Proto-first API rebuild: sebuf contracts, handlers, gateway, and generated docs

[SebastienMelki]

How to review this PR

This is a large PR (~400 files). We recommend checking out the branch locally and navigating the repo in your editor rather than reading diffs on GitHub — the structure is much clearer when you can jump between files.

git fetch origin feat/sebuf-integration
git checkout feat/sebuf-integration

Why this matters

1. Single source of truth — Every field, type, enum, and constraint is defined once in a .proto file. Client types, server types, and API docs are all derived — they cannot drift. No more hand-writing matching interfaces on both sides.

2. Type-safe end-to-end — The generated SeismologyServiceHandler interface forces handler implementations to accept the correct request type and return the correct response type. Add a field to the proto and tsc will tell you every file that needs updating. Remove a field, same thing. No more as any or silent breakage.

3. Validation at the boundary — Field constraints (required, min_len, max_len, gte, lte, pattern) are defined in proto and enforced by the generated server. Invalid requests get a structured 400 with specific field violations — zero hand-written validation code.

4. Automatic API documentation — Every service gets a complete OpenAPI v3 spec generated from the proto definitions. These live in docs/api/ and update automatically on make generate. No manual Swagger authoring. Start with SeismologyService.openapi.yaml to see what gets generated — note how the buf.validate constraints (e.g., minMagnitude >= 0, id minLength: 1) flow through into the OpenAPI schema automatically.

5. AI-friendly codebase — Proto files are the best possible context for AI-assisted development: they are compact, declarative, and fully describe every API contract in the system. An AI agent can read proto/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/ and immediately understand the exact shape of every request, response, and entity — no need to reverse-engineer types from scattered fetch() calls. The per-RPC file split means each handler is a self-contained module (~50-150 lines) that an AI can read, modify, or generate in isolation. Adding a new RPC is a mechanical sequence (write proto, generate, implement handler, re-export) — all steps an AI can execute reliably.

6. Unified server runtime — Instead of 56 individual Vercel edge functions each reimplementing CORS/error handling, a single catch-all mounts all routes with shared middleware. CORS, error mapping, and request validation happen once.

7. Framework-agnostic — The generated server code uses the Web Fetch API (Request/Response). It runs identically on Vercel Edge, Vite dev server, and Tauri desktop — no framework coupling.

8. Built-in Tauri compatibility — Generated clients accept an injectable fetch function. The existing Tauri fetch patch intercepts all /api/* paths — new sebuf paths work automatically with zero changes to src-tauri/.

9. Incremental migration — Old api/*.js files keep working. Vercel routing gives specific files priority over the catch-all. Each domain migrated independently.

End-to-end walkthrough: ListEarthquakes

The best way to understand the architecture is to trace one RPC from contract to UI. Seismology is the simplest domain (1 RPC, no shared state), so it's the ideal first read.

Step 1: Proto contract (the source of truth)

Start here — everything else is derived from these files.

• Service definition — proto/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/service.proto

  • Line 9: service SeismologyService with base path /api/seismology/v1
  • Line 13: rpc ListEarthquakes with route path /list-earthquakes

• Request/Response messages — proto/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/list_earthquakes.proto

  • Line 11: ListEarthquakesRequest with time_range, pagination, min_magnitude
  • Line 17: buf.validate annotation — min_magnitude must be >= 0
  • Line 21: ListEarthquakesResponse with repeated Earthquake earthquakes

• Domain entity — proto/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/earthquake.proto

  • Lines 12-16: id field with required = true, min_len = 1, max_len = 100
  • Line 26: occurred_at as int64 with INT64_ENCODING_NUMBER (so TypeScript gets number, not string)

Step 2: Generated server interface (machine output — skim, don't review in detail)

src/generated/server/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/service_server.ts — worth a quick look to see what the codegen produces:

• Lines 4-33: TypeScript interfaces mirroring the proto messages exactly (Earthquake, ListEarthquakesRequest, etc.)
• Lines 89-91: SeismologyServiceHandler interface — this is the contract the handler must satisfy
• Lines 93-142: createSeismologyServiceRoutes() — generates the RouteDescriptor[] that the gateway mounts

Step 3: Handler implementation (human-written — review this)

• Per-RPC file — server/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/list-earthquakes.ts

  • The actual business logic: fetches USGS GeoJSON, transforms to proto-shaped Earthquake objects
  • ~60 lines, self-contained, typed against the generated interface

• Thin re-export — server/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/handler.ts

  • 7 lines. Imports the per-RPC function, exports a seismologyHandler object. Every domain follows this exact pattern.

Step 4: Route registration (wiring)

• Catch-all gateway — api/[[...path]].js (esbuild-bundled from TypeScript source)
  • Imports all 17 create{Domain}ServiceRoutes from generated server code
  • Imports all 17 domain handlers from server/worldmonitor/{domain}/v1/handler.ts
  • Mounts all routes: ...createSeismologyServiceRoutes(seismologyHandler, serverOptions), etc.
  • Shared CORS, origin check, router dispatch — written once for all 17 services

Step 5: Generated client (machine output — skim, don't review in detail)

src/generated/client/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/service_client.ts

• Line 87: SeismologyServiceClient constructor (accepts baseURL + optional fetch)
• Lines 93-115: listEarthquakes(req) — builds POST request, parses response, handles errors with typed ValidationError/ApiError

Step 6: Frontend service wrapper (human-written — review this)

src/services/earthquakes.ts — 21 lines total:

• Line 11: new SeismologyServiceClient('', { fetch: fetch.bind(globalThis) })
• Line 12: Circuit breaker wrapping the client
• Lines 16-21: fetchEarthquakes() — calls client.listEarthquakes({ minMagnitude: 0 }), returns typed Earthquake[]
• Line 9: Re-exports the proto Earthquake type as the domain's public type

That's it. The rest of the app (App.ts, map components) consumes fetchEarthquakes() and Earthquake without knowing anything about protos, HTTP, or sebuf.

Suggested review order

1. Read one proto domain end-to-end — follow the seismology walkthrough above. Once you see the pattern, every other domain is the same shape.
2. Check the generated docs — open docs/api/SeismologyService.openapi.yaml to see how proto definitions (including buf.validate constraints) produce complete OpenAPI specs. Then spot-check a larger one like MilitaryService.openapi.yaml.
3. Skim the gateway — api/[[...path]].js (bundled catch-all) + server/router.ts + server/cors.ts + server/error-mapper.ts — the shared infrastructure.
4. Spot-check 2-3 handler implementations — pick a complex one like military/ (7 RPCs) or intelligence/ (5 RPCs) to verify the pattern scales.
5. Check proto validation annotations — look at a few entity protos for buf.validate constraints (e.g., earthquake.proto, intelligence.proto).
6. Skip generated files — src/generated/ files are machine output. They'll regenerate on any proto change.

Quick validation

make lint                  # proto linting — should pass with zero errors
make generate              # regenerate all TypeScript + OpenAPI from protos
npx tsc --noEmit           # verify everything compiles with zero errors

How to add a new endpoint

This is the workflow for adding a new RPC to an existing service (e.g., adding GetEarthquakeDetails to SeismologyService):

1. Define the proto contract

Create proto/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/get_earthquake_details.proto:

syntax = "proto3";
package worldmonitor.seismology.v1;

import "buf/validate/validate.proto";
import "worldmonitor/seismology/v1/earthquake.proto";

message GetEarthquakeDetailsRequest {
  // USGS event identifier.
  string earthquake_id = 1 [
    (buf.validate.field).required = true,
    (buf.validate.field).string.min_len = 1
  ];
}

message GetEarthquakeDetailsResponse {
  Earthquake earthquake = 1;
}

Add the RPC to proto/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/service.proto:

import "worldmonitor/seismology/v1/get_earthquake_details.proto";

service SeismologyService {
  // ... existing RPCs ...

  rpc GetEarthquakeDetails(GetEarthquakeDetailsRequest) returns (GetEarthquakeDetailsResponse) {
    option (sebuf.http.config) = {path: "/get-earthquake-details"};
  }
}

Key conventions:

• Time fields: always int64 with [(sebuf.http.int64_encoding) = INT64_ENCODING_NUMBER]
• Required fields: use (buf.validate.field).required = true
• Score ranges: (buf.validate.field).double.gte = 0 / .lte = 100
• Coordinates: use worldmonitor.core.v1.GeoCoordinates (has built-in lat/lon bounds)
• Pagination: use worldmonitor.core.v1.PaginationRequest/PaginationResponse

2. Generate code

make check    # lint + generate in one step

This produces (automatically):

• src/generated/server/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/service_server.ts — updated handler interface now requires getEarthquakeDetails
• src/generated/client/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/service_client.ts — client gains getEarthquakeDetails() method
• docs/api/SeismologyService.openapi.yaml — OpenAPI spec gains the new endpoint with all validation constraints

At this point npx tsc --noEmit will fail — the handler doesn't implement the new method yet. This is by design.

3. Implement the handler

Create server/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/get-earthquake-details.ts:

import type {
  SeismologyServiceHandler,
  ServerContext,
  GetEarthquakeDetailsRequest,
  GetEarthquakeDetailsResponse,
} from '../../../../src/generated/server/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/service_server';

export const getEarthquakeDetails: SeismologyServiceHandler['getEarthquakeDetails'] = async (
  _ctx: ServerContext,
  req: GetEarthquakeDetailsRequest,
): Promise<GetEarthquakeDetailsResponse> => {
  // Your implementation here
};

Add it to the handler re-export in server/worldmonitor/seismology/v1/handler.ts:

import { listEarthquakes } from './list-earthquakes';
import { getEarthquakeDetails } from './get-earthquake-details';

export const seismologyHandler: SeismologyServiceHandler = {
  listEarthquakes,
  getEarthquakeDetails,
};

4. Verify

npx tsc --noEmit  # should pass — handler satisfies the updated interface

The route is already live — createSeismologyServiceRoutes() picks up the new RPC automatically. No changes needed to the catch-all gateway or vite.config.ts.

---

Motivation

WorldMonitor currently has 56 hand-written API endpoint files in api/, each independently implementing fetch logic, error handling, CORS, request validation, and response typing. This means:

• 56 places where CORS headers can be wrong or missing
• 56 places where error handling is inconsistent
• 56 files with hand-written TypeScript interfaces that can drift from actual API responses
• Zero compile-time guarantees that request/response shapes match between client and server
• Zero auto-generated API documentation

Every new upstream data source requires writing a new endpoint file from scratch, copying boilerplate from an existing one, and hoping the types stay in sync.

What this PR introduces

This PR is a proto-first API rebuild — defining every API contract in Protocol Buffers and generating type-safe TypeScript clients, server handler interfaces, and OpenAPI documentation from a single source of truth. All 17 domain handlers are implemented, the catch-all gateway is live, and the frontend service layer has been migrated to use generated clients.

The toolchain: sebuf v0.7.0

sebuf v0.7.0 was released with WorldMonitor as the primary design target. It includes:

• protoc-gen-ts-client — Generates typed client classes with injectable fetch, automatic JSON serialization, and proper error types (ValidationError, ApiError)
• protoc-gen-ts-server — Generates framework-agnostic server handler interfaces using the Web Fetch API. Works natively on Node 18+, Deno, Bun, Vercel Edge, and Cloudflare Workers — all environments WorldMonitor targets
• protoc-gen-openapiv3 — Generates OpenAPI v3 specs (YAML + JSON) from the same proto definitions
• Route descriptors — createXxxServiceRoutes() returns a RouteDescriptor[] that can be mounted on any HTTP framework, enabling a single catch-all Vercel function to replace all 56 individual files
• Proto-defined validation — Field constraints (required, min/max length, ranges, patterns) defined once in proto, enforced in both client and server
• Custom error hooks — onError callback for mapping domain exceptions to HTTP responses, no more per-file try/catch boilerplate

What's in this branch

79 proto files defining 17 domain services (48 RPCs) + shared core types:

Domain	Service	RPCs	Upstream Sources
seismology	SeismologyService	1	USGS
wildfire	WildfireService	1	NASA FIRMS
climate	ClimateService	1	Open-Meteo / ERA5
prediction	PredictionService	1	Polymarket
aviation	AviationService	1	FAA, Eurocontrol
cyber	CyberService	1	Feodo, URLhaus, OTX, AbuseIPDB, C2Intel
unrest	UnrestService	1	ACLED + GDELT
displacement	DisplacementService	2	UNHCR
maritime	MaritimeService	2	AIS, NGA
conflict	ConflictService	3	ACLED, UCDP, HAPI/HDX
news	NewsService	3	RSS feeds, Groq/OpenRouter
economic	EconomicService	4	FRED, World Bank, EIA
infrastructure	InfrastructureService	4	Cloudflare Radar, custom
research	ResearchService	4	arXiv, GitHub, Hacker News
intelligence	IntelligenceService	5	Computed (CII, PizzINT, GDELT, AI)
market	MarketService	7	Finnhub, Yahoo Finance, CoinGecko
military	MilitaryService	7	OpenSky, Wingbits, AIS, USNI

Core shared types (proto/worldmonitor/core/v1/):

• GeoCoordinates, BoundingBox — Validated WGS84 coordinates
• TimeRange — Unix epoch millisecond intervals
• PaginationRequest/PaginationResponse — Cursor-based pagination
• SeverityLevel, CriticalityLevel, TrendDirection — Cross-domain enums
• CountryCode — Validated ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
• 13 typed ID wrappers (EarthquakeID, CyberThreatID, etc.)
• GeneralError — Structured error types (RateLimited, UpstreamDown, GeoBlocked, MaintenanceMode)

Generated output (from make generate):

• 17 TypeScript client classes (src/generated/client/)
• 17 TypeScript server handler interfaces (src/generated/server/)
• 17 OpenAPI v3 specs in YAML + JSON (docs/api/)

Runtime infrastructure:

• Unified catch-all gateway (api/[[...path]].js) — esbuild-bundled, replaces 56 individual edge functions
• All 17 domain handler implementations split into per-RPC modules (server/worldmonitor/)
• Shared CORS, error mapping, and router middleware (server/)
• Frontend service wrappers using generated clients (src/services/)

Remaining work (not blocking merge)

• Non-domain utility endpoints — 7 standalone Vercel functions (rss-proxy, og-story, download, version, story, fwdstart, _cors) are intentionally kept outside sebuf (they return HTML/XML/SVG, not JSON API data). api/eia/ (API key proxy) and api/youtube/ (embed proxy) also remain as standalone files.
• Stale legacy fetch paths — A couple of edge-case files still reference old endpoints: src/services/military-flights.ts has an /api/opensky dev fallback, and src/services/prediction/index.ts still fetches /api/polymarket directly. These should be migrated to use the generated clients.

Verdict

[koala73]

Summary: Strong proto-first migration, but there are a few correctness regressions and API-contract issues that should be addressed before merge.

Blocking

1. Incorrect country fallback in getHumanitarianSummary. If the requested countryCode isn’t in the ISO2→ISO3 map, the handler returns the first available country from the HAPI response, which silently returns the wrong country. server/worldmonitor/conflict/v1/get-humanitarian-summary.ts:114-126.
2. API contract mismatch for HumanitarianCountrySummary.country_code. The proto says ISO‑2, but the handler returns ISO‑3 for mapped countries, producing inconsistent values. proto/worldmonitor/conflict/v1/humanitarian_summary.proto:8-11, server/worldmonitor/conflict/v1/get-humanitarian-summary.ts:131-133.

High

1. AIS snapshot caching regression. The new getVesselSnapshot RPC calls the relay on every request with no Redis/memory cache or in‑flight dedupe. The old /api/ais-snapshot had caching and de‑dup and is likely relied on by polling clients. server/worldmonitor/maritime/v1/get-vessel-snapshot.ts:38-111.
2. Stubbed RPCs return empty data (silent no‑ops). If clients route through sebuf, they’ll get empty responses. Either implement or remove from proto until ready. server/worldmonitor/news/v1/list-news-items.ts:7-13, server/worldmonitor/news/v1/summarize-headlines.ts:7-16, server/worldmonitor/military/v1/list-military-vessels.ts:7-12.

Medium

1. Semantic mismatch in HAPI mapping: conflict event counts are being mapped into humanitarian fields (population_affected, people_in_need, etc.). If the proto is truly humanitarian, this is misleading and should be renamed or re-sourced. server/worldmonitor/conflict/v1/get-humanitarian-summary.ts:131-136, proto/worldmonitor/conflict/v1/humanitarian_summary.proto:7-20.
2. Tests removed with no replacement. Multiple test files were deleted and there are no new server/ tests covering migrated logic (summarization, cyber, USNI parsing). Example deletions: api/_summarize-handler.test.mjs, api/cyber-threats.test.mjs, api/usni-fleet.test.mjs, api/ollama-summarize.test.mjs, tests/summarization-chain.test.mjs.

Low

1. Hardcoded political context in LLM prompt will become incorrect over time. server/worldmonitor/news/v1/_shared.ts:117.

[SebastienMelki]

Addressing all review items — fix incoming

Working through every item in the review comment. Here's the plan:

Blocking (2)

1. Incorrect country fallback — Will return undefined (no data) when a countryCode has no ISO2→ISO3 mapping, instead of silently returning the wrong country's data. The getHumanitarianSummary handler will early-return when the requested country can't be resolved.
2. API contract mismatch (ISO-2 vs ISO-3) — Will fix country_code in the response to always return the original ISO-2 code as the proto declares, instead of the ISO-3 value.

High (2)

3. AIS snapshot caching regression — Adding 10-second in-memory cache + in-flight promise dedup to getVesselSnapshot, matching the old /api/ais-snapshot behavior and client poll interval.
4. Stubbed RPCs (silent no-ops) — listNewsItems, summarizeHeadlines, and listMilitaryVessels will throw UNIMPLEMENTED errors instead of returning empty data, so clients get a clear signal.

Medium (2)

5. Semantic mismatch in HAPI mapping — Renaming proto fields from misleading humanitarian names (population_affected, people_in_need, etc.) to accurate conflict-event names (conflict_events_total, conflict_political_violence_events, conflict_fatalities, etc.) since the data source is ACLED conflict events, not humanitarian data.
6. Deleted tests with no replacement — Creating tests/server-handlers.test.mjs covering: stub UNIMPLEMENTED errors, humanitarian summary contract (ISO-2 return, no wrong-country fallback), deduplication logic, cache key builder.

Low (1)

7. Hardcoded political context — Replacing the hardcoded "Donald Trump" string in the LLM prompt with a dynamic date-only context that lets the model use its own knowledge.

Commits will be atomic per logical group. Will push when done.

All review items addressed + dead code cleanup

@koala73 Pushed 4 commits addressing every item from your review:

Blocking (fixed)

• fa9403f — Wrong-country fallback eliminated (returns undefined instead of random country), country_code now always returns ISO-2 per proto contract, proto fields renamed from misleading humanitarian names to accurate conflict-event semantics

High (fixed)

• ab7b2c5 — AIS vessel snapshot now has 10s in-memory cache + in-flight promise dedup (matches old endpoint behavior)
• 840d659 — Stub RPCs throw UNIMPLEMENTED errors instead of silent empty returns

Medium + Low (fixed)

• 840d659 — 17 new regression tests in tests/server-handlers.test.mjs, hardcoded "Donald Trump" replaced with dynamic date context
• 1a568b0 — Went further and removed the 3 dead stub RPCs entirely (ListNewsItems, SummarizeHeadlines, ListMilitaryVessels) since nothing calls them. -1,204 lines of dead code gone.

Ready for re-review when you get a chance.

[koala73]

Findings

1. High – AIS snapshot now drops stale fallback. After SNAPSHOT_CACHE_TTL_MS expires, any relay failure returns snapshot: undefined even if a previous snapshot exists. This is a resilience regression vs the old /api/ais-snapshot behavior (which served stale memory/Redis on errors). Consider keeping the last snapshot on failure and/or restoring Redis caching. server/worldmonitor/maritime/v1/get-vessel-snapshot.ts:44.
2. Medium – HapiConflictSummary.iso3 is now populated with ISO‑2 (proto.countryCode). The field name and semantic don’t match, and any future usage expecting ISO‑3 will be wrong. Either rename to iso2 or map back to ISO‑3. src/services/conflict/index.ts:139.
3. Medium – HAPI fallback scoring underweights civilian targeting. eventsCivilianTargeting is always 0 while calcConflictScore still weights it separately, so HAPI-based fallback is lower than before. If split counts are no longer available, adjust the scoring formula or encode a derived split. src/services/conflict/index.ts:143, src/services/country-instability.ts:540.
4. Medium (Tests) – The headline dedup test reimplements the algorithm instead of calling the production deduplicateHeadlines, so regressions in _shared.ts won’t be caught. Prefer importing the real function (ts-node/tsx) or exposing a JS test helper. tests/server-handlers.test.mjs:124.

Tests

• Not run.

Open Questions

1. Is iso3 still needed in HapiConflictSummary, or should we rename to iso2 to align with the new proto?
2. Do you want AIS snapshot responses to preserve stale data on relay errors (as before), or is “blank on error” acceptable?

[SebastienMelki]

All 4 findings addressed in 4a79083:

1. (High) AIS snapshot stale fallback — fetchVesselSnapshot() now returns result ?? cachedSnapshot, so stale data is served on relay failure instead of undefined.

2. (Medium) iso3 → iso2 rename — HapiConflictSummary.iso3 renamed to .iso2 to match the actual ISO-2 content from the proto. No downstream code was reading .iso3 from the object (map keys are used for lookups), so this is a naming-only fix.

3. (Medium) HAPI fallback scoring — Since eventsCivilianTargeting is folded into eventsPoliticalViolence (HAPI doesn't split them), the formula now uses h.eventsPoliticalViolence * 3 (higher weight) instead of the split *2 + *3 that was always zeroing out the civilian term.

4. (Medium/Tests) Dedup test imports production code — Extracted deduplicateHeadlines to a shared dedup.mjs (plain JS, no deps), re-exported from _shared.ts. Test now imports the real function instead of reimplementing it.

All 17 tests pass, tsc --noEmit clean. Ready for re-review @koala73

[koala73]

@SebastienMelki please review :

One issue that will impact Tauri app

P2: OpenSky fallback to removed route — VALID, Medium Impact

api/opensky.js is deleted, but the client-side src/services/military-flights.ts:22 still falls back to /api/opensky when VITE_WS_RELAY_URL is unset. The client was not migrated to use the new sebuf RPC client. Production likely has VITE_WS_RELAY_URL set (so it's fine there), but tauri app / dev/staging environments without it will silently get no military flight data.
