Den API

Hono-based Den control plane implementation (den-api, formerly den-controller).

This package is the active Den control plane implementation.

It carries the full migrated Den API route surface in a foldered Hono structure so agents can navigate one area at a time without scanning the whole service.

Quick start

pnpm --filter @openwork-ee/den-api dev:local

Current routes

  • GET / -> 302 https://openworklabs.com
  • GET /health
  • Better Auth mount at /api/auth/*
  • desktop handoff routes under /v1/auth/*
  • current user routes under /v1/me*
  • organization routes under /v1/orgs*
  • admin routes under /v1/admin*
  • worker lifecycle and billing routes under /v1/workers*

Folder map

  • src/routes/auth/: Better Auth mount + desktop handoff endpoints
  • src/routes/me/: current user and current user's org resolution routes
  • src/routes/org/: organization CRUD-ish surfaces, split by area
  • src/routes/admin/: admin-only reporting endpoints
  • src/routes/workers/: worker lifecycle, billing, runtime, and heartbeat endpoints
  • src/middleware/: reusable Hono middleware for auth context, org context, teams, and validation

Each major folder also has its own README.md so future agents can inspect one area in isolation.

TypeID validation

  • Shared Den TypeID validation lives in ee/packages/utils/src/typeid.ts.
  • Use typeId.schema("...") or the compatibility helpers like normalizeDenTypeId("...", value) when an endpoint accepts or returns a Den TypeID.
  • ee/apps/den-api/src/openapi.ts exposes denTypeIdSchema(...) so path params, request bodies, and response fields all share the same validation rules and Swagger examples.
  • Swagger now documents Den IDs with their required prefix and fixed 26-character TypeID suffix, so invalid IDs fail request validation before route logic runs.

Migration approach

  1. Keep den-api (formerly den-controller) as the source of truth for Den control-plane behavior.
  2. Add endpoints in focused Hono route groups one surface at a time.
  3. Reuse shared middleware and Zod validators instead of duplicating request/session/org plumbing.
  4. Leave a short README in each route area when the structure changes so later agents can recover context fast.
