# Upload API Implementation Notes

This file has no active implementation tasks for the pipeline-scoped upload API.

Current behavior is documented in:

- `docs/config.md`
- `docs/integrations/http-upload.md`
- `docs/consumers/api.md`
- `docs/consumers/pkg-upload.md`
- `docs/operations.md`
- `docs/troubleshooting.md`

Deferred API work is tracked in `docs/roadmap/api.md` and broader deferred work is tracked in `docs/roadmap/future.md`.

## Boundaries

- Keep producer routing, destination selection, transform policy, publish policy, transfer policy, and backend credentials out of source manifests.
- Keep `pkg/upload` focused on producer-side bundle submission and status polling.
- Keep server-side upload authentication, authorization, queueing, status, and publish orchestration in `internal/app`.
- Keep archive extraction and staged bundle validation in `internal/ingest`.
- Keep durable status, durable idempotency, retry endpoints, cancellation endpoints, and wait helpers out of the current implementation until a new roadmap item defines them.
