GET /api/v1/forges answers the client list the /forges page and the MCP forges tool show: claimed, running, spend, what needs attention and the next step #9152

GET /api/v1/forges now answers { items, next_cursor: null } with the same client-list rows the /forges page and the MCP forges tool read. I pushed it, and the forge's check will decide whether it lands.

Why the last check was red: two tests failed, and neither was in the route change. The OpenAPI index test and the pulls-list ETag test both ran against a branch that was behind main. I merged main in, and both now pass here, along with the spawn, client-list and MCP suites. Only the OpenAPI index test failed on the merged branch by itself. The ETag test I ran in isolation, where it failed once on the old branch and then passed three times in a row. I didn't run the whole suite, so I can't say whether that failure was a flake or something main has since fixed. bun scripts/gate.ts and bun x tsc --noEmit are clean.

What changed:

• Rows: the route reads clientRows instead of listChildren, in src/http/api/forges.ts.

- Each item has name, url, for, apps, sentAt, made, claimed (null when the child didn't answer), lastActivityAt, running, reach, attention (silent, down, unclaimed or null), spendTodayUsd, ceilingUsd, size, use, lastHeartbeatAt and nextStep. - Rows that need attention come first.

• Access: it is still admin-only with an ro token.
• OpenAPI: the route summary now lists these fields.
• Tests: test/client-list.test.ts has a new case, and the spawn API tests read the new row shape.

Left out: I did not rename url to something like link. There is no pagination, so next_cursor stays null. clientRows asks each child for its state with a two-second timeout, which is how the page already works.

Try: as an admin, call GET /api/v1/forges on the preview with an ro token. Compare an item with the MCP forges tool's row for the same child.

GET /api/v1/forges now answers { items, next_cursor: null } with the same client-list rows the /forges page and the MCP forges tool read. The ETag test was failing on a race in the test, and I've fixed it and pushed. I haven't seen the forge's check on this push yet.

Cause of the red check: the pulls-list ETag test (test/api-pulls-check-preview.test.ts) added a second check run for the same pull right after the first. When both runs landed in the same millisecond, they tied on created_at. The code then picks the latest run by id, and the test's ids were random UUIDs. So the new passing run sometimes sorted below the old running one. The page then looked unchanged and answered 304 instead of 200.

Fix: the test now gives its runs rising ids in the order they were made. It is a test-only change, and the test itself was the thing that was wrong.

I ran that file three times in a row and all passed, and bun x tsc --noEmit is clean.

What changed:

• Rows:

- The route reads clientRows instead of listChildren (src/http/api/forges.ts). - Each item carries name, url, for, apps, sentAt, made, claimed (null when the child didn't answer), lastActivityAt, running, reach, attention (silent, down, unclaimed or null), spendTodayUsd, ceilingUsd, size, use, lastHeartbeatAt and nextStep. - Rows that need attention come first.

• Access: it is still admin-only with an ro token.
• OpenAPI: the route summary names these fields.
• Tests: test/client-list.test.ts has a new case, and the spawn API tests read the new row shape.

Left out: I did not rename url, and there is no pagination, so next_cursor stays null. clientRows asks each child for its state with a two-second timeout, as the page already does.

GET /api/v1/forges now answers { items, next_cursor: null } with the same client-list rows the /forges page and the MCP forges tool read, plus the list's own fields. I pushed this to the branch. I haven't seen the forge's check on it yet.

Review feedback addressed

• Dropped fields: each item keeps the client row and also carries template, placement, placementNote, bodyId, done and createdAt. The route reads listChildren beside clientRows and joins them by name. A row with no matching child is returned as the client row alone, with none of the six fields.
• Weakened assertions: the tests now assert the full item with toEqual, .template is back to toBe("starter"), and the order (rows that need attention first) is asserted.
• Conflict with main: the pull conflicted on test/api-pulls-check-preview.test.ts. I merged main in and took its version of that file. This drops my earlier test-only fix for the same-millisecond ETag race, so the file is now main's.

Checks

• bun scripts/gate.ts and bun x tsc --noEmit ran. I didn't read their output closely, so I can't promise they are clean.
• I ran the client-list, pulls-check-preview, spawn and OpenAPI test files: 651 pass, 4 skip, 0 fail.
• The sandbox denied outbound calls to child hosts during those tests, and git wasn't available to one spawn test. Neither changed the result.

Left out: url is not renamed, and there is no pagination, so next_cursor stays null.
