+## Request Processing Order
+
+Requests are processed in this order:
+1. `api_enabled` gate (`503 api_disabled` if disabled).
+2. Source IP whitelist gate (`403 forbidden`).
+3. `Authorization` header gate when configured (`401 unauthorized`).
+4. Route and method matching (`404 not_found` or `405 method_not_allowed`).
+5. `read_only` gate for mutating routes (`403 read_only`).
+6. Request body read/limit/JSON decode (`413 payload_too_large`, `400 bad_request`).
+7. Business validation and config write path.
+
+Notes:
+- Whitelist is evaluated against the direct TCP peer IP (`SocketAddr::ip`), without `X-Forwarded-For` support.
+- `Authorization` check is exact string equality against configured `auth_header`.

+## Body and JSON Semantics
+
+- Request body is read only for mutating routes that define a body contract.
+- Body size limit is enforced during streaming read (`413 payload_too_large`).
+- Invalid transport body frame returns `400 bad_request` (`Invalid request body`).
+- Invalid JSON returns `400 bad_request` (`Invalid JSON body`).
+- `Content-Type` is not required for JSON parsing.
+- Unknown JSON fields are ignored by deserialization.
+- `PATCH` updates only provided fields and does not support explicit clearing of optional fields.
+- `If-Match` supports both quoted and unquoted values; surrounding whitespace is trimmed.

+- Error responses never include `revision`; they include `request_id`.
+- Optional fields with `skip_serializing_if` are omitted when absent.

+- For `/v1/stats/upstreams`, authentication details of SOCKS upstreams are intentionally omitted.
 
 ## Operational Notes
 
 | Topic | Details |
 | --- | --- |
-| API startup | API binds only when `[server.api].enabled=true`. |
+| API startup | API listener is spawned only when `[server.api].enabled=true`. |
-| Restart requirements | Changes in `server.api` settings require process restart. |
+| `listen` port `0` | API spawn is skipped when parsed listen port is `0` (treated as disabled bind target). |
+| Bind failure | Failed API bind logs warning and API task exits (no auto-retry loop). |
+| ME runtime status endpoints | `/v1/stats/me-writers`, `/v1/stats/dcs`, `/v1/stats/minimal/all` require `[server.api].minimal_runtime_enabled=true`; otherwise they return disabled payload with `reason=feature_disabled`. |
+| Upstream runtime endpoint | `/v1/stats/upstreams` always returns `zero`, but runtime fields (`summary`, `upstreams`) require `[server.api].minimal_runtime_enabled=true`. |
+| Restart requirements | `server.api` changes are restart-required for predictable behavior. |
+| Hot-reload nuance | A pure `server.api`-only config change may not propagate through watcher broadcast; a mixed change (with hot fields) may propagate API flags while still warning that restart is required. |
 | Runtime apply path | Successful writes are picked up by existing config watcher/hot-reload path. |
 | Exposure | Built-in TLS/mTLS is not provided. Use loopback bind + reverse proxy if needed. |
 | Pagination | User list currently has no pagination/filtering. |
 | Serialization side effect | Config comments/manual formatting are not preserved on write. |
+
+## Known Limitations (Current Release)
+
+- `POST /v1/users/{username}/rotate-secret` is currently unreachable in route matcher and returns `404`.
+- API runtime controls under `server.api` are documented as restart-required; hot-reload behavior for these fields is not strictly uniform in all change combinations.
