+### Canvas V2 contract
+
+Contract version: `canvas-v2-2026-11-06`. These routes are implemented on the
+Canvas V2 work branch; they become available after that branch is reviewed,
+merged and deployed. Do not infer production availability from this document.
+
+`B` below means `/projects/{project}/workspaces/{workspace}/materials/{board}/canvas`.
+Workspace and board path segments accept canonical UUIDs or existing slugs.
+Responses and child relationships use canonical IDs. Authentication is the
+existing **user session Bearer token**, with inherited material/workspace
+permissions; the old project Codex service token is not accepted as a user login.
+Reader/viewer accounts may read; mutations require editor/admin access.
+The existing 30-day idle renewal and 90-day absolute session expiry are unchanged.
+
+#### Snapshot compatibility and bounds
+
+Use `Accept: application/vnd.foundry.canvas+json;version=2` for V2 clients.
+GET remains `{version,document}`; PATCH accepts `{document}` and returns `{version}`.
+The actual schema is in `document.schema_version` and `X-Canvas-Schema-Version`;
+`ETag: "N"` is the independent canvas version. PATCH requires `If-Match: "N"`:
+missing versions return 428, stale versions return 412 with zero writes.
+V1 is still supported. Once a board is V2, legacy GET/PATCH and schema downgrades
+return 409 `canvas_schema_upgrade_required`; no lossy V1 projection is returned.
+GET does not create or migrate child boards.
+
+Each canvas permits 500 nodes, 2,000 edges and 5 MiB of snapshot request data.
+Coordinates and control vectors are finite, within ±1,000,000. Ordinary node
+width/height are 20–3,000; V2 frame dimensions are 32–100,000. Ephemeral selection,
+dragging, measured geometry and editor gesture state are not saved.
+
+V2 edges preserve typed `data.appearance`, `animation`, `path` and `execution`:
+
+| Field | Values / bounds |
+| --- | --- |
+| appearance | six-digit hex color; width 0.5–20; opacity 0.05–1; solid/dashed/dotted |
+| head / tail | none/open-arrow/triangle/circle/diamond/square; size 4–32; boolean filled |
+| animation | off/always/executing; flow/dash/pulse; forward/reverse; durationMs 250–30,000; hex color |
+| path | bezier-chain; optional startControl/endControl; up to 64 ordered, uniquely identified knots |
+| knot | position and relative in/out vectors; corner/smooth/symmetric; collinearity/length tolerance 1e-6 |
+| execution.enabled | boolean; omitted means enabled; animation direction does not reverse dependencies |
+
+Omitted appearance/animation fields remain omitted and use the original client
+defaults (color `#AA968B`, width 1.5, solid, no markers, animation off).
+No arbitrary CSS, SVG path strings, marker URLs or callbacks are accepted.
+Text/script/image/plain-text/plain-image nodes can connect; icons cannot.
+Frames connect through declared `port:<id>` handles, including nested port chains.
+
+`GET B/capabilities` reports schema versions, actual worker availability and
+limits. A configured catalog alone does not imply that every model can generate
+images: image variants are enabled only for backend models explicitly verified
+by the operator.
+
+#### Subgraphs and cross-canvas transactions
+
+Each linked frame owns one child board in the same project/workspace. The maximum
+nesting depth is eight. The parent stores the frame and boundary edges; member
+nodes and internal edges have exactly one owner, the child canvas. Child reads
+and writes inherit the parent chain, including when addressed directly by ID.
+Material lists omit child boards by default; `include_subgraphs=true` includes
+accessible children with `parent_board_id` and `frame_id`.
+
+Frame data retains `subgraph.boardId`, `ports`, and presentation:
+`collapsed`, `contentScale` (0.05–4), `expandedSize`, `collapsedSize`.
+Collapsing/scaling presentation does not rewrite child content. Projection is
+`frame.position + (24,36) + contentScale * child.position`; viewport is independent.
+
+| Route | Required input / behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| POST B/subgraphs | Parent If-Match; `{frame:{id,title,position,width,height,labelMode}}`; returns 201, child_board, parent/child snapshots and receipt |
+| POST B/subgraphs/{frame}/members | `{source_board_id,target_board_id,node_ids,expected_versions}`; parent/child or siblings coordinated by their common parent |
+| POST B/subgraphs/{frame}/dissolve | `{expected_versions}`; preserves content in the parent and archives the emptied child |
+| POST B/subgraphs/migrate | `{dry_run:true}` creates no data; returns plan_id, digest, parent version and explicit members/edges/issues |
+| POST B/subgraphs/migrate | `{dry_run:false,plan_id}` plus parent If-Match; stale plans return 412 |
+| POST B/transactions/{id}/undo | `{expected_versions}`; restores snapshots and relationships atomically, increments current versions |
+
+All mutating commands above require a UUID `Idempotency-Key` (case-insensitive).
+Scope is project/workspace/user/resource/action. Canonical payload retries return
+the same operation; a different payload returns 409 `idempotency_conflict`.
+Records remain available for at least 24 hours. Read-only migration preflight
+requires editor/admin but does not require an idempotency key or create a plan row.
+
+`expected_versions` must include **every modified canvas**, including an ancestor
+whose boundary port must change and child canvases whose ownership changes.
+Missing versions return 428; any stale version returns 412 before commit.
+All snapshots, versions, relationships, idempotency and receipt records share a
+single SQL transaction. Boundary edges retain their IDs/styles/paths; ports are
+stable and deduplicated. Node ID collisions and graph capacity errors reject the
+entire command. Ordinary PATCH cannot detach linked frames, retarget ownership
+or remove nodes still referenced across a boundary.
+
+Undo receipts have an absolute `expires_at` and a seven-day lifetime; retries do
+not extend it. Expired undo returns 409 `undo_receipt_expired`. Undo also checks
+recorded after-state and current relationships, so incompatible edits return 412.
+Undoing a later operation can restore a compatible state for an earlier undo
+without resetting version counters. Redo uses the original command and a new key.
+
+Migration considers only explicit legacy `frameId` membership, including empty
+frames. It preserves internal and boundary edges, image references and styling,
+converts coordinates/control points, and skips already linked frames. Original
+snapshots and mapping data remain in the operation record for rollback.
+
+#### Assets
+
+`POST /projects/{project}/workspaces/{workspace}/assets` takes one multipart part
+named `image` (or `file`) and an Idempotency-Key. PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF are decoded,
+not trusted by filename. The limit is 20 MiB and 40 million decoded pixels.
+The response is `{id,mime_type,bytes,width,height,url}`. PostgreSQL stores the
+encoded object, metadata and bindings atomically.
+
+`GET .../assets/{id}` requires a user session and returns the actual image bytes
+with the detected MIME and `nosniff`. Unbound objects are readable only by their
+uploader or workspace admins; bound objects require access to an owning material
+through its current parent chain. URLs are stable HTTPS application URLs, never
+worker files or expiring signed URLs. Browser integrations should use an
+authenticated fetch/proxy; do not persist temporary blob URLs in snapshots.
+`data.assetId` is optional when `src` is already a stable managed URL. Moves,
+dissolve and undo retain bindings; referenced images are not prematurely collected.
+
+AI image inputs are frozen as authorized asset references. Existing inline images
+and public HTTPS node images can be validated and frozen by Core. Fetches enforce
+HTTPS, DNS/IP checks, bounded redirects/bytes/time, and reject private, loopback,
+link-local and cloud metadata addresses. The worker receives validated bytes over
+private Unix IPC, not arbitrary external download instructions.
+
+#### AI models and runs
+
+`GET B/ai/models` returns opaque IDs derived from the worker's real CLI catalog,
+modalities, availability, input/timeout bounds and parameter schemas. Current CLI
+variants expose an empty parameter object with `additionalProperties:false`;
+raw CLI arguments and unknown parameters are rejected. No token, auth file, raw
+CLI output or service configuration is included in browser responses.
+
+Node `data.ai` stores enabled/modelId/prompt/propagate/parameters. Prompt length
+is at most 16,000 characters; parameters encode to at most 16 KiB. Global AI panel
+state, tool position and animation progress are client state, not snapshot data.
+
+| Route | Input / result |
+| --- | --- |
+| POST B/ai/runs | If-Match + Idempotency-Key; `{node_id,model_id,prompt,parameters,propagate}`; returns 202 with run_id, poll_url, plan, canvas_version and ETag |
+| GET B/ai/runs/{id} | after_seq >= 0, limit 1–100; status, plan, steps, events, next_seq, has_more, output metadata and applied_versions |
+| GET B/ai/runs | status=active or a terminal status; include_descendants=true/false; limit 1–50; opaque next_cursor |
+| POST B/ai/runs/{id}/cancel | Idempotency-Key; empty object/body; returns preserved applied steps and cancelled steps |
+| POST B/ai/runs/{id}/apply | If-Match + Idempotency-Key; `{node_id,output_id}`; explicitly applies retained conflict output to its current target canvas |
+
+Run admission atomically saves node configuration, increments the canvas version,
+freezes the plan/fingerprints and records the task and key. A node has at most one
+active step; another key targeting a busy node returns 409 `node_busy`. Queue
+capacity is 128 active runs per project (429 `queue_full` with Retry-After).
+Admission body is at most 256 KiB. Assembled model text is at most 1 MiB; inputs
+allow four distinct images totaling 20 MiB. Text timeout is 90 seconds; verified
+image variants use 180 seconds. The old `/codex/exec` limits remain unchanged.
+
+Propagation is opt-in. It resolves nested ports to logical nodes, rejects cycles
+and plans over 64 steps/depth 32 before invoking the worker, and stops at
+unconfigured nodes. A topological schedule runs each node once; diamond joins
+wait for every participating predecessor. Other referenced inputs are frozen
+from their original snapshots. Incoming logical edge IDs order inputs stably.
+Only connected canvases/port chains/static inputs are read, not every child board.
+
+Runs persist across HTTP disconnects and Core restarts. Queue leases serialize
+execution; expired uncertain executions fail with `execution_interrupted` rather
+than being silently reissued. A worker's explicit pre-execution busy response is
+safe to requeue, with completed predecessor results recovered from the database.
+
+Worker output updates only current target text or src/assetId in a SQL transaction.
+Node identity, dimensions, position, title and styling are retained. Content/AI
+configuration changes produce conflict and retain the output; geometry-only edits
+do not. Deletion, recreation, kind/ownership changes, revoked permission or cancel
+prevent late writes. Image output must be an actual decoded managed image;
+textual URLs are never accepted as completed image generation.
+
+Events have monotonic per-run seq values and are replayable through polling.
+Run states: queued/running/succeeded/partially_succeeded/failed/cancelled/conflict.
+Step states additionally include skipped. Edge active/completed/failed/skipped
+events drive execution-only animation; reverse visual animation does not reverse
+execution. Cancellation commits terminal step states before acknowledging, retains
+already applied results, and stops the worker through request cancellation at its
+next heartbeat. It never implicitly rolls back applied output.
+
+Text output is capped at 100,000 characters; failures keep original content.
+Poll event pages are bounded to 100 events and approximately 800 KiB of event data.
+Output metadata includes output IDs and image asset metadata; text content patches
+are in replayable step.output/step.applied events. Runs/events are retained for at
+least 30 days; referenced assets have no automatic destructive cleanup.
+
+Errors use `{error,message?,details?,request_id?}`. Important statuses include
+400 invalid_canvas/invalid_ai_request, 409 schema/idempotency/ownership/cycle
+conflicts, 412 version_conflict, 428 version_required, 413 graph/context/asset
+limits, 422 model_unavailable/model_incompatible and 429 queue_full. Asynchronous
+generation failures are terminal step/run results, not successful empty content.
+
+#### Remote verification and deployment
+
+Normal `ces-control` CI runs formatting, tests, builds, migration checks and
+isolated PostgreSQL integration tests. `deploy/check-canvas-real.sh bin/foundry`
+is an explicit remote-runner-only real-model verification; it does not run in
+normal CI. Set `FOUNDRY_CANVAS_IMAGE_MODELS` to backend names already verified for
+image output. The check starts a temporary CLI worker and database and removes
+both afterwards; the Core/test container never receives CLI login files.
+
+On 2026-11-06, the isolated real check succeeded with text model
+`codex-18061daa6ba6e3a576dda453d0df839f` and image variant
+`codex-42cfda1d607e416417a1a0ac5c73d437`, backed by the installed CLI's
+`gpt-6.1-sol`. The image decoded as PNG, 1254×1254, 857,723 bytes. These are
+verification observations, not a hardcoded catalog or a production deployment
+claim; temporary run/asset records were cleaned up. Always query the live catalog.
+
+For production, the worker can load operator-controlled `codex/canvas.env` with
+`FOUNDRY_CANVAS_IMAGE_MODELS` containing verified backend names. Replace the worker
+with the reviewed Linux build through the normal deployment process, apply the
+numbered migrations and confirm capabilities before migrating a real canvas.
+
+The user-selected migration target is the board addressed by workspace slug
+`workspace-8d775c90-74c9-4109-a1ad-6d0ad3a00ac7` and board slug
+`canvas-a9f9a985-e99a-43eb-b088-7edc9301452f`. Production migration remains pending
+manual PR merge/deployment. Resolve canonical IDs, take a read-only preflight,
+execute only its current plan, and record before/after versions, frame/child IDs,
+counts and authenticated V2 rereads. Do not migrate other account resources or let
+a legacy client overwrite the migrated board.
+
+#### Reproducible session API examples
+
+These examples require Bash, curl and jq, an editor/admin login session, and an
+explicitly selected board. Set `SESSION_TOKEN` in memory; use the user session,
+never the legacy Codex service token. Run mutations only on a board intended for
+V2 testing. Each successful mutation changes versions: reread before the next
+operation. Reuse the same key and identical body when retrying an operation.
+
+```bash
+API=https://api.foundry.entroia.com
+PROJECT=your-project
+WORKSPACE=your-workspace-id-or-slug
+BOARD=your-board-id-or-slug
+B="$API/projects/$PROJECT/workspaces/$WORKSPACE/materials/$BOARD/canvas"

+# Save an unchanged document, explicitly upgrading the envelope to V2.
+payload=$(jq '{document:(.document | .schema_version=2)}' <<<"$snapshot")
+api -X PATCH "$B" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -H "If-Match: \"$version\"" --data-binary "$payload"

+plan=$(api -X POST "$B/subgraphs/migrate" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  --data '{"dry_run":true}')
+printf '%s\n' "$plan" | jq .
+```
+
+After reviewing that preflight, execute precisely its returned plan with a new
+UUID key and the unchanged parent version. Any intervening change returns 412;
+repeat preflight instead of forcing a stale migration.
+
+```bash
+version=$(api "$B" | jq -r '.version')
+migrate_key=$(uuidgen)
+payload=$(jq '{dry_run:false,plan_id:.plan_id}' <<<"$plan")

+# Supply existing eligible node IDs from the selected board.

+run_node() {
+  local node="$1" model="$2" propagate="$3" prompt="$4" version key payload
+  test -n "$model" || { printf 'No available model for this modality\n' >&2; return 1; }
+  version=$(api "$B" | jq -r '.version')
+  key=$(uuidgen)
+  payload=$(jq -n --arg node "$node" --arg model "$model" --arg prompt "$prompt" \
+    --argjson propagate "$propagate" \
+    '{node_id:$node,model_id:$model,prompt:$prompt,parameters:{},propagate:$propagate}')
+  api -X POST "$B/ai/runs" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+    -H "If-Match: \"$version\"" -H "Idempotency-Key: $key" --data-binary "$payload"
+}
+text_run=$(run_node "$TEXT_NODE" "$TEXT_MODEL" false 'Summarize this content')
+run_id=$(jq -r '.run_id' <<<"$text_run")
+api "$B/ai/runs/$run_id?after_seq=0&limit=100"
+api "$B/ai/runs?status=active&include_descendants=true&limit=50"
+```
+
+Wait for a terminal status before starting another run on the same node. Continue
+polling from `next_seq` while `has_more` is true, then retain the cursor for the
+next poll. Image generation and propagation use the same asynchronous contract:
+
+```bash
+image_run=$(run_node "$IMAGE_NODE" "$IMAGE_MODEL" false 'Generate an image from this reference')
+image_run_id=$(jq -r '.run_id' <<<"$image_run")
+api "$B/ai/runs/$image_run_id?after_seq=0&limit=100"
+# Once succeeded, outputs[].output.src is an authenticated managed image URL.
+# Fetch that URL with api and --output to verify the actual image bytes.
+# Configure downstream node data.ai and execution edges before propagation.
+propagated_run=$(run_node "$TEXT_NODE" "$TEXT_MODEL" true 'Transform and propagate')
+api "$B/ai/runs/$(jq -r '.run_id' <<<"$propagated_run")?after_seq=0&limit=100"
+```
+
+The live catalog, rather than the isolated verification IDs above, determines
+whether each request can run. A 202 response acknowledges a queued job; use its
+terminal status and authenticated canvas/asset rereads as completion evidence.
