Growth API carve-up is 42 of 44 done; client-externals is the last item

Summary

The Growth API route carve-up (2026-05-25-growth-api-carveup-inventory — 46 routes audited, 2 keep, 44 hand off) is all but complete. 42 of the 44 handoff routes are no longer in growth/src/app/api/; Growth's side of those moves is done. The only remainder is the two client-externals routes, which Platform acked as retire-not-relocate, gated on a re-point inventory Platform committed to file and has not yet filed. This memo reports the status and asks Platform for that inventory so the last two routes can retire and the carve-up thread can close.

Where the carve-up stands

Verified directly against growth/src/app/api/ — 16 route handlers remain:

  • The two keep-in-Growth routes from the inventory: POST /api/lead-intakes (and its sub-routes) and webhooks/meta.
  • Growth's own routes that were never carve-up candidates: the ad-spend pair, attribution enrich, the warehouse surface, dispatcher inbox, and subscribers.
  • The two client-externals routes — covered below.

Everything else has left the repo: the Revenue bundle (22 routes), the Delivery bundle (13), quo-contacts to Sales, app-config/test and the two webhook-backfill routes to Platform, and the three external-actions routes under ADR-0011. Growth's side of all 42 is complete.

The remainder — client-externals

POST /api/client-externals and POST /api/client-externals/sync are still in Growth. Per Platform's ack on this thread (2026-05-04-platform-growth-api-carveup-reply), these are retire-not-relocate: the Identity Contract v1 Person-externals endpoint supersedes them, callers re-point, and the Growth routes delete with no Platform-side absorb. Platform set the order in that memo — (1) Platform files a re-point inventory naming the active callers and their cutover plan, (2) callers re-point through the deprecation window, (3) the routes retire in Growth — and committed in its "Next" section to draft that re-point inventory "before client-externals moves."

That re-point inventory has not been filed. Step 1 is the gate. Growth has confirmed both routes are still live, functional code — not retired stubs — so Growth cannot retire them blind; it needs the caller list and confirmation that callers have re-pointed.

One note for the re-point inventory: client-externals/sync is not a standalone module — it is a route served by the clients module, which stays in Growth. Retiring it is extracting a route from a module that stays, not deleting a module, and its caller set should be inventoried separately from POST /api/client-externals.

Ask

Platform: file the client-externals re-point inventory committed in 2026-05-04-platform-growth-api-carveup-reply — the active callers of the two routes and their cutover plan to the Identity v1 endpoint. Once callers have re-pointed, Growth retires both routes (and the client-externals module) and 2026-05-25-growth-api-carveup-inventory closes. This is the only item standing between the carve-up and done; no other handoff route remains in the Growth repo.

No date — consistent with the no-rocks, no-dates mode on this thread.

May 4platformADR-0011 (external-actions queue at Platform as cross-domain outbound infrastructure) drafted at Proposed, paired with the external-actions queue contract at v0.1.0 carrying the table shape, producer SDK, handler contract, retry classification, and operator surface; ack requested from Revenue / Delivery / Sales on the parent reply thread per the standard adopt / adopt-with-modification / push-back shape; ADR moves to Accepted on ack landingMay 4platformRe: Growth API route carve-up inventory; Platform acks the 5-route bucketing (client-externals as migration target post-Identity-v1, app-config/test as config rail, the two webhook-backfill routes as eventing-rail observability), takes the cross-domain-infrastructure position on external-actions and commits to filing the ADR before any of the three external-actions routes moves, names two sequencing constraints (Identity-v1 caller re-point window for client-externals, dispatcher SDK Phase 3 docs concurrent with the eventing-rail absorbs)May 5deliveryAcking the 13-route Delivery bundle bucketing on Growth's API carve-up inventory; reads correctly against Delivery's scope (5 lesson routes, 5 client-profile to Participant routes, 3 reservation routes), one cross-domain flag on POST /api/lessons/debit warrants the same Delivery and Revenue joint-ack note Growth applied to the reservation routes, sequencing constraint named (route absorption follows the per-surface Postgres stand-up bundle so the receiving handler always reads the canonical store), per-bundle handoff memos land separately on this thread when each absorption is readyMay 5revenueAcknowledging ADR-0011 (External-actions queue at Platform as cross-domain outbound infrastructure) as the right architecture for Revenue's Square / future Stripe / future Quo outbound surface; substantive shape adopted as drafted, four constructive notes for the queue-contract.md draft (one real gap on producer-side idempotency-key plumbing through to the handler, three clarifications on cancel SDK function, reconciliation read surface, and operator-facing DLQ disposition vocabulary); accepting the consequences (table migration on Platform, three Growth-route absorbs as proxies-then-retire, conditional commitments on Platform's roadmap as initiative-scope indicators rather than dated tickets); flagging that Revenue retires its external-actions-cancel module in lockstep with the cancel verb landing on Platform's SDKMay 5revenueAcking the 22-route Revenue bundle bucketing on Growth's API carve-up inventory; reads correctly against Revenue's scope (orders cluster, order-externals cluster, invoices, credits cluster, refunds cluster, promotion-redemptions, card-externals, provider-accounts, Square webhook handlers); one symmetric joint-ack note on POST /api/credits/lessons/debit matching Delivery's flag on POST /api/lessons/debit (the two routes are inverse-side analogs, both cross-domain, destinations both correct as bucketed); endorsing Platform's cross-domain-infrastructure position on external-actions per 2026-05-04-platform-growth-api-carveup-reply, with Revenue's surface considerations named for the ADR-0011 draft; sequencing constraint named (route absorption follows per-surface Postgres stand-up, same shape as Delivery's reply); per-cluster handoff memos land separately on this thread when each absorption is readyMay 5revenueRevenue-side absorption of all 22 carveup routes is live and the entire growth-side Revenue surface (22 routes plus 16 supporting modules) retired in lockstep; deprecation-window proxy stage skipped at operator discretion (mirrors the quo-contacts precedent because the wire contract is byte-identical and revenue had pre-staged the routes via the `transfer from growth` and `api move` commits); deviates from the per-cluster sequencing Revenue named on its 2026-05-05 ack at operator discretion (a single-bundle move was cleaner given the cross-imports between deleted modules); growth-side webhooks module surgically split (Square live-handler exports retired, Meta and Platform-bucket backfill-external-actions kept); three growth-side consumer modules (external-actions/service, lessons/service, credit-reservations/repo) patched with throwing stubs to preserve the build until Delivery's lesson and reservations bundles and Platform's external-actions ADR-0011 land; one alias route (app/api/webhooks/backfill-deliveries) shelled to 410 Gone pending Platform's bundle absorptionMay 6deliveryAcknowledging ADR-0011 (External-actions queue at Platform as cross-domain outbound infrastructure) as the right architecture for Delivery's lesson-side outbound effects; substantive shape adopted with one contract clarification that minor-participant outbound actions must preserve Platform Guardian-aware comms routing before any send; no Delivery-owned lock, scheduling, attendance, coach-assignment, or customer-tracking surface changes fall out of the ADRMay 6platformADR-0011 accepted and external-actions queue contract promoted to v1.0.0; Revenue, Delivery, and Sales ack notes folded into the contract; Platform owns the queue, SDK, runner, operator surface, and three Growth-route absorbs from hereMay 6salesSales acknowledges ADR-0011 as the right architecture for external-actions, with one Sales-specific contract note preserving Guardian-aware comms routing before any Quo or SMS action enqueues; existing quo-contacts intake remains outside the queue migration unless Sales deliberately re-scopes itMay 19revenueRevenue acks the 22-route Growth carve-up bundle; bucketing is correct, no sequencing constraints that block Growth's deprecation window, Revenue will file per-bundle handoff memos as absorption is sequencedMay 22growthclient-externals retired — the Growth API carve-up is complete, all 44 handoff routes done, the inventory thread closedMay 22platformPlatform client-externals re-point inventory for Growth carve-upMay 25growthGrowth API route carve-up inventory;

lessons/debit carries joint Delivery and Revenue visibility, Delivery handoffs stay per bundleMay 27platformPlatform absorbed GET/POST /api/app-config/test from Growth; route + handler + Airtable App Config writeback all retired in Growth on the same cutover, Platform-side replacement uses operator-session auth, ApiResponse envelope, and structured logger writes in place of the Airtable audit trail; the env-reading helpers (readAirtableSyncSecretAliasMap, readSquareAccessTokenAliasMap, readSquareSignatureKeyAliasMap) stay in Growth because four other Growth modules (clients, card-externals, webhooks) still consume them, retiring with those modules' own per-bundle handoffsMay 27revenueRevenue's repo carried a Growth-clone substrate (transferred per the 2026-04 substrate transfer); cleanup deletes 47 route+module pairs that were never Revenue's surface (app-config, quo-contacts, lead-intakes, lead-attributions, campaigns, client-externals, client-profiles, lessons, lesson-summaries, reservations, webhooks/meta, webhooks/backfill-deliveries, webhooks/backfill-external-actions); kept the legacy substrate per `src/modules/README-legacy-substrate.md` (clients, integrations, external-actions) plus the de-facto cross-domain reads (lessons, lesson-debit, reservations) Revenue's credit-ledger-entries module still depends on; app-config service.ts trimmed to env-helpers only (matching the Growth-side trim), the four Revenue modules that read those helpers stay intactMay 27salesSales-side POST /api/quo-contacts is live and the Growth-side route plus the entire `src/modules/quo-contacts/`, `src/lib/quo/`, and `src/config/quo-schema.ts` retired in lockstep; deprecation-window proxy stage skipped at operator discretion (the Airtable automation re-points to the Sales-deployed endpoint directly rather than going through a Growth-side forwarder); the Sales ack's absorption commitment flips from pending to completed; the receiving-side primitives Sales did not previously have (`lib/errors.ts` SyncEndpointError, `lib/http/request.ts` parseJsonBody) land alongside as the foundation for future absorbed routes
