 # Changelog

+## Pending
+
+
+## 2026-05-21 - 13.34.0
+
+### Features
+
+- allow VPN target profiles to grant routes by live client source IP (vpn)
+  - Add an opt-in target profile flag that evaluates non-vpnOnly route source security against the VPN client's real connecting IP.
+  - Track live VPN client source IPs from smartvpn remote addresses and WireGuard peer endpoints, refreshing routes when they change.
+  - Expose the setting and current source IPs in the Ops UI with regression coverage for source-IP matching behavior.
+- allow target profiles to grant non-vpnOnly routes by live client source IP (vpn)
+  - add an opt-in target profile flag to match route source security against a VPN client's real connecting IP
+  - track live client source IPs from VPN remote addresses and WireGuard peer endpoints and re-apply routes when they change
+  - expose source IP access settings and current client source IPs through the ops API and UI
+  - add regression tests for source-IP route matching, block-list handling, vpnOnly exclusions, and WireGuard endpoint refresh
+
+## 2026-05-21 - 13.33.0
+
+### Features
+
+- add queued IP intelligence observation and filtered retrieval for network and security views (security)
+  - Queue observed public IPs from network metrics with throttled background enrichment instead of awaiting lookups during stats collection.
+  - Allow listing IP intelligence records by specific IP addresses and limit through the security handler and request interface.
+  - Update web app state to refresh IP intelligence asynchronously in the background and preserve current UI state during refreshes.
+  - Improve security policy manager observation handling so forced refresh waits for in-flight lookups before fetching updated intelligence.
+
+## 2026-05-20 - 13.32.1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- tighten admin bootstrap behavior when the database is unavailable and include wildcard VPN profile matches in route access rules (opsserver,vpn)
+  - Block ephemeral admin bootstrap login and user listing until the configured database is ready, and report bootstrap availability accurately in admin status responses.
+  - Preserve persisted admin accounts across OpsServer restarts with added regression coverage.
+  - Merge matching VPN client IPs into restricted non-vpnOnly route allow lists without duplicating entries.
+  - Handle string and wildcard route domains consistently when resolving target profile access and VPN client matches.
+
+## 2026-05-19 - 13.32.0
+
+### Features
+
+- add scoped API token auth across ops endpoints (ops-auth)
+  - introduces a shared requireOpsAuth helper that validates JWT identities and API tokens with scope and admin-policy checks
+  - applies explicit per-endpoint authorization across config, logs, stats, security, VPN, RADIUS, remote ingress, users, API tokens, and related ops handlers
+  - extends request interfaces and UI scope definitions to support apiToken-based access and adds tests for auth behavior and migration bridging
+
+## 2026-05-19 - 13.31.0
+
+### Features
+
+- add admin user create/delete management and default hosted idp.global auth support (opsserver)
+  - adds admin-only createUser and deleteUser typed requests with safeguards against deleting the current user or last active admin
+  - updates the ops users UI to create and delete users, show richer account details, and support optional idp.global login during account creation
+  - treats idp.global as available by default via the hosted https://idp.global endpoint while keeping URL settings as optional overrides
+  - adds VPN-only route controls and indicators in the ops routes UI
+
+## 2026-05-18 - 13.30.0
+
+### Features
+
+- document first-admin bootstrap flow and update authentication examples (docs)
+  - Add README guidance for explicit initial admin creation on DB-backed instances across the main package, API client, interfaces, and web dashboard docs.
+  - Update authentication examples to use persisted admin email/password credentials instead of the old default admin login.
+  - Refresh dependency versions in package.json to align documentation with current package releases.
+
+## 2026-05-14 - 13.29.1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- enable npm publishing in smartconfig (smartconfig)
+  - Sets the npm integration flag to true in .smartconfig.json
+  - Keeps the configured Verdaccio and npmjs registries unchanged
+
+## 2026-05-14 - 13.29.0
+
+### Fixes
+
+- harden VPN route access and wireguard client configuration handling (vpn)
+  - Fail closed for vpnOnly routes when no VPN client IPs are available by replacing allow lists and enforcing a block-all fallback
+  - Refresh route application and VPN client security after target profile creation so profile changes take effect immediately
+  - Validate vpnConfig.serverEndpoint, require persisted config managers for VPN startup, and normalize WireGuard AllowedIPs during client creation, export, and key rotation
+  - Switch smartvpn server setup to wireguard transport with a localhost-only listener and await async server stop operations consistently
+
+### Features
+
+- add persisted admin bootstrap flow with optional idp.global authentication (opsserver-admin)
+  - introduces bootstrap status and initial admin creation endpoints for OpsServer
+  - switches admin authentication from ephemeral-only users to database-backed accounts when a persistent admin exists
+  - adds optional idp.global login support for admin accounts and exposes auth source metadata in user listings
+  - updates the web dashboard to prompt creation of the first persisted admin account
+  - adds integration coverage for bootstrap, persisted login, identity invalidation, and user listing behavior

+
+## 2026-05-09 - 13.27.1 - fix(docker)
+configure pnpm to use the verdaccio registry during Docker builds
+
+- Adds a pnpm registry configuration step before dependency installation in the Dockerfile.
+- Ensures container builds resolve packages from the configured Verdaccio registry.
+
+## 2026-05-09 - 13.27.0 - feat(api-token-manager)
+seed and rotate the environment-managed admin API token during initialization
+
+- Add initialization support for DCROUTER_ADMIN_API_TOKEN with validation, persistence, and admin policy assignment

 # @serve.zone/dcrouter

-![dcrouter banner](https://code.foss.global/serve.zone/docs/raw/branch/main/dcrouter.png)
-
-`dcrouter` is a TypeScript control plane for running a serious multi-protocol edge or datacenter gateway from one process. It orchestrates HTTP/HTTPS and TCP routing through SmartProxy, email through smartmta, authoritative DNS and DNS-over-HTTPS, RADIUS, remote ingress tunnels, VPN access control, a typed Ops API, and a web dashboard.
-
-It is built for operators who want one place to define routes, expose services, manage certificates, register domains and DNS providers, control VPN-only access, and inspect what is going on in production.
+`dcrouter` is the serve.zone datacenter gateway runtime: a TypeScript control plane that brings HTTP/HTTPS/TCP routing, email ingress, authoritative DNS, RADIUS, VPN access control, remote ingress tunnels, certificate operations, metrics, and an Ops dashboard into one process.

-## Why dcrouter
+## Why It Exists

- 🌐 Run HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/SNI, email, DNS, RADIUS, VPN, and remote ingress from one orchestrated service.
- 🔐 Keep certificates, routes, tokens, domains, and reusable route references in one management plane.
- 🧠 Use system-managed routes for config-, email-, and DNS-derived traffic, plus API-managed routes for dynamic additions.
- 📊 Get an Ops UI and TypedRequest API for monitoring, automation, and day-2 operations.
- ⚡ Lean on Rust-backed data planes where it matters: proxying, DNS, email delivery, remote ingress, and VPN.
+Modern infrastructure often has too many tiny edge tools: a proxy here, a DNS daemon there, a separate cert worker, another dashboard, and a tunnel process bolted on later. `dcrouter` is designed as a cohesive gateway layer for operators who want one audited place to define public routes, domains, edge tunnels, access policy, and operational state.

-## What It Covers

-Once the router is running, you can:
+After startup:

- open the Ops dashboard on `http://localhost:3000`
- inspect the route in the System Routes view
- add API-managed routes through the dashboard or API client
- enable DNS, email, VPN, remote ingress, or RADIUS by adding the corresponding config blocks
+- open the dashboard at `http://localhost:3000`
+- complete the first-admin bootstrap flow if no persisted admin account exists yet
+- send proxied traffic to `http://localhost:18080`
+- stop gracefully with `await router.stop()`

-## Mental Model
+## Initial Admin Bootstrap

-`dcrouter` is not a toy reverse proxy with a few side features. It is an orchestrator that wires multiple specialized services into one management plane.
+When DB-backed persistence is enabled and no persisted admin exists, dcrouter does not auto-create an admin account. The Ops dashboard exposes a non-cancelable first-admin bootstrap flow that must be completed explicitly.

-| Layer | Responsibility |
-| --- | --- |
-| `DcRouter` | Startup order, shutdown, service wiring, configuration assembly, route hydration |
-| SmartProxy | HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/SNI, TLS, HTTP/3-capable route execution |
-| smartmta | SMTP ingress, queueing, DKIM-aware email processing and delivery |
-| SmartDNS | Authoritative DNS and DoH request handling |
-| smartradius | Network authentication, VLAN assignment, accounting |
-| remoteingress | Edge tunnel registrations and runtime forwarding into the hub |
-| smartvpn | VPN server and client access mediation for protected routes |
-| OpsServer + dashboard | Typed API and browser UI for operations |
-| smartdata-backed DB | Persistent routes, tokens, domains, records, profiles, cert metadata, caches |
+Bootstrap behavior:

-## Route Model
+- `getAdminBootstrapStatus` reports whether persistence is ready and whether a first admin is required.
+- The temporary env/config admin identity is only used to authorize bootstrap access while no persisted admin exists.
+- `createInitialAdminUser` creates the first persisted admin with normalized email and local password authentication.
+- Optional `idp.global` authentication can be enabled for that local account. The hosted `https://idp.global` endpoint is used by default, `adminAuth.idpGlobalUrl` or `DCROUTER_IDP_GLOBAL_URL` only override it, and the local dcrouter role remains authoritative.
+- After a persisted admin exists, temporary bootstrap admin login is rejected and normal persisted-account authentication is used.

-Routes fall into two ownership classes:
+## Configuration Model

-| Route kind | Origin | Ownership | What users can do |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| System routes | `config`, `email`, `dns` | Derived from config or runtime-managed subsystems | View and toggle only |
-| API routes | `api` | Created through route-management API | Create, edit, delete, toggle |
-
-Important details:
-
- system routes are persisted with a stable `systemKey`
- config-, email-, and DNS-derived routes show up in the System Routes view
- DoH routes are persisted as system-route templates and get their live socket handlers attached at apply time
- system routes are managed by the system, not edited directly by operators
-
-## Core Features
-
-### Traffic Routing
-
- Domain-, port-, and path-based SmartProxy routes
- HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxying and generic TCP/SNI forwarding
- Optional HTTP/3 augmentation for qualifying HTTPS routes
- Reusable source profiles and network targets for route composition
- Remote ingress aware routing for edge-delivered traffic
-
-### Email
-
- smartmta-based inbound email handling
- Route-based mail actions such as forward, process, deliver, reject
- DKIM-aware domain handling and DNS record generation support
- Email-domain management through the Ops API and UI
- Queue, resend, failure, and delivery inspection through the dashboard and API
-
-### DNS
-
- Authoritative scopes via `dnsScopes`
- Bootstrap nameserver domains via `dnsNsDomains`
- DNS-over-HTTPS endpoints for `/dns-query` and `/resolve`
- Managed domains, managed records, and provider-backed DNS integrations
- Internal email DNS record generation for `internal-dns` email domains
-
-### Certificates and ACME
-
- Certificate overview and operations through OpsServer
- Import, export, delete, and reprovision flows
- DB-backed ACME configuration management
- Integration with managed DNS for certificate provisioning flows
- Routes can declare `certificate: 'auto'`, but actual automated issuance depends on ACME being configured in the management plane
-
-### VPN, RADIUS, and Remote Ingress
-
- VPN-gated routes with target-profile-based access matching
- WireGuard-oriented VPN management with dcrouter-side client lifecycle support
- RADIUS MAB, VLAN assignment, and accounting
- Remote ingress hub for edge nodes tunneling traffic into central routes
-
-### Operations Plane
-
- Web dashboard with overview, network, routes, access, security, domains, certificates, logs, and email views
- TypedRequest API for automation and external control
- API tokens with scoped access
- Metrics, health, logs, and per-feature operational views
-
-## Configuration Overview
-
-The main entry point is `IDcRouterOptions`.
+`DcRouter` is configured with `IDcRouterOptions` from `@serve.zone/dcrouter`.

 | Option | Purpose |
 | --- | --- |
-| `smartProxyConfig` | Main HTTP/HTTPS and TCP/SNI routing configuration |
-| `emailConfig` | smartmta server config and email routes |
-| `emailPortConfig` | External-to-internal email port mapping and email storage path tuning |
-| `dnsNsDomains` | Nameserver hostnames used for NS bootstrap and DoH routes |
-| `dnsScopes` | Authoritative DNS zones managed by dcrouter |
-| `dnsRecords` | Static constructor-defined records |
-| `publicIp` / `proxyIps` | DNS A-record exposure strategy |
-| `dbConfig` | Embedded or external Mongo-backed persistence and seeding |
-| `radiusConfig` | RADIUS authentication, VLAN, and accounting setup |
-| `remoteIngressConfig` | Edge tunnel hub setup |
-| `vpnConfig` | VPN server and client access configuration |
-| `http3` | Global HTTP/3 behavior for qualifying routes |
-| `opsServerPort` | Dashboard and TypedRequest API port |
+| `baseDir` | Root directory for dcrouter runtime data. Defaults to `~/.serve.zone/dcrouter`. |
+| `smartProxyConfig` | Main SmartProxy route configuration for HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/SNI traffic. |
+| `emailConfig` | UnifiedEmailServer configuration: hostname, ports, domains, and mail routes. |
+| `emailPortConfig` | External-to-internal email port mapping and received-email storage path. |
+| `tls` | Legacy/static TLS and ACME contact settings used to seed certificate config. |
+| `dnsNsDomains` | Nameserver hostnames used for generated NS records and DoH routes. |
+| `dnsScopes` | Authoritative domains served by the embedded DNS server. |
+| `dnsRecords` | Constructor-defined DNS records. |
+| `publicIp` / `proxyIps` | IPs used for generated A records and proxy-aware DNS exposure. |
+| `dbConfig` | Smartdata persistence via embedded LocalSmartDb or external MongoDB. |
+| `radiusConfig` | RADIUS authentication, accounting, and VLAN assignment. |
+| `remoteIngressConfig` | Remote ingress hub configuration for edge tunnel nodes. |
+| `vpnConfig` | VPN server/client definitions and VPN-only routing behavior. |
+| `http3` | HTTP/3 augmentation settings for qualifying HTTPS routes. |
+| `opsServerPort` | Port for the Ops dashboard and `/typedrequest` API. Defaults to `3000`. |

-## Example: Enabling DNS, Email, and VPN
+Important runtime behavior:
+
+- `dbConfig.enabled` defaults to enabled. Without `mongoDbUrl`, dcrouter uses embedded LocalSmartDb.
+- If the DB is disabled, constructor-defined proxy traffic can still run, but persistent API routes, tokens, managed domains, and stored certificate state are unavailable.
+- Qualifying HTTPS forward routes on port `443` are HTTP/3-augmented unless `http3.enabled === false` or the route opts out.
+- DNS-over-HTTPS routes are generated on the first `dnsNsDomains` entry at `/dns-query` and `/resolve`.
+- Email listener ports can be remapped internally, for example public `25`, `587`, and `465` to unprivileged internal ports.
+
+## Route Ownership
+
+dcrouter keeps generated and operator-created routes separate so automation can reconcile safely.
+
+| Origin | Source | Mutability |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `config` | Constructor `smartProxyConfig.routes` and seed data | Toggle only |
+| `email` | Email listener and email-domain generated routes | Toggle only |
+| `dns` | Generated DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-related routes | Toggle only |
+| `api` | Ops UI or API client | Full CRUD |
+
+System routes are persisted with stable `systemKey` values. API-created routes are the editable route layer intended for operators and automation.

-## Operations API and Dashboard
+## VPN Target Profiles

-With the database enabled, dcrouter exposes a management plane for:
+Target profiles define what a VPN client can reach through `domains`, direct `targets`, and `routeRefs`. Set `allowRoutesByClientSourceIp: true` on a target profile when a VPN client should also reach non-`vpnOnly` routes that would have allowed the client's real connecting IP without the VPN.

- routes and route toggles
- API tokens
- source profiles and network targets
- DNS providers, domains, and records
- ACME configuration and certificate lifecycle
- email domains and email operations
- VPN clients, remote ingress edges, and RADIUS data
+dcrouter evaluates the live source IP reported by the VPN transport, such as `remoteAddr` or the WireGuard peer endpoint. If the route source policy allows that real IP, dcrouter injects the client's assigned VPN IP into SmartProxy for that route. The source-IP grant is live-only and is removed or updated when the VPN client disconnects or changes peer endpoint.

-The browser dashboard is built from the `ts_web` package and is served by OpsServer. The same backend is accessible programmatically via TypedRequest or the dedicated API client package.
+```typescript
+const targetProfile = {
+  name: 'ops laptop source access',
+  allowRoutesByClientSourceIp: true,
+};
+```

-## Programmatic API Client
+## Automation API

-Use the API client when you want automation or integration code instead of clicking through the dashboard.
+The OpsServer exposes TypedRequest handlers at `/typedrequest`. You can use raw contracts or the object-oriented API client.

 ```bash
 pnpm add @serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient
 ```

 ```typescript
-import { DcRouterApiClient } from '@serve.zone/dcrouter/apiclient';
+import { DcRouterApiClient } from '@serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient';

 const client = new DcRouterApiClient({
  baseUrl: 'https://dcrouter.example.com',
 });

-await client.login('admin', 'password');
+await client.login('admin@example.com', 'strong-password');

-const { routes } = await client.routes.list();
-const systemRoutes = routes.filter((route) => route.origin !== 'api');
-
-if (systemRoutes[0]) {
-  await systemRoutes[0].toggle(false);
-}
-
-await client.routes.build()
+const route = await client.routes.build()
  .setName('api-gateway')
  .setMatch({ ports: 443, domains: ['api.example.com'] })
  .setAction({ type: 'forward', targets: [{ host: '127.0.0.1', port: 8081 }] })
  .save();
+
+await route.toggle(true);
 ```

-See `./ts_apiclient/readme.md` for the dedicated API-client package docs.
+Use `@serve.zone/dcrouter/interfaces` or `@serve.zone/dcrouter-interfaces` when you want the raw TypedRequest contracts instead of resource managers.
+
+## OCI / Container Bootstrap
+
+`runCli()` supports an environment-driven container mode when `DCROUTER_MODE=OCI_CONTAINER`.
+
+```typescript
+import { runCli } from '@serve.zone/dcrouter';
+
+await runCli();
+```
+
+Supported environment overrides include:
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `DCROUTER_CONFIG_PATH` | JSON file loaded as the base `IDcRouterOptions` object. |
+| `DCROUTER_BASE_DIR` | Runtime data root. |
+| `DCROUTER_TLS_EMAIL` / `DCROUTER_TLS_DOMAIN` | TLS/ACME seed settings. |
+| `DCROUTER_PUBLIC_IP` / `DCROUTER_PROXY_IPS` | Public/proxy IP exposure settings. |
+| `DCROUTER_DNS_NS_DOMAINS` / `DCROUTER_DNS_SCOPES` | DNS nameserver and authoritative scope settings. |
+| `DCROUTER_EMAIL_HOSTNAME` / `DCROUTER_EMAIL_PORTS` | Email server seed settings. |
+| `DCROUTER_CACHE_ENABLED` | Enables or disables DB-backed persistence. |
+| `DCROUTER_MAX_CONNECTIONS`, `DCROUTER_MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_IP`, `DCROUTER_CONNECTION_RATE_LIMIT` | SmartProxy capacity and rate-limit overrides. |

-## Notes for Operators
-
- Database-backed management features depend on `dbConfig.enabled !== false`.
- If you disable the DB, constructor-configured services still run, but persistent management features are limited.
- Nameserver domains are still required for DNS bootstrap and DoH route generation.
- HTTP/3 is enabled by default for qualifying HTTPS routes unless disabled globally or per route.

-The core DcRouter package — a unified datacenter gateway orchestrator. 🚀
-
-This is the main entry point for DcRouter. It provides the `DcRouter` class that wires together SmartProxy, smartmta, SmartDNS, SmartRadius, RemoteIngress, and the OpsServer dashboard into a single cohesive service.
+The `ts/` directory is the main dcrouter runtime package. It exposes the `DcRouter` orchestrator, `IDcRouterOptions`, `runCli()`, and the server-side exports that matter when you want to boot the full router stack from code.

+- SmartProxy for HTTP/HTTPS/TCP routes
+- `UnifiedEmailServer` for SMTP ingress and delivery when `emailConfig` is present
+- DB-backed managers for routes, API tokens, target profiles, domains, records, ACME config, and email domains when the DB is enabled
+- embedded authoritative DNS and DoH route generation from `dnsNsDomains` and `dnsScopes`
+- VPN, RADIUS, and remote ingress services when their config blocks are enabled
+- OpsServer and the dashboard, which start on every boot

-## Exports
+## Important Runtime Behavior

-```typescript
-// Main class
-export { DcRouter, IDcRouterOptions } from './classes.dcrouter.js';
+- The DB is enabled by default and uses an embedded local database when no external MongoDB URL is provided.
+- System routes from config, email, and DNS are persisted with stable ownership and are toggle-only.
+- API-created routes are the only routes intended for full CRUD from the dashboard or client SDK.
+- Qualifying HTTPS forward routes on port `443` get HTTP/3 augmentation by default.
+- `runCli()` is the supported code-level bootstrap entrypoint; the package does not expose a separate npm `bin` command.

-// Re-exported from smartmta
-export { UnifiedEmailServer } from '@push.rocks/smartmta';

-## Key Classes
-
-### `DcRouter`
-
-The central orchestrator. Accepts `IDcRouterOptions` and manages the lifecycle of all sub-services:
-
-| Config Section | Service Started | Package |
-|----------------|----------------|---------|
-| `smartProxyConfig` | SmartProxy (HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/SNI) | `@push.rocks/smartproxy` |
-| `emailConfig` | UnifiedEmailServer (SMTP) | `@push.rocks/smartmta` |
-| `dnsNsDomains` + `dnsScopes` | DnsServer (UDP + DoH) | `@push.rocks/smartdns` |
-| `radiusConfig` | RadiusServer (auth + accounting) | `@push.rocks/smartradius` |
-| `remoteIngressConfig` | RemoteIngressManager + TunnelManager | `@serve.zone/remoteingress` |
-| `tls` + `dnsChallenge` | SmartAcme (ACME cert provisioning) | `@push.rocks/smartacme` |
-| `http3` | HTTP/3 route augmentation (enabled by default) | built-in |
-| `cacheConfig` | CacheDb (embedded MongoDB) | `@push.rocks/smartdata` |
-| *(always)* | OpsServer (dashboard + API) | `@api.global/typedserver` |
-| *(always)* | MetricsManager | `@push.rocks/smartmetrics` |
-
-### `RemoteIngressManager`
-
-Manages CRUD for remote ingress edge registrations. Persists edges via StorageManager. Provides port derivation from routes tagged with `remoteIngress.enabled`.
-
-### `TunnelManager`
-
-Manages the Rust-based RemoteIngressHub lifecycle. Syncs allowed edges, tracks connection status, and exposes edge statuses (connected, publicIp, activeTunnels, lastHeartbeat).
+| Need | Module |
+| --- | --- |

+| Raw TypedRequest request/data contracts | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-interfaces` or `@serve.zone/dcrouter/interfaces` |
+| The standalone migration runner | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-migrations` |
+| The browser dashboard module boundary | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-web` |

 # @serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient

-Typed, object-oriented API client for operating a running dcrouter instance. 🔧
-
-Use this package when you want a clean TypeScript client instead of manually firing TypedRequest calls. It wraps the OpsServer API in resource managers and resource classes such as routes, certificates, tokens, edges, emails, stats, logs, config, and RADIUS.
+`@serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient` is the object-oriented TypeScript client for the dcrouter OpsServer API. It wraps `/typedrequest` calls in managers, builders, and resource classes for routes, certificates, API tokens, remote ingress, email, stats, config, logs, RADIUS, and WorkHoster integrations.

-## Authentication Modes
+## Authentication

-| Mode | How it works |
-| --- | --- |
-| Admin login | Call `login(username, password)` and the client stores the returned identity for later requests |
-| API token | Pass `apiToken` into the constructor for token-based automation |
+The client supports persisted-admin session login and API-token authentication. Initial admin creation is a bootstrap flow exposed by the Ops dashboard and raw TypedRequest contracts; after a persisted admin exists, use that account with `login()`.

 ```typescript
-const client = new DcRouterApiClient({
+const sessionClient = new DcRouterApiClient({
  baseUrl: 'https://dcrouter.example.com',
-  apiToken: 'dcr_your_token_here',
+});
+await sessionClient.login('admin@example.com', 'strong-password');
+
+const tokenClient = new DcRouterApiClient({
+  baseUrl: 'https://dcrouter.example.com',
+  apiToken: 'dcr_token_value',
 });
 ```

-## Main Managers
+`baseUrl` is normalized by removing trailing slashes. Requests are sent to `${baseUrl}/typedrequest`. `buildRequestPayload()` injects the current identity and optional API token for manager methods.
+
+## Manager Map

 | Manager | Purpose |
 | --- | --- |
-| `client.routes` | List routes and create API-managed routes |
-| `client.certificates` | Inspect and operate on certificate records |
-| `client.apiTokens` | Create, list, toggle, roll, revoke API tokens |
-| `client.remoteIngress` | Manage registered remote ingress edges |
-| `client.stats` | Read operational metrics and health data |
-| `client.config` | Read current configuration view |
-| `client.logs` | Read recent logs or stream them |
-| `client.emails` | List emails and trigger resend flows |
-| `client.radius` | Operate on RADIUS clients, VLANs, sessions, and accounting |
+| `client.routes` | List merged routes, build API routes, update/delete API routes, and toggle routes. |
+| `client.certificates` | Inspect certificate summaries and trigger certificate operations. |
+| `client.apiTokens` | Create, list, toggle, roll, and revoke API tokens. |
+| `client.remoteIngress` | Manage edge registrations, statuses, ports, tags, and connection tokens. |
+| `client.emails` | Inspect received/cached email items and trigger resend flows. |
+| `client.workHosters` | Manage WorkHoster-facing route/application integration calls. |
+| `client.stats` | Read health, counters, summaries, and runtime status. |
+| `client.config` | Read the current configuration view. |
+| `client.logs` | Read recent log information. |
+| `client.radius` | Manage RADIUS clients, VLAN mappings, and accounting sessions. |

-## Route Behavior
-
-Routes are returned as `Route` instances with:
-
- `id`
- `name`
- `enabled`
- `origin`
-
-Important behavior:
-
- API routes can be created, updated, deleted, and toggled.
- System routes can be listed and toggled, but not edited or deleted.
- A system route is any route whose `origin !== 'api'`.
-
-```typescript
-const { routes } = await client.routes.list();
-
-for (const route of routes) {
-  if (route.origin !== 'api') {
-    await route.toggle(false);
-  }
-}
-```

 const route = await client.routes.build()
  .setName('internal-app')

+    ports: 443,
    domains: ['internal.example.com'],
  })

-## Example: Certificates and Stats
+System routes from `config`, `email`, and `dns` origins are designed to be toggled, not edited. Full create/update/delete behavior is for routes with origin `api`.
+

-## What This Package Does Not Do
+## What This Package Is Not

 - It does not start dcrouter.
- It does not embed the dashboard.
- It does not replace the request interfaces package if you only need raw types.
+- It does not serve or bundle the Ops dashboard.
+- It does not replace `@serve.zone/dcrouter-interfaces` when you want raw TypedRequest contracts.

-Use `@serve.zone/dcrouter` to run the server, `@serve.zone/dcrouter-web` for the dashboard bundle/components, and `@serve.zone/dcrouter-interfaces` for raw API contracts.
+Use `@serve.zone/dcrouter` for the server runtime and `@serve.zone/dcrouter-interfaces` for shared request/data types.
+
+## Development
+
+This folder is published from the dcrouter monorepo via `tspublish.json` with order `5`.
+
+Useful source entry points:
+
+- `index.ts` exports the public client surface.
+- `classes.dcrouterapiclient.ts` owns authentication and request dispatch.
+- `classes.route.ts` owns route resources and builders.
+- `classes.remoteingress.ts`, `classes.apitoken.ts`, `classes.radius.ts`, and the other manager files wrap focused API domains.

-## API Domains Covered
+## Bootstrap Contracts

-| Domain | Examples |
-| --- | --- |
-| Auth | admin login, logout, identity verification |
-| Routes | merged routes, create, update, delete, toggle |
-| Access | API tokens, source profiles, target profiles, network targets |
-| DNS and domains | providers, domains, DNS records |
-| Certificates | overview, reprovision, import, export, delete, ACME config |
-| Email | email operations, email domains |
-| Remote ingress | edge registrations, status, connection tokens |
-| VPN | clients, status, telemetry, lifecycle |
-| RADIUS | clients, VLANs, sessions, accounting |
-| Observability | stats, logs, health, configuration |
+The auth request group includes `getAdminBootstrapStatus` and `createInitialAdminUser`. These exist so a fresh DB-backed dcrouter can require explicit first-admin creation instead of auto-persisting a default account. `createInitialAdminUser` requires the temporary bootstrap identity and can optionally enable `idp.global` authentication for the same normalized local email. The SDK defaults to hosted `https://idp.global`; dcrouter URL settings are overrides only.

-## Notable Data Types
+## When To Use It

-| Type | Description |
-| --- | --- |
-| `data.IMergedRoute` | Route entry returned by route management, including `origin`, `enabled`, and optional `systemKey` |
-| `data.IDcRouterRouteConfig` | dcrouter-flavored route config used across the stack |
-| `data.IRouteMetadata` | Reference metadata connecting routes to source profiles or network targets |
-| `data.IIdentity` | Admin identity used for authenticated requests |
-| `data.IApiTokenInfo` | Public token metadata without the secret |
+- Use it in custom CLIs that call dcrouter's TypedRequest API directly.
+- Use it in tests that need request/response types without the OO client.
+- Use it in integrations where server and client code need the same data shapes.
+- Use `@serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient` instead when you want higher-level managers and builders.

-## When To Use This Package
+## Development

- Use it in custom dashboards or CLIs that call TypedRequest directly.
- Use it in tests that need strongly typed request payloads or response assertions.
- Use it when you want the API contract without pulling in the OO client.
+This folder is published from the dcrouter monorepo via `tspublish.json` with order `1`, before the client package that imports it.

-If you want a higher-level client with managers and resource classes, use `@serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient` instead.
+Useful source entry points:
+
+- `index.ts` exports `data` and `requests` namespaces.
+- `data/index.ts` groups shared data models.
+- `requests/index.ts` groups TypedRequest contracts.
+- `data/route-management.ts` defines route ownership, API token scopes, profiles, and network target shapes.
