Server Beta Parity Map

This document enumerates every legacy worker HTTP route under /api/ and records its status in the Server beta runtime (Phase 9 onwards).

Each row uses one of three statuses:

  • native — Server beta has its own implementation under /v1/* (or another non-legacy path) and clients should migrate to it.
  • adapter — A compatibility adapter under src/server/compat/* translates the legacy payload into a /v1/*-equivalent code path. Adapter response shapes preserve the worker's so existing clients keep working unchanged.
  • unsupported — The Server beta runtime intentionally does not serve the route. The reason is documented inline. Clients that need that surface must continue using the legacy worker runtime.

The Server beta runtime is selected via CLAUDE_MEM_RUNTIME=server-beta. The worker runtime remains the default for now.

Session lifecycle (legacy /api/sessions/*)

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
POST /api/sessions/initPOST /v1/sessions/start(no adapter — clients should call /v1/sessions/start directly)native*
POST /api/sessions/observationsPOST /v1/eventssrc/server/compat/SessionsObservationsAdapter.tsadapter
POST /api/sessions/summarizePOST /v1/sessions/:id/endsrc/server/compat/SessionsSummarizeAdapter.tsadapter
GET /api/sessions/statusGET /v1/sessions/:id(no adapter)native*

* native rows above mark routes whose canonical replacement exists under /v1/* but no automatic translation is provided. The legacy hook layer is expected to use the new client (ServerBetaClient) directly. Old worker clients that still POST /api/sessions/init against a Server beta port get a 404 — by design, since the contract differs (init implicitly created a session DB id, sessions/start returns a project-scoped server_session UUID).

Health and runtime info

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
GET /api/healthGET /api/health(none — same path)native
GET /api/infoGET /v1/info(none)native
GET /healthzGET /healthz(none — same path)native

/api/health is served by the shared Server class for both runtimes; the JSON payload includes runtime: "server-beta" when the Server beta runtime is active. /api/info is served by the worker runtime only and should be replaced by /v1/info for Server beta clients.

Search, context, and instructions

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
GET /api/searchPOST /v1/search(none)unsupported (legacy GET — see note 1)
GET /api/timeline(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/decisions(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/changes(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/how-it-works(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/search/observationsPOST /v1/search(none)unsupported (legacy shape; new clients use /v1/search)
GET /api/search/sessions(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/search/prompts(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/search/by-concept(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/search/by-file(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/search/by-type(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/context/recentPOST /v1/context(none)unsupported (legacy GET shape)
GET /api/context/timeline(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/context/preview(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/context/inject(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/context/semanticPOST /v1/context(none)unsupported
GET /api/onboarding/explainer(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/timeline/by-query(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/search/help(none yet)(none)unsupported

Note 1: legacy GET /api/search accepts query-string parameters and returns a denormalized SQLite-shaped result. The Server beta /v1/search POST API takes a JSON body {projectId, query, limit} and returns a normalized observation array. We deliberately do not adapt the legacy shape because (a) legacy callers are already in a phased migration to the MCP search tool which goes through /v1/search, (b) supporting the SQLite shape would require shimming a SQLite read layer back into the Postgres runtime, which contradicts the Phase 9 anti-pattern guard.

Memory write paths

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
POST /api/memory/savePOST /v1/memories(none)unsupported (legacy schema — new clients use /v1/memories)

Settings and runtime control

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
GET /api/settings(none — settings are env vars in server-beta)(none)unsupported
POST /api/settings(none — settings are env vars in server-beta)(none)unsupported
GET /api/mcp/statusGET /v1/info(none)unsupported (legacy shape)
POST /api/mcp/toggle(none — server-beta MCP is always on)(none)unsupported
GET /api/branch/status(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/branch/switch(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/branch/update(none yet)(none)unsupported

Settings in Server beta are environment variables and the API key surface in api_keys; there is no mutable user-settings JSON file. The branch routes were a worker-specific feature and are not exposed by Server beta.

Logs

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
GET /api/logs(none — server-beta logs to stdout)(none)unsupported
POST /api/logs/clear(none — log is append-only stream)(none)unsupported

Data viewer (read-only legacy data)

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
GET /api/observationsPOST /v1/search / /v1/context(none)unsupported (see note 2)
GET /api/summaries(none yet)(none)unsupported (note 2)
GET /api/prompts(none yet)(none)unsupported (note 2)
GET /api/observation/:id(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/observations/by-file(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/observations/batch(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/session/:idGET /v1/sessions/:id(none)unsupported (legacy shape)
POST /api/sdk-sessions/batch(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/prompt/:id(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/stats(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/projectsGET /v1/projects (planned)(none)unsupported
GET /api/processing-status(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/processing(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/import(none yet)(none)unsupported

Note 2: the legacy data viewer routes return SQLite-shaped rows joined across worker-specific tables (e.g. sdk_sessions.message_id). Server beta stores data in Postgres with a different normalized shape. Reproducing the legacy join shapes would require a translation layer that competes with the canonical /v1/* API. Out of scope for Phase 9. The viewer UI continues to use the worker's /api/* data routes for now; in Server beta-only deployments the viewer is expected to call /v1/* directly (planned for a follow-up phase). Listed as unsupported so that callers know they MUST run the worker runtime if they need the legacy SQLite data viewer.

Corpus and skills

Legacy pathNative server-beta replacementAdapterStatus
POST /api/corpus(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/corpus(none yet)(none)unsupported
GET /api/corpus/:name(none yet)(none)unsupported
DELETE /api/corpus/:name(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/rebuild(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/prime(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/query(none yet)(none)unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/reprime(none yet)(none)unsupported

Corpora are a Chroma-backed worker feature. The Server beta storage layer is Postgres-only. Migration of the corpus subsystem to Server beta is out of scope for Phase 9.

Chroma vector status

Anti-pattern guards (referenced in Phase 9)

The following grep MUST return zero matches:

rg -n "services/worker/http/routes|WorkerService" src/server/compat src/server/runtime
rg -n "from '.*services/worker" src/server/compat

Compat adapters live in src/server/compat/ and call only:

  • src/server/services/IngestEventsService.ts
  • src/server/services/EndSessionService.ts
  • src/storage/postgres/*
  • src/server/middleware/postgres-auth.ts

They never reach into worker route classes, the worker DatabaseManager, or the WorkerService — which is the load-bearing decoupling Phase 9 enforces.
