Search, versions, manifests, archives and the index, over HTTP.
The route shape is the decision worth recording. Package ids contain `/`, so
the obvious /packages/{id}/{version} is ambiguous under a greedy path
parameter. Rather than invent an HTTP-specific identifier, the routes speak the
format's own <registry>:<id>@<version> syntax and parse it — `:` and `@` are
both legal in a path segment, and each route keeps a distinct prefix so
greediness cannot swallow a neighbouring one. The API therefore exercises
section 3.2's reference notation instead of working around it.
A bare id present in more than one registry returns 409 with the candidates,
never a guess. 409 rather than 300 because the request is answerable once the
caller says which registry they meant. Omitting a version applies section
17.1's selector rules, so a prerelease is never chosen implicitly.
Validation is delegated to reference/, installed into the service environment
rather than reimplemented. One validator means the service and the CLI cannot
disagree about what a valid package is; a service accepting something the CLI
rejects would be the divergence this project exists to prevent. Importing it is
not changing it — reference/ stays the dependency-light conformance witness.
Storage keeps the format's distinctions: an immutable package version, its
files as content rather than parsed rows, and an index entry recording arrival.
Only reserved paths and manifest-referenced files are stored (section 2), and a
re-publish of identical content is accepted while different content under the
same id@version is a conflict (section 17).
Handles a real test-vs-production difference: SQLite autoincrements INTEGER
PRIMARY KEY only, never BIGINT, so the SQLite-backed tests could not insert a
row. BigInteger().with_variant(Integer, "sqlite") keeps BIGINT on PostgreSQL
while letting the tests exercise the same models and migration.
Verified live against a seeded store holding this repo's examples and four
helix-forge prompt packages. Service tests 11 -> 22.
