# STATE-WP-0075 — Workstream REST route 410 stranglers

**Parent:** `STATE-WP-0070` T02 (phase-2 legacy retirement).  
**Handoff from:** `STATE-WP-0073` T04 (meter-cleared REST key retirement).

**Baseline evidence:** `docs/evidence/legacy-meter-weekly-review-20260710.json`
— phase-1 `/workstreams/*` keys at 0 calls (retirement candidates; ~2/7
consecutive 8h zero windows at capture time). Operator approved early 410 rollout
after caller remediation (`STATE-WP-0072`) drove hot-key counts to zero.

## Goal

Convert remaining phase-1 and phase-2 `/workstreams` REST aliases to **410 Gone**
stranglers that still meter final legacy usage, matching the existing
`DELETE /workstreams/{id}` and `GET /workstreams/workplan-index` pattern.

Preferred `/workplans/*` routes remain the only functional surface.

## Task: Shared retire_legacy_route helper

```task
id: STATE-WP-0075-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "cce857a7-cdec-5ceb-a8e4-b0c54498fe41"
```

1. Add `retire_legacy_route()` to `api/services/legacy_compat.py` — meter usage,
   set deprecation headers, raise `HTTPException(410)`.
2. Refactor existing 410 routes (`workplan-index`, `DELETE`) to use the helper.

Done when all 410 stranglers share one code path for metering and headers.

## Task: Phase-1 workstream CRUD stranglers

```task
id: STATE-WP-0075-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "819494cf-5539-5c2e-897b-9650835c6aee"
```

Return **410 Gone** on:

- `GET /workstreams/`
- `POST /workstreams/`
- `GET /workstreams/{workstream_id}`
- `PATCH /workstreams/{workstream_id}`

Keep `/workplans/*` handlers unchanged.

## Task: Phase-2 dependency and execution stranglers

```task
id: STATE-WP-0075-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "cac01081-f78e-5d55-90d1-5b486fb9b9f6"
```

Return **410 Gone** on:

- `POST/GET/DELETE /workstreams/{workstream_id}/dependencies/…`
- `PATCH /execution/workstreams/{workstream_id}/intent`

## Task: Tests, backlog, and parent handoff

```task
id: STATE-WP-0075-T04
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "df8e19fb-93ad-5b00-ab62-431d27d9c8a0"
```

1. Update `tests/test_legacy_meter.py` and `tests/test_routers_core.py` for 410
   expectations on all retired keys.
2. Mark phase 1–2 REST keys retired in
   `docs/workplan-terminology-legacy-retirement-backlog.md`.
3. Run `pytest tests/test_legacy_meter.py tests/test_routers_core.py`.
4. Register via `statehub fix-consistency --repo state-hub`.
5. Hand off completion to `STATE-WP-0070` T02 and close `STATE-WP-0073` T04.

Done when tests pass, workplan registered, and parent tasks reflect retirement.
