts the server exactly.

No silent ignore: serving a named graph while a top-level policy/queries block
is populated now refuses boot, naming the block (the multi-mode top-level-policy
bail, extended to queries and to single-mode-named). The CLI's `queries
validate` derives the schema URI and the registry from ONE selection, and a
positional URI forces anonymous (ignoring cli.graph) so the two can't come from
different graphs.

BREAKING (released behavior): single mode by name (--target/server.graph) with
top-level policy/queries previously used top-level; it now uses the per-graph
block and refuses boot if top-level is also populated. Bare-URI single mode is
unchanged. Loud, with migration text pointing at graphs.<name>.

- config: resolve_policy_file_for (policy sibling of query_entries_for, no
  top-level fallback) + populated_top_level_blocks for the coherence check.
- characterization tests (single-mode named -> per-graph; named + top-level ->
  bail; multi-mode top-level queries -> bail; CLI positional-URI -> top-level).
- docs: policy.md, server.md, cli-reference.md.

* docs: RFC-002 credentials keyed by server name (keychain/profile/env)

Reworks the RFC's credentials model: secrets are keyed by server name — OS
keychain `omnigraph:<server>` (preferred) -> a `[<server>]` profile in
`~/.omnigraph/credentials` -> `OMNIGRAPH_TOKEN[_<SERVER>]` env (CI), the
AWS/gh/kube model. `servers.<name>` is endpoint-only by default but may carry
an explicit, secret-free `auth: { token: { env|file|command|keychain } }`
source. The shipped `bearer_token_env` + `.env.omni` dotenv remain a legacy
compat path; no `credentials.yaml`.

* docs: RFC-002 — typed graph locator (storage/server/graph_id), not a uri string

Add §1.1: the resolved graph address is a typed GraphLocator
(Embedded{storage} | Remote{server, graph_id}), not a flat uri: String.
Diagnoses the string model's cost in the code today (~16 is_remote_uri forks,
TargetConfig can't express multi-server x multi-graph, the CLI bails on remote,
the ts SDK models baseUrl+graphId separately) and settles the YAML naming so
the key names the locus:

- storage: (embedded) — shipped uri: is a deprecated alias
- server: + graph_id: (remote) — graph_id defaults to the entry key
- storage xor server, reject both/neither (no silent ambiguity)

Kills the graphs:/graph: collision and the uri:-might-be-a-server ambiguity.
Updates the §1/§8 examples and the entry-shape notes to the new naming.

* Test: queries list must reject an unknown --target

queries list opens no graph URI, so unknown-graph validation does not ride
along on resolve_target_uri the way it does for every other command. The new
test reproduces the gap: with an unknown --target the command currently exits 0
and prints the (empty) top-level registry instead of erroring like the
URI-resolving commands do. Fails against current code; the fix follows.

* Validate the graph selection in queries list

Graph-existence validation was a side effect of URI resolution: every
URI-resolving command rejects an unknown --target via resolve_target_uri, but
queries list opens no URI, so query_entries_for(Some(unknown)) silently fell
back to the top-level registry and showed the wrong (or empty) catalog.

Make membership a property of the selection: add the fallible
resolve_graph_selection alongside the infallible query_entries_for (a known
name passes through, an unknown name errors with the same message as
resolve_target_uri, None stays anonymous), and validate the selection in
execute_queries_list. query_entries_for is unchanged — server boot's bare-URI
path still needs its None -> top-level arm.

* Surface policy-engine errors from stored-query invoke

The invoke handler mapped every authorize_request failure to 404 ('stored
query not found'), which collapsed the authorization decision (deny -> 403)
together with operational failures (no actor -> 401, Cedar evaluation error ->
500). A real policy-engine 500 was hidden as a missing query.

Separate the two concerns instead of sniffing the masked status. Extract
authorize() returning an Authz { Allowed, Denied(msg) } decision and reserve
Err for operational failures only; authorize_request becomes a thin wrapper
that maps Denied -> 403, so the 16 deny-as-403 callers are unchanged. The
invoke handler now matches the decision directly: a denial stays 404 (deny ==
missing, so the catalog can't be probed without the grant), while a 401/500
propagates with its true status.

500 is now a reachable outcome on POST /queries/{name}; document it in the
endpoint responses and regenerate openapi.json.

* Extract the named-graph/top-level coherence rule into one helper

The rule 'a named graph uses its own graphs.<name> block, so a populated
top-level block is a config error' lived inline in single-mode server boot.
Extract it to OmnigraphConfig::ensure_top_level_blocks_honored so the same
definition can be shared by the CLI selection gate (next commit) and the two
can't drift. Boot calls the helper; the message is reworded context-neutral
(drops 'serving') so it reads correctly from both boot and the CLI.

Behavior-preserving: multi-graph mode keeps its own unconditional check, and
single_mode_named_graph_rejects_top_level_blocks still passes.

* Test: queries validate/list must reject a named graph with a top-level block

Server boot refuses a config where a graph is selected by name yet a top-level
queries:/policy.file block is populated (the block would be silently ignored).
The CLI's queries validate/list resolve the same named selection but skip that
coherence check, so they give a false green / list the per-graph block. The new
test reproduces it: validate prints OK and list succeeds where boot would
refuse. Fails against current code; the fix follows.

* Enforce top-level coherence in the single CLI selection gate

queries validate validated graph membership only as a side effect of URI
resolution and queries list only via resolve_graph_selection's membership
check; neither applied the named-graph/top-level coherence rule server boot
enforces, so both gave a false green on a config boot refuses.

Fold ensure_top_level_blocks_honored into resolve_graph_selection so it is the
single gate that returns only valid + server-coherent selections, and route
resolve_selected_graph (queries validate) through it; queries list already
calls the gate. A named graph with a populated top-level block now errors in
both commands, matching boot. A positional URI stays anonymous (top-level
honored), so queries_validate_positional_uri_ignores_default_graph is
unaffected.

* docs: RFC-003 — MCP server surface for omnigraph-server

Detailed MCP-transport design for the stored-query/MCP work, building on the
shipped #128 registry. Corrects the draft against the branch head: the coarse
invoke_query gate + 404 denial-masking are already wired (server_invoke_query),
so per-query invoke_query scope (PolicyRequest has no query-name dimension yet)
is the real prerequisite; positions the doc as superseding rfc-001's MCP
transport (/mcp/tools+/mcp/invoke) and reconciles the shipped mcp.expose YAML
form and the schema-introspection non-goal; grounds the parity surface in the
actual omnigraph-ts package (13 tools with read/change ids, 2 resources).

* docs(config): clarify graph config boundaries

* fix(config): enforce graph-scoped policies and query validation

* fix(cli): require graph selection for scoped query registries

* fix(server): preserve named graph id in single mode policy

* fix(cli): share graph identity for policy resolution

* test(cli): cover policy tooling server graph selection

* fix(cli): honor server graph for policy tooling

# HTTP Server (`omnigraph-server`)
Axum 0.8 + tokio + utoipa-generated OpenAPI. **Two modes** (v0.6.0+): single-graph (legacy) and multi-graph (MR-668). Mode is inferred from CLI args + config shape.
## Modes
### Single-graph mode (legacy)
`omnigraph-server <URI>` or `omnigraph-server --target <name> --config omnigraph.yaml`. Routes are flat — `/snapshot`, `/read`, `/branches`, etc.
**Config follows graph identity.** A bare `<URI>` is an *anonymous* graph and uses the **top-level** `policy.file` / `queries:`. A graph chosen by **name** (`--target` / `server.graph`) uses its own `graphs.<name>.{policy.file, queries}` — the same block multi-graph mode uses. ⚠️ *Changed from v0.6.0, which always used top-level config in single mode: a named-graph config that puts `policy`/`queries` at top-level now **refuses boot** and points you at `graphs.<name>.…` (move the block there). Bare-`<URI>` single mode is unchanged.*
### Multi-graph mode (v0.6.0+)
`omnigraph-server --config omnigraph.yaml` with a non-empty `graphs:` map and **no** single-mode selector (no `server.graph`, no `<URI>`, no `--target`). The server opens every configured graph in parallel at startup (bounded concurrency = 4, fail-fast on the first open error). Routes are nested under `/graphs/{graph_id}/...`. Bare flat paths return 404 in multi mode.
Mode inference (four-rule matrix):
1. CLI positional `<URI>` → single
2. CLI `--target <name>` → single
3. `server.graph` in config → single
4. `--config` + non-empty `graphs:` + no single-mode selector → **multi**
5. otherwise → error with migration hint
### Stored-query validation at startup
If a graph declares a `queries:` registry (see [cli-reference](cli-reference.md)), the server **loads and type-checks every stored query against that graph's live schema at startup** and **refuses to boot** if any query references a type or property the schema lacks — the same fail-loud posture as a malformed policy file, so schema drift surfaces at the deploy boundary rather than at invocation. Two MCP-exposed queries claiming the same tool name is likewise a boot error. Non-blocking advisories (e.g. an MCP-exposed query with a vector parameter an agent cannot supply) are logged. Validate offline before deploying with `omnigraph queries validate`. Discover the exposed queries as a typed tool catalog with `GET /queries`, and invoke one over HTTP with `POST /queries/{name}` (both below).
## Endpoint inventory
Per-graph endpoints — same body shape across modes; URLs differ:
| Method | Single-mode path | Multi-mode path | Auth | Action | Handler |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GET | `/healthz` | `/healthz` | none | — | `server_health` |
| GET | `/openapi.json` | `/openapi.json` | none | — | `server_openapi` (strips security if auth disabled; in multi mode emits cluster paths with `cluster_` operation-id prefix) |
| GET | `/snapshot?branch=` | `/graphs/{id}/snapshot?branch=` | bearer + `read` | snapshot of branch | `server_snapshot` |
| POST | `/query` | `/graphs/{id}/query` | bearer + `read` | inline read query (canonical; clean field names `query`/`name`; mutations → 400) | `server_query` |
| POST | `/read` | `/graphs/{id}/read` | bearer + `read` | **deprecated** alias of `/query` (legacy field names `query_source`/`query_name`, byte-stable response; carries `Deprecation: true` + `Link: </query>; rel="successor-version"`) | `server_read` |
| POST | `/export` | `/graphs/{id}/export` | bearer + `export` | NDJSON stream | `server_export` |
| POST | `/mutate` | `/graphs/{id}/mutate` | bearer + `change` | mutation (canonical; `query`/`name`; accepts legacy `query_source`/`query_name` as serde aliases) | `server_mutate` |
| POST | `/change` | `/graphs/{id}/change` | bearer + `change` | **deprecated** alias of `/mutate` (carries `Deprecation: true` + `Link: </mutate>; rel="successor-version"`) | `server_change` |
| GET | `/queries` | `/graphs/{id}/queries` | bearer + `read` | list the `mcp.expose` stored queries as a typed tool catalog | `server_list_queries` |
| POST | `/queries/{name}` | `/graphs/{id}/queries/{name}` | bearer + `invoke_query` (+ `change` for a stored mutation) | invoke a named query from the `queries:` registry; deny == 404 | `server_invoke_query` |
| GET | `/schema` | `/graphs/{id}/schema` | bearer + `read` | get current `.pg` source | `server_schema_get` |
| POST | `/schema/apply` | `/graphs/{id}/schema/apply` | bearer + `schema_apply` (target=`main`) | migrate | `server_schema_apply` |
| POST | `/ingest` | `/graphs/{id}/ingest` | bearer + `branch_create` (if new) + `change` | bulk load | `server_ingest` (32 MB body limit) |
| GET | `/branches` | `/graphs/{id}/branches` | bearer + `read` | list branches | `server_branch_list` |
| POST | `/branches` | `/graphs/{id}/branches` | bearer + `branch_create` | create | `server_branch_create` |
| DELETE | `/branches/{branch}` | `/graphs/{id}/branches/{branch}` | bearer + `branch_delete` | delete | `server_branch_delete` |
| POST | `/branches/merge` | `/graphs/{id}/branches/merge` | bearer + `branch_merge` | merge `source → target` | `server_branch_merge` |
| GET | `/commits?branch=` | `/graphs/{id}/commits?branch=` | bearer + `read` | list | `server_commit_list` |
| GET | `/commits/{commit_id}` | `/graphs/{id}/commits/{commit_id}` | bearer + `read` | show | `server_commit_show` |
Server-level management endpoints (v0.6.0+):
| Method | Path | Auth | Action | Handler |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GET | `/graphs` | bearer + `graph_list` on `Server::"root"` | list registered graphs | `server_graphs_list` (405 in single mode) |
### Stored-query catalog (`GET /queries`)
List the graph's **`mcp.expose`** stored queries as a typed tool catalog — enough for a client (e.g. an MCP server) to register each as a tool without fetching `.gq` source. Each entry: `{ name, tool_name, description, instruction, mutation, params }`, where each param is `{ name, kind, item_kind?, vector_dim?, nullable }`. `kind` is one of `string | bool | int | bigint | float | date | datetime | blob | vector | list` (decomposed so a consumer maps it with a closed `switch`, never re-parsing GQ type spelling). `bigint` (I64/U64), `date`, `datetime`, and `blob` are carried as JSON **strings** — a 64-bit integer loses precision as a JSON number, dates are ISO strings, and a blob is a URI string.
- **Read-gated** (works in default-deny mode). The catalog is **graph-wide** (branch-independent; `read` is authorized against `main`).
- **`mcp.expose` defaults to `true`** — declaring a query in `queries:` lists it; set `mcp: { expose: false }` to keep it HTTP/service-callable but hidden from the catalog.
- **Not Cedar-filtered per query (yet).** A caller with `read` but not `invoke_query` can *list* a query they can't *invoke* (which would 404). Closing that gap is future per-query authorization; for now the catalog is a discovery surface and `invoke_query` remains the invocation gate.
### Stored-query invocation (`POST /queries/{name}`)
Invoke a curated, server-side stored query by **name** — the source comes from the graph's `queries:` registry, so the client never sends `.gq`. The request body itself is optional; omit it for no-param queries, or send `{ "params": { … }, "branch": "main", "snapshot": null }`, where every field is optional and `params` keys match the query's declared parameters. The response is the **read envelope** (`ReadOutput`) for a stored read or the **mutation envelope** (`ChangeOutput`) for a stored mutation — serialized untagged, so the wire shape is identical to `/query` / `/mutate`.
- **Gate:** `invoke_query` (per-graph, graph-scoped) at the boundary. A stored *mutation* is **double-gated** — it also passes the engine's `change` gate, so an actor with `invoke_query` but not `change` gets `403`.
- **Deny == unknown, for callers without `invoke_query`:** for a caller lacking the grant, an `invoke_query` denial and an unknown query name return the **same `404`** (identical body), so the catalog can't be probed. A caller that *holds* `invoke_query` may still get the inner gate's `403` for an existing query it can't `read`/`change` (the double-gate, above) — so existence is visible to grant-holders by design.
- **Requires an explicit policy grant when auth is on.** In default-deny mode (bearer tokens but no `policy.file`), only `read` is permitted, so *every* `/queries/{name}` call returns `404` until an `invoke_query` rule is configured.
- A stored mutation cannot target a `snapshot` (`400`); a parameter type error is a structured `400` naming the parameter.
## Adding and removing graphs (multi mode)
Runtime add/remove via API is **not** exposed in v0.6.0 — neither
`POST /graphs` nor `DELETE /graphs/{id}` is implemented. Operators add
or remove graphs by stopping the server, editing the `graphs:` map in
`omnigraph.yaml`, then restarting. The server treats `omnigraph.yaml`
as operator-owned configuration and never writes it.
A future release may introduce a managed registry (Lance-backed,
catalog-style: reserve → init → publish with recovery sidecars) and
re-expose runtime mutation on top of it.
## Inline read queries (`POST /query`)
`POST /query` is the read-only, agent-friendly twin of `POST /read`. The
request body uses clean field names that match the CLI `-e` flag and the GQ
`query` keyword:
```json
{
"query": "query find($n: String) { match { $p: Person { name: $n } } return { $p.name } }",
"name": "find",
"params": { "n": "Alice" },
"branch": "main",
"snapshot": null
}
```
Response shape is identical to `/read` (`ReadOutput`). If the inline source
contains mutations (`insert` / `update` / `delete`), the request is rejected
with HTTP 400 and an error pointing the caller at `POST /mutate` — the
read-only contract is enforced at the URL.
`POST /mutate` is the canonical mutation endpoint. It accepts the same clean
field names (`query`, `name`); the legacy field names `query_source` and
`query_name` continue to deserialize as serde aliases so existing clients keep
working without changes.
## Deprecated names (`/read`, `/change`)
`POST /read` and `POST /change` are kept for back-compat indefinitely — they
are byte-stable on the request side and otherwise behave identically to
`/query` / `/mutate`. They are flagged as deprecated through three independent
channels:
- **OpenAPI**: the operations carry `deprecated: true` in `openapi.json`, so
every OpenAPI codegen (typescript-fetch, openapi-generator, oapi-codegen,
…) emits a `@deprecated` marker on the generated SDK method.
- **Response headers (RFC 9745)**: every response carries `Deprecation: true`.
- **Response headers (RFC 8288)**: every response carries a `Link` header
pointing at the canonical successor:
`Link: </query>; rel="successor-version"` for `/read`, and
`Link: </mutate>; rel="successor-version"` for `/change`. SDKs and HTTP
proxies can pick the successor up automatically.
Migration is purely cosmetic on the client side — swap the URL path, leave
the request body and response handling alone.
## Streaming
Only `/export` streams (`application/x-ndjson`, MPSC channel + `Body::from_stream`). Everything else is buffered JSON.
## Error model
Uniform `ErrorOutput { error, code?, merge_conflicts[], manifest_conflict? }` with `code ∈ unauthorized | forbidden | bad_request | not_found | conflict | too_many_requests | internal`. Merge conflicts attach structured `MergeConflictOutput { table_key, row_id?, kind, message }`.
`manifest_conflict` is set on **publisher CAS rejections** (HTTP 409): the
caller's pre-write view of one table's manifest version was stale.
`ManifestConflictOutput { table_key, expected, actual }` tells the client
which table to refresh and retry. This is the conflict shape produced by
concurrent `/mutate` (or its `/change` alias) or `/ingest` calls landing
the same `(table, branch)` race.
HTTP status codes used: 200, 400, 401, 403, 404, 409, 429, 500.
## Per-actor admission control
Disjoint
`(table, branch)` writes from different actors now run concurrently,
guarded only by the engine's per-(table, branch) write queue. To keep
one heavy actor from exhausting shared capacity (Lance I/O, manifest
churn, network), the server gates mutating handlers through a
`WorkloadController` configured per-process from environment variables:
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `OMNIGRAPH_PER_ACTOR_INFLIGHT_MAX` | 16 | Concurrent in-flight mutations per actor |
| `OMNIGRAPH_PER_ACTOR_BYTES_MAX` | 4 GiB | In-flight estimated bytes per actor |
When an actor exceeds its in-flight count or byte budget, the server
returns **HTTP 429 Too Many Requests** with `code: too_many_requests`
and a `Retry-After` header (seconds). The actor should back off; other
actors are unaffected.
Cedar policy authorization runs **before** admission accounting so
denied requests don't consume admission slots.
Today admission gates every mutating handler: `/mutate` (and its
deprecated alias `/change`), `/ingest`, `/branches/{create,delete,merge}`,
and `/schema/apply`. Read-only endpoints (`/snapshot`, `/query`, `/read`,
`/export`, `/branches` GET, `/commits`, `/schema` GET) are not
admission-gated.
## Body limits
- Default: 1 MB
- `/ingest`: 32 MB
## Auth model (`bearer + SHA-256`)
- Tokens are SHA-256 hashed on startup; plaintext is never persisted in memory.
- Constant-time comparison via `subtle::ConstantTimeEq`.
- Three sources, in precedence:
1. `OMNIGRAPH_SERVER_BEARER_TOKENS_AWS_SECRET` — AWS Secrets Manager (build with `--features aws`)
2. `OMNIGRAPH_SERVER_BEARER_TOKENS_FILE` or `OMNIGRAPH_SERVER_BEARER_TOKENS_JSON` — JSON `{actor_id: token, …}`
3. `OMNIGRAPH_SERVER_BEARER_TOKEN` — single legacy token, actor `default`
- If no tokens are configured, startup refuses unless `--unauthenticated` or
`OMNIGRAPH_UNAUTHENTICATED=1` explicitly opts into open local-dev mode. A
policy file without tokens is also rejected at startup. In open mode
`/openapi.json` strips the security scheme.
See [deployment.md](deployment.md) for token-source operational details.
## Tracing & observability
- `tower_http::TraceLayer::new_for_http()`
- Policy decisions logged at INFO level with actor, action, branch, decision, matched rule
- Startup logs: token source name, graph URI, bind address
- Graceful SIGINT shutdown
## Not implemented (by design or "TBD")
- CORS — not configured; add `tower_http::cors` if needed.
- Rate limiting — per-actor admission control gates `/mutate` (alias
`/change`), `/ingest`, `/branches/{create,delete,merge}`,
`/schema/apply` (see "Per-actor
admission control" above). No global rate limiter is configured;
add `tower_http::limit` if a graph-wide cap is needed.
- Pagination — none (commits/branches return everything; export streams).
- Runtime graph add/remove — edit `omnigraph.yaml` and restart.
