# Governance Registries

These registries describe the approved product surface of the modular preservation candidate.

- `pages.config.json`: primary page identity, navigation group, access expectation, scrolling,
  and mobile composition policy.
- `features.config.json`: feature ownership, backend access class, data scope, and availability.
- `api.config.json`: current routes generated from the preserved `server.py` API surface, with
  one feature owner and backend access class per route. Its dispatcher implementation lives in
  `backend/application.py`.
- `architecture-inventory.json`: generated inventory of candidate pages, routes, tables,
  providers, model entry points, CSS layers, and remaining code hotspots.
- `data-fields.config.json`: canonical data products, provider eligibility, intended use, and
  known blocked datasets.
- `data-quality.config.json`: freshness, coverage, units, adjustment, point-in-time, and
  fail-closed rules for every canonical data product.
- `jobs.config.json`: background schedules, dependencies, lock keys, retry policy, timeouts,
  and output versions.

The registries are governance contracts, not substitutes for runtime authorization. Backend
access in `backend/http/routes.py` is authoritative; frontend visibility is only a presentation
concern and never grants access.

Regenerate the transitional API inventory after a route change:

```shell
python tools/build_api_registry.py
python tools/build_api_registry.py --check
python tools/build_architecture_inventory.py
python tools/build_architecture_inventory.py --check
```
